I ordered a grip, the one favoured, from Amazon, 1 month on it hadn't arrived.
I claimed and got a refund and now am about to bite the bullet and order from ebay.
The Amazon supplier was not clearly marked as an off shore supplier, despite being based in Hong Kong (I think). Consequently the 1st class Royal Mail despatch was a bit misleading.
I can't fault Amazon for their service,the supplier is now marked as shipped from the USA, but I've wasted a month and will now have to start all over again!
K110+DA40, K200+DA35, K3 and a bag of lenses, bodies and other bits.
Mustn't forget the Zenits, or folders, or...
PPG entries.
Not a consideration for me for such items, Third party!!

I took my grip to bits when I first ordered it and taped all the connections and cables up inside, there aren't many.
Certainly nothing to short out in there.

I use one of the copied ones. I don't see the point of a weatherprooofed grip. The body is fully weatherprooofed so any water that gets in between the grip and body is not going to harm the body itself I would have thought....
Not quite - because I think the rubber plug over the grip interface port on the bottom of the camera body probably forms part of the weather sealing of the body. Therefore, when it is not there (as when the grip is attached, then the overall weather sealing is impaired.
