There have been people who had bought the armor alone, who had complained about the lens armor piece falling off. There was a user who solved this dilemma (for the standard 15-55mm lens) by putting it on backwards and then flipping it inside out. Yup, that works. The only problem with that is it tends to block the flash and creates this little shadow at the bottom of the picture. Solution to that is to keep flipping the lens armor piece back and forth between use, if flash is needed. It's a little annoying, especially when putting the camera away in the bag, but since that was the one armor piece I had wanted because I was paranoid about banging up my lens, I just put up with it.
This armor does not fit as snugly as the Delkin Snug-it armor, but it does the job, although the flash is semi-blocked by the top flap. Solution to that is to just push it down to let the flash pop up. I'm still debating if I should cut it off or not.
The cleaning cloth is a nice handy piece to have attached to the bag. I was a little annoyed when I received my order because the cleaning solution had a leak and got most of the kit wet.
Other than that, a nice deal if you're going to buy the armor (never hurts to have extra cleaning kits or memory card holders or LCD screen protectors, right?).
