Great for the price
Pros:I adore this case. It's easy to use, on the cheaper/more affordable end (as opposed to the $1700 average you pay for a hard case). The way you seal it is simple and effective. The plastic is extremely hardy, it would take a lot to puncture it. Nothing feels cheap, except for perhaps the little rubber things holding the screws on.Cons:You have to really be careful weighting it. Buy some weights because it's impossible to get all the air out and then it floats which makes it almost impossible to get a good shot. Even with the "glove" it's really hard to focus/press buttons/zoom in/basically use the camera buttons. Prepare for a steep learning curve. I had a 24mm-75mm lens and had to hold the lens pocket flat against the lens or it wouldn't focus/I'd see the end of the black circle. There's a couple small parts that could get easily lost so make sure to be careful of that. The design is a little strange since you have to put your camera in upside down from the opening, which is kind of counter intuitive and several times I put my camera in the wrong way, but I think I can chalk that up to part of the learning curve.Final assessment:It's a great product if you're starting out in underwater photography and don't intend to go too deep or in the ocean at all. It's hardy but I don't think it would really stand up to the kind of beating the ocean would cause. I only shoot in pools though, so I can't say for sure. The price is definitely the best thing about it, and it's nice to have something in between the $150 thing I wouldn't trust my $3k camera in and a $1700-3000 thing I can't possibly afford.Alternate note: Amazon shipped this thing to me two weeks after they said they would and it didn't include the bar necessary to get it to be waterproof. I bought it with a month left until my extremely important photoshoot, thinking I had plenty of time, and it barely showed up three days before the shoot and without an extremely necessary part. When I contacted Amazon they basically said oops, can't do anything about it, so I had to go out of my way to contact the company's only North American dealership (these are made in Germany) and pay $50 to overnight the part. And I'm lucky the company was so understanding. So definitely high marks for them. They made a good product and their customer service is impeccable. Not so much for Amazon. Thankfully Amazon made it up to me later but it was a huge stress and a huge inconvenience.The picture is one I took in a swimming pool using my 5D Mk iii and this case.
