Chuck/Ian,
Just to avoid confusion, the random grooves on the inside of
the finger grip look like marks left by a linisher. They do not show when the
grip is mounted - but as I said I am picky!! There is plenty of clearance
between the grip and body of the OM-D-5.
When I mentioned adding a thin piece of rubber I meant between the base of the
OM-D and the handgrip at the screw attachment area to provide extra protection
from marking.

Hi Chuck,

As John said, battery access.
Other neat bits, the bar for strap attachment on the bottom
that also includes space for the strap buckle.
I could be wrong but the groove's look like they will
fit my tripods quick release slot. Also notice the tripod
mount hole on the left end, the left end can also be
removed by undoing two screws.
Also as John mentioned, the dimbles on the inside of the
grip I suspect are suppost to maintain a small clearance
but I'd grind them off and cover the surface with something
thin and soft as the Olympus grip has so as not to mark
the OMD.
The more I look at it the more I'm kicking myself for
missing it.
Cheers
