Digital camera reviews of Kodak 1736933 Zi8 Silicon Sleeve (Black)
Digital camera Review: Attracts Dust, Flimsy Sides, & Strange Cut = Subpar Coverage
Summary: 2 Stars
== 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!
