will underwater work with new FLIP MINO? has anyone tried the underwater case with the new flip mino?

Flip has no plans to make an underwater case for the Mino? That seems like bad foresight.

Flip's website says in bold that it is not compatible with the mino. bummer.

Found this the other day, in case anyone is still wondering if the Flip MinoHD will work with the Flip Ultra II case...http://www.flickr.com/photos/charlestrippy/sets/72157618986726615/

Website says no. I wonder if that is the reason people had the case fail underwater.

I haven't tried that with my case yet. But I think you should do the water test before you take it into the pool.

I used it with the underwater case and the case is great. I had the camera set to Auto ISO and when snorkeling and pointing the camera down in shallow spots, the camera set the ISO to very high numbers. The good thing is it let me capture moving things but unfortunately that led to grainy photos. I guess it's better to at least have gotten no blurring. I had to adjust black levels up a lot to get nice photos underwater. Video came out good underwater except for the fact that you can hear the lens zooming and that is annoying. Can't believe they overlooked that and of course it isn't mentioned in their literature. I used it with the underwater case and the case is great.

I'm not sure I'd trust this case for extended submersion. It was great against splashes and in my pocket at the beach wading in waist-deep water, but it definitely has a budget feel to it. I'd look at more substantial solutions if you expect your device to be underwater for any prolonged period of time or at any significant depth.

We have not had any problems so far. Went scuba diving in Fiji for a month and pictures came out great. This is a nice case that delivers well and has not been challenging to maintain or use. We never missed a shot we wanted to get.

I've been using it with my iPhone 5s, case and all and it still works perfectly while doing underwater selfies lol

Yes to all of the above. I took mine on a river float and did all of the above and listen to my music. I love this case! No water leaked in at all. It's very reliable. I did do a test with a folded napkin inside and submerged it in water to just test it and make sure it wasn't a defective one before I submerged my phone in water with it. For the price, you can't beat it!

I have the knock off case, not the original Lifeproof one. But it fits nicely inside the Lifejacket Float with not problems at all what soever. I bought this float jacket because I do Stand Up Paddling and I wanted to make sure if I was to fall off the board and lose my phone that I would not have to dive all the way down to the bottom to get it. I am not a strong swimmer so being from South Lake Tahoe the depths can get pretty deep with the lake being so clear you don't know realize that it can be a good ten to 15 feet below you. I hope this helped you on your decision. And yes it does float and yes you can use it with the other brand case, so long as it is similar to the Lifeproof design.

Sorry, I don't have the flip case to know but I have the Zerolemon extended battery that makes the phone twice as thick as normal and it barely fits.

Hi,Thank you for your question. Yes, videos and pictures can be taken underwater with this case.

It works great with the underwater case. I've used it many times and have loved it. The only 'minor' annoyance is the little wrist strap has to be removed from the camera when you put it into the waterproof case. That's to be expected. Otherwise, you can use ALL the functions of the camera with it in the case.

I do not have that specific case but i do have a leather flip case for my iPad Air. I have put it on with the flip case but it was not a great fit. I use a thin rubber case and it works great with it. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CW1NBXI/ref=oh_details_o07_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1)

No, please do not try to use the case underwater. The package says you can, please do not. I followed the instructions precisely and tested it prior to use. The case leaked when it went under water in a 4 foot pool for 5 minutes. My ipod was destroyed.

Yes, with the original LifeProof case that we purchased from Verizon. We even took it to Hawaii and my son shot some underwater pics. You would not be able to listen to music because the volume is lowered with the case on. In order to hear the music louder, you have to open the tab on the bottom, which of course would not make it water tight.

It appears that the mino HD is a newer, upgraded version of the ultra Hd. Originally the mino did not have the sound quality or storage capacity of the ultra. I am rather confused by this apparent upgrade, because the flip was supposedly out of production and all warranties were supposed to cease as of 2013. I would go online and check the reviews. I have had my flip now for 2 years, we recently changed batteries. My daughter uses it daily for her you tube videos and loves it.

I wouldn't trust it as a waterproof case just based on the appearance and quality of the material it is made of. However, I did not try it underwater to find out. Terribly cheap case!!

Yes you can. My wife and I took almost all the pictures from our honeymoon with our phones in the case. We did not take any underwater pictures though. We used mainly to protect our phones just in case they got wet
