Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:

I tested it twice, under sea water, and both times it failed, when only 10cm to 1m below water line.

Water entered the case and the camera, and I followed every warning in the case manual.

I got lucky, because the camera is still working.

But one can never know, after salt water inside a camera...

Strengths:

Easy access to all functions.
Protects from dust, dirt, rain, etc...(3 stars for this...)

Weaknesses:

It doesn't work even when well above the 3m limit. (1 star for this failure)

Customer Service:

Still waiting for the reply...
