If you use your iPhone or iPad  :smt044 OTW, you'll want this case.  You can take pictures/video and listen to music underwater.

It looks pretty small compared to one I just bought

I think it's worth $80 if it does all that it claims. On the other hand, the case I bought is only $13, and it does what I need it to do, but I don't have access to the side buttons or the the head phone jack.

You take pictures and shoot video while your phone is in a ziplock bag?  a waterproof bluetooth headset would be dope!

+1 to this case. So far mine has been great and I'm known for killing phones.

Just got one for my birthday. Love it so far but haven't fallen in the drink yet. I did "water test" it as per the instructions, fully submerged for a couple hours, worked perfectly. I got the belt clip/holster as well and couldn't be happier. I'd upload photos but... well, you know :smt044

Just got one. Kind of nervous about trying it. I had used a ziploc a couple of times without issue, but the one time I fought the surf getting out the bag wasn't completely sealed (teeny tiny snap). Got enough moisture to corrode the USB connector terminals. THANK YOU APPLE CARE +.

Had mine since it came out. It's been dropped in the surf once and in my rain soaked pack while fishing many times as well as dropped on the ground and my phone still looks new and works like a champ. Highly recommend it.

     I bought a pre-paid flip phone from Wal-Mart for $30 + $10 worth of time, roll it up in a big ziplock, and can use it without getting it out of the bag.
     It takes pics, does messages, tho I haven't tried to do that while it's in the bag.  I have to go to the Verizon store every month to put another buck on the account or they'll zap the money I've already advanced, I could do it online, but there (was?) a $15 minimum, and I've already got $26 in minutes, which the phone voice told me was good for 1 hour 45 mins when I called Santa Cruz from Pacific Grove yesterday.  That should be long enough for the Coasties to get to me from their wharf.  I  tape a note with the cheapo phone number on the phone so I don't forget it.  Maybe I should add the CG's? Or would 911 do?   
      But I'll discover some way to kill or lose the thing, and probably the I-Phone that I leave at home when I fish.
