A couple of trade-offs, but a solid option
My first thought when opening the box was that it felt empty. It wasn't. Instead, this case is remarkably lightweight. But my impression is that in spite of its extraordinarily thin plastic walls, this case send pretty sturdy. In terms of perceived weight, think of an empty eggshell. It covers only the more fragile upper half of the Osmo Pocket 3, leaving the control buttons uncovered, but I don't see that as any real trouble. When using the standard DJI case, sometimes the gimbal wants to spin out of position as you're inserting the camera. No so with this case. It's easy to insert the camera into this case and once it's in, the cover snaps securely closed.The included tempered glass screen protector worked just fine, but there were no instructions for installing it. Fortunately, I have installed similar screen protectors on other devices in the past, so I had no real difficulty.The standard DJI case provided in the camera bundle has a spot to store a couple of accessory filters or lenses, which this case does not. Not a showstopper for most, though.Although this cover has a much more irregular shape than the DJI version, I had no difficulty storing the camera with this cover in a third party carrying case which has a space specifically designed to hold the camera in its standard DJI cover.In the end, I might purchase this cover if I lost or damaged my DJI case but don't think it's a significant upgrade.Edit: I have discovered a nice added feature. The plastic is sufficiently translucent to allow seeing the battery level(s) displayed on the screen when charging, even dimmed. If I touch the screen, through the case, it brightens briefly for even easier reading. I had assumed it to be opaque. I'll note that it seems that the camera stops displaying the charge level once the camera itself is at 100%, even if the second battery is below 100%. Instead, the LED on second battery acts as an indicator.Having used this for a recent trip and discovering this new "feature", I am upgrading my review to 5 stars.
