The silicone case fits perfectly, offering excellent protection against minor bumps and scratches without adding significant bulk. The screen and lens protectors are a lifesaver, resisting fingerprints and minor scratches effectively. I tested the adhesive strength of the pads—they held up well even during some more rugged activities. The replacement battery side door functions as advertised, allowing convenient charging. However, it’s crucial to note that the manufacturer explicitly states this door isn’t waterproof – a significant limitation. During testing, I did notice some dust accumulation around the side door after extended use in dusty environments. The lanyard provides a reassuring level of security, although it’s not overly robust, so avoid using it for extreme activities where it may experience excessive stress.

I subjected the case and its included accessories to various real-world scenarios – from hiking to casual everyday use – and it performed admirably. The silicone case did a good job in absorbing minor shocks, and the screen and lens protectors remained largely unscathed despite a few near misses. The lens caps were easy to attach and remove, adding an extra layer of protection when the GoPro wasn’t in use.

Pros:

  • Excellent fit and protection for GoPro Hero 13.
  • Comprehensive accessory kit including screen and lens protectors.
  • Convenient open-side design for charging.
  • Effective protection against scratches and minor impacts.
  • Lanyard provides added security.

Cons:

  • Replacement side door is not waterproof.
  • Some dust accumulation possible around the side door.
  • Lanyard is not exceptionally durable for extreme activities.

Overall, the GOPRO13 CASE SET (A0270021) is a worthwhile investment for GoPro Hero 13 owners seeking comprehensive protection and added convenience. While the non-waterproof side door is a limitation, the numerous benefits – the excellent fit, screen and lens protection, and the added security – outweigh this drawback for most users. I would highly recommend this kit to anyone looking to extend the life and usability of their GoPro Hero 13.
