So, I know we don't get too many battery grip issues, and most of them just talk about how badly made they are.

Well anyway, I have a slight inconvenient problem. You see, I use a BG-E3, and the rubber 'leather' at the corner, right under the canon word, had come off a few months ago (maybe 2?). I didn't bother about it, because there was probably nothing I could do.

So now, air has gotten inside and under the rubber-- everything feels pouchy and wrinkly now- and it's not a nice feeling at all when you're on a shoot. It's not even a year (only 8 months) since I got it new, so I don't expect it to be so quickly worn out.

Anything that Canon service centers can do?

You can always peel the rubber off and re-glue it with contact cement.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

Contact adhesive does the job amazingly, both my MkIIs have various grips held together with it.
