Does anyone have one of these neoprene cases for their camera? It looks like it might be good protection while carrying the camera around where it might get bumped or splashed. I was thinking using something like this for hiking. It would give the camera a little extra protection for times its in my backpack or around my neck without having to carry a bigger case for it.

What do you think?

I have similar cases; they are from Op/Tech, like this one:

I've used them almost everywhere-hiking, caving, on the beach, crawling around somewhere and general stuff. Although they're not water/dust-tight they help guard against the bumping and splashing that always seems to target the guy with the camera.

I just ordered one from B&H. We'll see how it is. We are going to Disney next weekend- I'll probably use it there if it arrives in time. A little added protection for when I stick the camera in my fannypack or backpack since I don't normally carry a separate camera bag.

I have a couple Zing lens pouches, which I believe are made from the same material. I'm quite happy with them, for what it's worth.

I'm not sure that I'd trust them to add all that much protection, though - maybe against a minor scrape and bump, but a good crash will probably easily overwhelm whatever protection the neoprene gives it.
