What is a leather camera skin?

Camera armor is a type of accessory that is used to protect photography equipment from damage. These types of accessories protect photography devices from scratches, falls, and other types of damage or debris. These skins fit closely to the body of the camera, and there are models available for most types of cameras made by major manufacturers. These accessories may be interchanged if you want to use a different style with your photography device.

Do these skins come in multiple colors?

Yes, this type of leather armor comes in a variety of colors:

• Brown: Brown is the most common color in which these accessories are offered. Brown armor is usually made from naturally treated leather or leather that has been stained brown with dye. Different hues of brown armor are available.
• Black: Many types of armor are also offered in black. Black leather has been dyed to attain this hue.
• Red: Red leather armor may also be available. This type of leather is similar to natural leather, but a special process has been used to derive this alternative color.
• Other colors: In addition to brown and red leather, photography armor may be offered colors such as white, bright red, yellow, or blue.

What types of leather camera skins are available?

There are two different types of camera skins:

• Body armor: This type of armor covers the lower body of a photography device. The photography device can be used while this type of skin is attached.
