One point to consider by .. ()
Outstanding product. Be aware that the lens hood interferes with the built in pop up flash. You will find a dark area in your photos as the hood blocks a small amount of the area from being illuminated by the flash. There are no issues without the flash.
Almost Perfect

When I first held a Nikon D-40 in the store, it seemed too small for my hands. Then, I saw Camera Armor. I ordered it with my D-40, and I cannot imagine using the camera without it. I cannot speak to the protective function, because I have not yet dropped the camera. What I can say is that Camera Armor makes the camera feel larger, and way, way grippier. In fact, I have no problem carrying the camera with one hand around the grip area. There are only two very small issues: First, I have not found the rubber lens hood to be useful. Second, I found the rubber at the bottom center rear of the camera to be in the way when I tried to mount the camera to the tripod. This was easily remedied by trimming away a sliver of rubber from back. In short, buy it. you will not regret it.
Ruggedized Camera Cover by .. ()
There are three parts: 1. Case which is designed to fit over the entire camera; 2. Clear plastic part which fits over the view lens on the back of the camera.; 3. A large round rubber piece designed to fit over the lens in the front of the camera.
The soft pliable rubber fits snuggly over the Nikon D40 camera, providing a the camera with a protective barrier. A clear plastic piece is designed to fit over the back view lens which provides scratch resistance.
I personally don't use piece number 3.
It does the job - provides "armor". It was recommended to me by a friend and I recently also recommended it to another friend.
I use it on my Nikon D40.
Worse than bad

This is a hinder to you using your camera. Hard to attach a tripod to camera with the rubber flopping into the underneath of the camera. Fits like a glove - a baseball glove. The Rubber on the back covers all the buttons and makes all the buttons sloppy to push. Each change of the menu was an ordeal and a lesson in anger management. I ended up going underneath the rubber to get access to the controls.
Nice try, but don't bother. I cut mine off with a razor so I would not be tempted to use it again.
Excellent Protection for Camera by .. ()
This is an excellent product to prevent your camera body from damage. It was a little hard putting it on but with a little stretching and tugging it fit like a glove. Every Camera Armor is made specifically for each camera body so it has openings to access the battery, SD/memory cards, viewfinder, mode dial, etc. Also, it has a clear plastic cover for the LCD monitor to protect it, too. The price is very reasonable considering the alternative. Most of the entry level/lesser priced camera bodies are made from plastic so they can be scratched or broken easily. My only complaint - the small function buttons have their symbols or letters molded into the rubber and are hard to read. This won't be a problem after I get used to operating the camera and get familiar with them. I tried using some white paint to fill in the letters and symbols but it is not sticking to the rubber. I need to find a paint that will work. Anyway, I'm very happy with my Camera Armor.
