Greg, I think it's a great idea! Here's a link to a fellow making a Kydex plastic holster for his handgun. The plastic material appears to form very easily using basic shop tools and heat. Inside could be covered with a thin layer of fabric, neoprene, etc to cushion the camera body. Perhaps contact cement would work for that...? Anyway, here's the link: _http://www.steyrclub.com/vb/showthread.php?t=2602_ (http://www.steyrclub.com/vb/showthread.php?t=2602) Keep the ideas coming!

Current 3D printing material become more and more performant. I was wondering if it was not possible to design an eveready case in plastic, quite similar to the leather one, but modern, with some features I'm thinking of, such as better front protection and another way to put it on and remove it. I'm thinking of it and will try to have a clearer idea of the thing. Maybe the thing could be just a shell in which the camera is protected from tear and wear and dings, without being completely covering the camera. Still don't no precisely, but this could be interesting to draw and try. What do you think? All the best, Greg **************New MapQuest Local shows what's happening at your destination.
