Attracts Dust, Flimsy Sides, & Strange Cut = Subpar Coverage
By Matthew Wilson
== Silicon Sleeve for the Kodak Zi8 ==

PROS: (Unfortunately) this is the only silicon sleeve available for the Zi8 as of yet. The material is very smooth to the touch (good for slipping into pockets!) and does well to protect most of the camera. It's engraved with "Kodak" and "HD" on the rear and front--respectively--so it feels "genuine." And if you haven't removed it yet, this sleeve is also good for covering the loud and juvenile "YouTube!" sticker (don't ya think?) that Kodak stuck to the front of the Zi8.

CONS: The sleeve is NOT anti-static--it was covered with a thin layer of dust nearly 20 minutes after I took it out of the package (of course, this might also mean I need to vacuum!). You can wipe it dust-free easily, but annoying nonetheless, especially if you carry the camera in a (lint-y) pocket. Most distressing is the bizarre "custom" cut, which in some places, seems like it was cut generically rather than specifically for the Zi8. Also, Kodak ignored covering a small but important portion of the front of the Zi8 near the controls--a strange omission worth noting. Perhaps MOST annoying are the side pieces--thin strips that run along the front sides of the Zi8. They're flimsy and thin enough such that just by gripping the camera normally, you cause them to flex and move around.

BOTTOM LINE: It'll have to do for now, and it IS another layer of protection for the Zi8. But static dust and a poor cut means another design is badly needed. I know that many of us, eager to make the Zi8 more rugged, will be waiting!

Good sleeve
By Superman
This is a useful product. It covers the Zi8 nicely and gives it a good grip...and easily slips on and off.

Holes are in the important places. Note another reviewer said a hole exists for no reason....this is actually for the infrared sensor in case you want to use a remote.

The only time you need to take the sleeve off is to change the battery or use the USB arm (which I never use since I just take out the SD card to transfer video...you don't need to remove the sleeve for this).

Yes, it collects lint, like most other silicone sleeves I've seen (e.g., for blackberries, iphones, etc). But that's really irrelevant given the protection and grip you get....granted, its not gonna help if you drop it on concrete, but it will prevent dings and scratches.

Amazon's service was great, as usual.

USB plug blocked
By Reysbro
The sleeve does it's protective job well, it's only drawback is that you need to remove it in order to access the USB plug - that's fairly annoying if you use it on a daily basis like me.
