Great Housing, SHOULD COME WITH RED FILTER
I purchased this within days of a dive trip to Little Cayman. I will start with what I didn't like. I was pretty miffed that an underwater "KIT" did not come with a red filter DUH. Too late for me to order one before I left, and the lens is configured such that it would be difficult if not impossible to rubber band a square filter atop it. The other big negative I see with this is that there does not appear to be an option to purchase lights to affix to the housing. In shallow water, that is fine, but this housing is rated to 190' and a light accessory option would be nice.What I love about this housing: It is very tight and secure, and extremely easy to use. I took it down to 100' without my iPhone 6 to make sure it remained dry, and it did. I used this housing for 15 dives ranging in depth from 60' - 100'. It is SO easy to use with the watershed app. Very easy to switch from single shot to video, and to playback immediately. I absolutely love this housing. My 4 rating is solely because I'm still miffed that a red filter would not come with an underwater "kit." The images attached are WB corrected. They were blue in hue without the RED FILTER!

Reasonably priced housing for priceless memories!
The media could not be loaded. There is nothing more terrifying than sealing your precious 128GB iPhone 6 with pretty much your whole life on it in this simple case and taking the plunge for the first time, trusting that it will work. Trust me, it does. I first tried this housing in the 5S version and used it in Brazil and Belize for scuba diving, snorkeling, caving etc. I have since upgraded to the iPhone 6 version and it as just as good! I have taken it surfing, swimming with Dolphins and snorkeling with whale sharks in Mexico, kayaking on a bio luminescent bay, snorkeling, jet ski trip, rappelling down waterfalls in the rain forest, caving and spear fishing in Puerto Rico and this summer it's going with me to Thailand for more of the same. Not only does it work but it enables getting unbelievable photos and video of your adventures that were previously unavailable. Sure, there is GoPro, but iPhone photos and videos are so much nicer, clearer and easier to work with, send, upload etc. and why buy a second device entirely when you can use one you already have! See my uploads for just one example from my adventures. The experience was life changing and thanks to this case I have both photos and videos to remember it by!This housing carries a hefty price tag for an iPhone accessory, but it's SO much cheaper than buying a housing for your DSLR camera! It's totally worth it in my opinion. I don't just use it on trips abroad but on trips to the pool with my 3 year old son.There are a couple minor things that I removed a star for. First, the app could be a little better. It works, but you have to make sure your alerts and notifications of any kind are completely turned off because if you get a text or something like that you can't dismiss it without removing the phone from the case. Also, the app really drains battery life quickly while you're using it. Not sure that's really avoidable, but just plan for it. Beyond that I think this is a fabulous and effective housing for an iPhone. I've personally tested it up to 60ft without any issues. It's very easy to put the phone in and take it out, but also remember that your phone has to be naked (no case-but it can have a screen protector on it) to put it in this housing).I highly recommend getting the floating wrist strap in case you lose hold of it in the ocean. Happy adventuring!NOTE: I don't know why the video I uploaded is all pixelated but try to imagine it in full 1080 HD, but because that's what it is!
