I've had my Canon G1 less than a week and am beginning to wonder whether the rubberized plastic snap-on terminal cover on the side of the camera will last a month. Does anyone have any comments about its durability?

Mine has lasted since November 2000 and shows no sign of wear. I open it to charge the battery several times a week. I like to keep the battery topped off.

The cover is NOT as fragile as it may look!

I had your exact concern when I got my G1. I used to be so scared that I would rip it off by accident. Like LarryRz said, it is not as fragile as it looks. Also, it still "snaps" into place after many uses.

That leads me to ask, why don't they make the entire camera out of that material?

From all evidence and polls on the DPREVIEW forum, the terminal cover is very reliable. No reported failures to date. Still waiting for the first report.
