Camera armor and Battery grip...

Would the camera armor fit with the battery grip on the k20d?

While the armor might still allow the battery grip to be attached, I wonder whether the thickness of the silicone jacket might cause a less-than-adequate connection between the grip's electrical contacts and those of the body. The armor may also lack a pass-through port that would accommodate the electrical contacts, requiring a little X-Acto knife surgery. It might be good to contact the body armor's manufacturer to ask about these issues for your K20D.
