Do you have to buy this special underwater case? The case that comes with the GoPro 3+ is not waterproof??

if it came with the clear case, that is in fact the waterproof housing. You will not need to purchase another housing.

I didnt have to buy this case, i just needed another after my other case exploded after being dropped at 50mph. This one happened to be the most cost effective route. The case that comes with the gopro is waterproof BUT I never personally tried it.

No. It's not water proof but it is one of the nicest cases you can buy for them. what your thinking of is a lifeproof case

I bought three cause it was a "good deal" but everyone i talked to said it sounded like i was under water, so i gave them all away. The case i had before was a lifeproof case. it worked fine, but it was expensive.

No its not, you want the protective case. Its a clear case and usually comes with the GoPro

I took my gopro 3+ silver snorkeling and got some great footage, I would deffinate recommend getting the gopro 3+ black edition and the stock waterproof housing on the 3+ works really well.

Well it's waterproof I tested it but you may want to read up on the depths. It's a great case.

Hi Paula, My name is Lonnie. I also bought the camera and waterproof housing. Mine is still good. Try here for a case. http://www.intova.net/ . If you can't find the case contact customer support and I'm sure they can help....

My Hero3+ leaked from the very first time I used it underwater in less than 3 feet of water. Can it be returned? Is there a warranty?

No. You need to buy the gopro hero 3+ standard backdoor kit or the hero3 standard housing.

I love the camera but I have had three and they all have leaked after about a year. With the case I think I can get more time out of the underwater camera. Yes, it will work underwater without the case.. I snorkel once a month. If you snorkel once a year on a vacation it should be fine. It takes beautiful pictures and movies with the case. I am happy with the case. I hope this helps.

Yes, this fits the GoPro Hero 3+ Dive Housing Model: AHDEH-301... (AHDEH-301 is *not* the housing that comes with the GoPro Hero 3+ but instead the accessory housing that costs ~$60)

I use this one, it's not waterproof, the Hydra Series is though :) This is a really nice case, though.

The GoPro comes with the water proof case the POV buoy is just a holder for the camera

Is it correct that the standard housing that comes with the 3+ is waterproof down to 40 meters. You only need to buy the special water proof housing case if you are going deeper than 40 meters?

it cant be trusted as a lifeproof case thats why its so cheap.. it more for accidental wetting .. but if you're like me and wanna go swimming with it and take under water pic/vids , dont .. i went to the beach with mines, came out the ocean and water soaked my phone in the case & now i have to get a new one..
