Protective camera skin
I totally recommend buying this product if you own the Olympus Stylus Tough 8000 Camera. The skin wraps over the back door where you plug in the charger. This keeps the door from accidently opening up and possibly breaking off while in your purse or backpack. It is very easy to put on and off your camera.

Pefect fit, better to grip, stops scratches
So, thinking about getting this? It's a great idea. While being a durable camera, it's still nice not to show pictures on a camera that looks like a war relic. I have a screen protector and this case and the "waterproof strap" (the included factory strap doesn't dissolve when wet...) because it has a cinch slide so I can make it quite difficult to drop it reducing the chances that I'll test the durability like I did my last 3 digital cameras.
Problem: You cannot access the data port or the battery compartment without taking the case off. I'm heading to Europe soon and am bringing my Tough-8000 in this skin, my 110-220 charger, my extra battery, and my extra cards so I can keep taking pictures until I'm somewhere I can upload and charge.
Solution: Umm, easy 3 minute fix. I got a felt pen and outlined where I needed access to on both the data port and the battery compartment, took the case off and after tucking a piece of wood in the case, cut the outlines with an Exact-o blade. Works great for what I want and need and now I won't be taking it on and off.

Olympus Cameras HistoryOlympus Corporation (early known as Takachiho Seisakusho) was founded by Takeshi Yamashitaon on October 12, 1919, and initially specialized in microscope and thermometer businesses. The company is named after Mount Olympus, the home of the gods in Greek mythology.
Olympus continued the tradition of manufacturing high-quality optics through the development of camera lenses, starting in 1934. Two years later the Zuiko lens was born.
