Hey guys... anyone use the delkin snug fit ? How is the operation of the camera with that on? I want something for my 60D It's not for scratch protection what I real want is something that covers the rear dial/multidirectional button.. Because I found that on the lower left part of the multidirectional button, is tiny square that leaves a gap and there is where any liquid get trap, and cause some malfunction.

3 weeks ago my camera stop working because a drop of sweat went thru that spot, Canon fixed with a $230 bill...But today the same happen and while inspecting the camera, found that gap but this time I use a duster can blowing exactly there and everything works as new.. But don't want to happen again !! My strong eye is the left one, so unfortunately my nose lays very close to that spot, and it works like a funnel :confused:

If you think those case are crap, any other recomendation ?

I really hate the idea of this :mad: But what other option I have to prevent that ??

Carlos, I bought one of these for my 7D about 6 months ago and it fit very well. I eventually removed it, because I added a battery grip,,but the skin fit fine. I don't know if it would specifically solve your problem, but it does cover the back of the camera, so it very well might.

They were ok, once you got the feel of working with them through the skin, they worked fine, just a different feel than without the covering.
