Customer Review: Great case! Perfect for capturing video safely at beach & pool
Summary: 5 Stars
Two days before leaving on a Caribbean cruise I was surfing around on Amazon and discovered this case. I quickly read all the reviews and decided it was a must have. My family and I would be spending most of our time in/around the pool, at various beaches, on water slides and snorkling (no scuba) so having a waterproof and sand-proof case was important.
From a purchasing standpoint I called around to local retailers but no one stocked this item so I decided to order from Amazon and pay for 2-day shipping with Saturday delivery. To my suprise I received the item the next day so thanks to Amazon for gettingt it out so quickly!
As for the case - I was already familiar with how to use & care for underwater housings but I felt the included instructions were pretty brief. As noted one spec of sand or a single piece of hair can prevent the case from sealing and destroy your Flip - and that would suck! Provided you take your time and ensure the seal and gasket is perfectly clean you should not have any problems. Others suggested that when you first get your case you should put a piece of tissue paper inside and try submerging in a sink, bathtub, etc to make sure you have no leaks from a manufacturing defect. Thats a great idea since just a few drops of water is enough to ruin your camera.
The case itself seems well constructed and as other reviewers have noted you do have to remove the original strap from your Flip to get the camera to fit inside. This case comes with another locking wrist strap which worked fine even while swimming and going down water slides so no concerns there. I personally kept the Flip in the waterproof cases the entire vacation except for charging the batteries and downloading videos. When recording on land the sound in a little muffled/softer while in the case so if sound quality is that important you might want to take it out. Its also much bulkier in the case so its not going to fit as easily in your pocket. Aside from being waterproof it was comforting to know that my Flip was protected from sand as well while at the beach.
While snorkeling I was very impressed with the quality of the picture and sound. As with any camera, photographing with the light/sun from behind you will illuminate your subjects so it pays to swim around to get the best shot - especially while underwater. While submerged the lens is crystal clear. When you come out of the water you may have a few drops on the lens that will show up in your videos on land so just wipe of blow them off to keep it from distorting the picture.
I had the Flip down to about 8 feet and did not have any issues with the buttons getting depressed as other reviews had reported. I'm not sure I'd take it scuba diving past 25-30' despite being rated for that depth but others have indicated it worked just fine. Overall I'm extremely pleased with this case and wish I had bought one sooner. If your family or friends like water oriented activities this is a great way to safely capture those memories.
