The Square Omni is a well built device, but impacts and accidents still happen. Think of this like a phone case for your iPhone. It is designed to absorb shocks rather than transfer them to the sensitive electronics and camera system inside. Golf clubs and shanked balls move fast. The case is cheap insurance on a $1,600 unit. The precision fit leaves all cameras, sensors, ports, and the display fully unobstructed, and it works with the OEM tripod or our leveling base and replacement stand. Care note: avoid storing in a closed vehicle in summer heat.
