ABSTRACT:
At least one embodiment of the inventive technology may be a removable protective covering for a camera, where the protective covering comprises a sleeve that has a first opening and a second opening. One or more of the openings may be defined by elastically deformable cuff(s) having unstretched and maximally stretched cross-sectional areas that are smaller and larger than certain cross-sectional areas of the camera. As such, the camera may be removable from the covering through such opening(s) as desired in order to shoot a photograph.
