Which bagpack are you ordering? The Bagman one?
Wow so fast v2 already.Those guys in here sure spamming it hard!
Btw, I'm using D80 as well, plz list me in.
Actually the word that relates to a bag is in fact "
backpack" and not "bagpack". That is a big misconception for some.
So, what he mention above would probably mean battery pack.
Btw, yewkhuay how you track the # of post posted by each forumer in the D80 thread? I didn't know I posted that much.

Nikon D80 MADE Camera Armor Review
Includes:
Bought @ Amazon US @ $33.40 with free shipping to US
1. Body Armor
2. Lens Armor
3. LCD Shield
4. Lens Cap Leash
The LCD shield is the exact replica of the Nikon's original BM-7 LCD Monitor Cover.
First ImpressionsYou can see the box size in comparison with the Nikon D80 from the picture above.
The camera armor has a thickness of approximately 2mm. The material is silicone. It's pretty stiff/tough but yet flexible enough to fit your camera inside the armor.
InstallationTo install the armor, you will need to remove your camera neck strap and your lens. You have to cover the camera mount with the Nikon cover to prevent dust from entering the sensor during the installation of the camera armor. Next, just slip the camera into the opening at the bottom of the camera armor.
The Nikon D80 will fit snugly into the camera armor without any problems. You may have to slowly adjust every part of the armor to ensure that it is properly fitted into the Nikon D80.
In my handsWith the Camera Armor, my Nikon D80 definitely feels much bigger in my hands. It feels solid and you can feel the extra grip from the silicone against your hands.
OperationAll buttons work beneath the cover but accessing the buttons needs some getting used to. This is because you cannot really feel the actual button anymore. You have to press through the armor. You don't really have to use more strength, it's about the same strength you need to press the button without the armor. The main and secondary command dials work without any problems as there is a bigger clearance for these dials.
There are no problems switching lenses.
Lens armorYou have to force stretch the lens armor to fit around the lens. You have to fit it around the front most part of the lens. I fitted mine around the UV filter.
I'd probably wont be using the lens armor as I prefer using an actual lens hood when I need to.
Problems1. SD card compartment cover cannot open with the camera armor. The armor protrudes till a point that the SD card compartment cannot be opened. I think this can be easily solved by trimming the armor.
2. When used with the battery grip, the lower part of the armor lifts a little as the battery grip is pushing against the bottom part of the camera armor. Once again, trimming the part of the armor would probably solve this problem.
3. You can only see the secondary label above the buttons. There is not indication for the button label(label on the button).
4. It attracts a fair bit of dust. Not too bad.
It'll probably take me some time to get used to it. I might keep it on or take it off.
