Hopefully my new R5 arrives tomorrow. Any advice on a body protective cover? Yay or Nay? I would like to hear your opinions on what works and what does not
 
Greetings,
I have been using body covers for many years. My brand of choice is EasyCover. Single molded piece of flexible silicone. About $30. They are a Dutch company, Netherlands. They sell everywhere (B&H) etc. All controls and ports, battery, etc remain accessible. The fit is great, cutouts are where they are supposed to be and they provide an extra layer of bump and scuff protection. A little extra water resistance too.

I was disappointed when the R5 C was released and I found out they were not going to make a cover for it. They have covers for all the major brands/camera's. They are available for the R5 however. Ruggard is putting out one for the R5 C next month. I'll probably grab one. They work extremely well. I've used them in extreme cold, heat and rain. No issues at all.
