Five comments about a product that doesn't exist. They are not shipping until at least January. Judge it after you have tried it. It is a good company with interesting products. Some are great, some not so great. Wait for it to hatch before you count it.
so if it does get a bang, does that mean it'll be permanently stuck on the camera? why and how for only 50 bucks when every thing else is so expensive. i have a good bit of rrs kit too.
A small Pelican with cushy lining would provide similar protection as the aluminum jacket. And remain about the same hassle to deal with. Once you extract the camera, then what? You have to stuff the case in a pocket or another bag.
I'm sure they'll sell a few, it's pretty funny. Someone somewhere will love it... just like people do those damn lebraws they put on the front of their cars

Though I question the wisdom of skiing with and possibly falling onto a hard thick object like a metal-encased camera. That could be a bone-breaker.
No more so than the UHF radio and the various other things I often carry when skiing (ski patroller). Not a big deal - bigger risks than that.
seriously, what is the big deal. this is a unique product that will definitely appeal to some for ruggedness or design or just being different. If you like it, buy it. if you don't like it, don't buy it. but let's not just sit around making up reasons why it sucks or rules. might as well talk about ladies' handbags.

That said, my G9 is dang tough. Slipped out of my hand at chest height and fell to the concrete sidewalk. Not a mark on it and works just fine.

A-Ha! Add one more comment about the RRS case - unnecessary!
