I am purchasing a waterproof now. As I'm sure you wanted to know when you purchased yours, Is this the best one on the marked "overall"??? Thanks, Sco

I did not test other cameras but I have definitely put this one to the test. It is extremely durable. Mine has been thru extreme temperature changes (hot springs in sub zero weather), and has been far deeper than manufacturer recommends (accidentally dove to 72 feet). It has withstood my abuse and works great. Plus it was one of only two last year that you could buy separate lenses for. I've had it almost one year and I am very impressed with it. My only complaint is with battery life (buy extra) not with durability or function.

I bought mine in April last year, It has worked great at the moment, you have to had extremely careful with the seals that protect the battery and the connections ports.

It's a very nice camera, I have it for more than one year and it's almost as new (I have dove with it, I took it to high altitudes - above 4,500 m.a.s.l - and extreme temperatures, and it always works).If I should said about any problem with the camera, is that sometimes when you want to take a fast photo and don't push a little bit to focus, the picture taken is blur (It also happens when I request any stranger to take a photo and he just push the button without focussing).Buy it, you won't regret!

This does look like a newer version than the one we purchased about a year ago. This one seems to add a waterproof, thicker pad. The older version is great; I would imagine this one would be, too!

So far (2 months), it appears to be as advertised. Previous to this I had another waterproof case that leaked thru the power hook up right away. This case is less bulky and sturdier. Hope that helps.

I couldn't tell you that S. James. Wish I could. I bought this for my husbands phone and he likes it. He's the one that wanted the Camo one. It's real nice though. It didn't say anything about it being waterproof though, sorry. K. Glasscock

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....

I had problems with the previous version. I sent it to them for a little problem, and they sent it back saying it water damage. I was pissed considering I live in a desert environment and the watch was in a (dry) drawer for months before I sent it in. I got it from amazon. As much as I want another suunto I just don't want to risk their crappy warranty service. (Their compasses have held up fantasticly for me.)

Not that I am aware. Most of these cases are not going to have a guarantee. As far as I know, these cases, as all others, are rather water resistant not 100% waterproof. There are a few brands, Lifeproof for instance, that you can purchase a guarantee, much the same way as you would purchase the warranty from Apple. I would agree with the other answers in that it is a good case and seals your phone well from water and rain. However, I wouldn't leave it in the case after the case gets wet for fear of moisture getting in. Plus, only a very small amount of moisture can wreck your phone and also voids your warranty. Unfortunately, I know this because of experience. Not that I am aware. Most of these cases are not going to have a guarantee.

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

I think it's not waterproof. I have a 1537 and not the 1539, apperantly both are made with the same material, and YES I RECOMMEND !! Very well made!!

Would I put my cellphone in here or a digital camera? Yes and No...I intentionally submerged it to see how well it would hold up and I managed to get a little water (yes just a few drops here and there..nothing that would be the end of the world really...) in there after submerging it completely and squeezing to try to get the seal to loosen up. Did it pass the test? Yes it held up very well considering I tried to force water into it and if all you are doing is letting this bag float along with you on the surface then you will be fine. So long story short...use an inner bag to protect your expensive electronics if you want to be 100% sure. eg: Mini waterproof cellphone bag. Would I put my cellphone in here or a digital camera?

My cover is surprisingly waterproof. I left it in place all winter with no water penetrating to the finish. No need to remove it a far as I can see. It is only 1 year old and maybe things can change with age but it works better than I anticipated. I always go over the cover with a blower before I remove it to prevent debris from contacting the finish.

Hi J,I own 2 units and would say that are waterproof in rain but not for diving.I really like the Virb.Regards, Scott

Supposedly, but I've been using the case for two and a half months, and I have gotten the "check battery cover" pop-up message informing me that the seal is not intact more times than I can count, despite correct installation and with no provoking incident. I have no faith that the water-resistant seal is maintained with this case, which is why I will be returning it--I think it will be better protected from spills with the original back.

it doesnt compare. At all. I have the "fre" lifeproof and it gives complete protection. I can use it underwater without being nervous about whether it will get water damage. I am not too worried when I drop my phone with a lifeproof. It offers great protection, but its not as slim as this one. Do not buy this one if youre looking for great protection. This one should be bought if you want slight protection with a much smaller feel like you barely recognize there is a case on it.

Mine was authentic.. Did the whole water submerging test.. If it was not authentic i would have returned it to amazon directly.. I bought a lifeproof too.. How did u know that ur lifeproof was counterfeit? I got mine from Ebay

I bought one in June and in 1 test it was waterproof as advertised. I will know more in a few months. I park my bike outside at work in Oregon (i.e. lots of rain coming in the next 8 months). There was 1 big rainstorm this summer. When I came out, my bike was dry. Water was sitting in a puddle on top of the cover, and wasn't dripping through. That was a good sign. I am hoping it will be waterproof as it will be out in the open.

Hmm, I know it has kept me plenty dry, warm, and not sweaty and I have given it plenty of action, including violent swims. The neck gasket does leak a tiny bit, which happened a couple of weeks ago at Kilchis River on the SHORE when I got wave after wave of heavy rain dumped on me for a good half hour. Get one of those LL Bean fleece fishing jumpsuits for $50-60 to wear under it, and a sweatshirt to wear between it and the drysuit if it's cold outside, and you will be fine.
