Great protection for on the go
I was looking for something to offer protection for my camera while traveling - I don't want to carry my big camera case when sight-seeing, etc. The material is soft and padded and also flexible. It fits my Nikon D5100 with 18-105mm lens perfectly. I like the zipper pocket on the back for an additional battery. I feel the value for money is good.

Worth the price
I got this for a Canon T6i that I tend to bump into things, mostly doors and doorways, while I have it slung to the side. Although I would have liked the neoprene to be a bit thicker, it's quite sufficient for the minor bumps and thumps I tend to subject my camera to. I would not want to drop the camera, not even one foot off the ground with this sleeve, but a one foot drop is about as much as I can trust the protection. And one foot is pushing my trust on that. However, swinging it around into things while turning around in doorways is a different matter. When the sleeve is closed with the camera inserted, the sides of the lens are not up against the neoprene which is stretched a bit to fit the camera. This leaves a decent amount of air space between the lens and the stretched taut neoprene which provides an additional layer of bumping-lens-on-the-side cushioning. In other words, you can poke that area with your finger and it has a springy action like a trampoline.My Canon T6i fits perfectly with the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens and reversible tulip shade. Tulip shade must be in reversed store position. The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM will not fit at all, even without the shade and even if you try to force stretch the sleeve. It's just too long.When the camera is inserted and the sleeve is about to be velcroed closed, the velcro will not meet the other velcro part unless you pull and stretch the the sleeve. At first this may seem like an annoyance or a design problem or maybe the lens is a bit too long, but in fact it's there on purpose so the neoprene will be stretched around the lens for the above already stated purpose. Only a small amount of pulling and stretching is required, no problem at all. To insert the camera, turn the lower 2 corners on the rear inside out. Insert camera and turn the corners back in.I'm very satisfied with this item and glad I bought it. I think it has a decent value...low cost-high quality ratio.

Mind the grip!
Appears very well made and offers good protection from minor bumps and weather. Nice subdued grey color is a plus. My only issue is the fit over my rig. Bought for a Lumix G9 with 17mm Speedmaster lens. Plenty of room for the massive lens but, the camera’s incorporated handle or grip makes for a tight fit. Not impossible, still offers protection, and the Velcro closes. But, annoying and lumpy looking when on. Thankfully neoprene stretches. Still, not something I will be taking on and off repeatedly as it is a two-handed operation. With so many cameras sprouting these grips today, USA Gear would be wise to add a little more room on the right hand side.

Good fit for Sony A6000 telephoto (55-210mm) setup
This review is for USA Gear FlexARMOR X, Model GRFXFSL110BKEW as labeled on actual product purchased (see attached photos).The story is that I had been looking for a neoprene case that would nicely fit my compact mirrorless camera with telephoto zoom lens 55-210mm and at the same time it would not be too bulky/roomy when I use pancake style compact 16-50mm lens. I would put the camera in a case and transport it in a backpack, in a messenger or inside of my car's glove compartment. I would not plan to change lens in such cases but I would like to have a spare battery at hand.Actual camera and lens I use are these: Sony A6000 wearing Sony leather jacket LCS-EBE, telephoto zoom lens SEL55210, power zoom lens SELP1650. With the leather jacket on and telephoto lens attached and lens cap on, camera's overall dimensions are (LxWxH): 6"x5.1"x3.1" (this is not accounting for the viewfinder eye-piece).As of 03/11/2016 the model listed here as FlexARMOR X showed different dimensions in the product details and in the product description. In the details section it showed "Interior Dimensions: 5.8" x 4.4" x 2.9"" and in the description it showed "Interior Dimensions: 6.5" x 6.25" x 3"" (none of which are correct, read on).After reviewing pictures of the case, I decided to give it a shot and ordered it. And I'm glad i tried because actual case size worked better that any of two sizes listed on the product page.So, note Actual Interior Dimensions: (LxWxH) 5.8" x 5.5" x 3.0".These internal dimensions fit my A6000 telephoto lens setup like a glove (even with the viewfinder eye-piece attached). Lens compartment can fit lens of larger diameter than SEL55210 and it's a bit loose for the latter. Internal height of the case is exact fit; width of the case has about 0.5" extra room for my 5.1" wide camera and this is actually beneficial since it makes removing and putting the camera back very easy.The case secures around the camera with a velcro on the bottom of the case. The back side of the case has small flat zippered pocket which unexpectedly can fit a spare battery for A6000 and a small plastic case with spare SD memory card.Overall, the case is very nice quality, all materials used in the case look and feel like high quality, seams also look like very well sewn job. There is a loop sewn to the bottom of the case that can be used to attach it to the camera with provided carabiner. Regarding 6mm neoprene mentioned in the description, it is a bit sort of that and actually is about 4mm, which still should provide adequate protection expected from such type of cases.As a surprise finding, this case leaves very little to desire for my A6000 setup. The case could be improved though through adding a couple metal clips over velcro to make it more secure. Also, it would be nice to have a zippered pocket on the side of the lens compartment to comfortably fit a spare battery and a few lens filters.I'll update later if anything good/bad comes up during actual use of the case.P.S.This is not a sponsored review, I just wanted to help fellow owners of mirorless camera sets in their search for this type of cases.As of 03/11/2016 case was reasonably priced at $17.00.
