Kwik Tek Dry Pak Camera Case (Clear , 6-Inch x 8-Inch x 2-Inch)

I love this dry pak storage case. The size is ideal for my camera or for other electronics like my cell phone. I use it when I'm kayaking, at the amusement park (things end up wet on those rides!), at the beach (protects from sand too), and love it for cosmetics in my suitcase (keeps the moisture IN as well as OUT). It is also useful for storage, keeping dust out of my camera. I own several of these and have given them as gifts to visitors who come unprepared for our Florida water activities. Everyone is impressed. They are indeed clear enough that I can take photos while my camera is still in the bag and the photos turn out perfect. I have used my bags for several months and they continue to be waterproof. I love having a product that does what it claims!

I recently bought this locally for a canoe camping trip. On our 2nd day we got caught in a tree and flipped. Water was moving fairly fast. I had the camera in this bag hooked to my life vest. I went completely under water, then had to guide the upturned canoe full of gear to a nearby gravel bar to dump the water, etc. I remember the thing being tossed around pretty good during this time. As soon as we were under control I even took several pictures. My only gripe is that bag is a little large for our little Nikon S51, but it's still worth it. It can be hard to position it with the bag tight against the lens. Here's an extra tip: I'm glad I had it hooked to my vest and not just around my neck. Although I was wearing a sun hat w/ chin strap (which I didn't lose either), it could've floated up off of me and been lost.

Forget this Erson guy! Takes a non-waterproof camera snorkeling then blames this product when it got destroyed? COME ON MAN! I don't even have one of these yet, but I can EASILY see it was meant for protecting equipment from occasional water drops, not for constantly being in the water moving it around non stop.

I took this on a trip to Hawaii. It worked fine snorkeling at the surface (I did not dive with this thing) for 3 outings into near-shore snorkeling. However, on the third day of use, I found my camera unresponsive. The case had filled with water & ruined a $200 camera.

The manufacturer had told me this was usable to a depth of 15 feet. Well, yes, it is... unless it leaks.

In summary, it's good to protect the camera when near water. It should work (if you are cautious to check it often) for snorkeling. Just be aware that it will likely eventually let you down. For the price, it may be worth trying. Considering the price of cameras, you may want to take the risk with a cheap camera.

Oh, also you need to keep the camera up against the case to get clear shots.

Takes some time getting used to opening and closing the bag, but aside from purchasing a waterproof camera, this is the best way to keep a camera dry in constant spray and splash.
