Looking at my A7R3, there definitely are rubberized gaskets around the inside of SD card door and also on the optional battery grip where it inserts into the camera body. The port doors do not have these gaskets, but appear to be made of a kind of rubberized flexible plastic that seals very tightly. Don’t know how the Kolari folks missed this. However, from an outside inspection, the speaker/microphone openings appear open to the elements, although very small. If using in the rain, I would cover them with waterproof tape.

“There's actually no rubberized gaskets or anything like that. The edges where the camera comes together look standard. Any weatherproofing must be done with just very tight joints, and possibly hydrophobic coatings.”
Interesting no? Brings Roger Cicala’s article on the (lack of) weatherselaing in Sony bodies into sharp relief.
