Product Description The Flip Video Ultra Underwater Case is designed to let you capture your next underwater adventure or trip to the pool on video. This clear acrylic case protects the Flip Video Ultra Camcorder to depths of 30 feet, while granting full access to the camcorder’s control panel. The case comes with a convenient wrist strap, so you don’t have to worry about losing your camcorder. With the Flip Video Ultra Underwater Case, you’ll truly be able to shoot video almost anywhere. Reviews This is a fine case if you intend to take above the water videos; however, as an underwater case it is nearly impossible to use. The viewing lens is at best difficult to see underwater...in fact, most of the time you'll be seeing the reflection of the sun, or worse, you and your dive mask reflected by the casing. I attempted to use this case while sailing and snorkeling in the carribean during a two week trip and was never able to get any video that was worth viewing. I have a number of high end underwater cameras ( not video) and have captured some awesome stills so I do know what a good underwater camera is capable of doing. This case is definitely not in that category. I was worried about ordering this after reading all the reviews but I decided to take a chance. The case worked really well... No leaks at all!! The picture quality really wasn't affected either! I would tell anyone to take a chance and get this. I did do the tissue test first and then when I put the Flip in the case I left it in throughout the whole trip so I didn't have worry about getting the gasket dirty. I recently used a Flip video with an Aquapac underwater housing in the Sea of Cortez and it worked well though it was a little hard to get to the power switch. I found when editing the video that to compensate for my moving the camera around too much that if I used the "half speed" effect on Windows Movie Maker it made the video much less sickening to watch. Or just hold the camera as still as you can when shooting. It did not fit my Flip Ultra! too small by 1/8". Will take my Flip to a store to check the fit before purchasing another underwater case. This is the best money that we have spent in awhile. Took it to Disney World and had a blast on the water rides and at the Water Parks. Took a lot of abuse and didn't leak even in the slightest. We are a bit nervous about the information on keeping it free of hair, sand etc., so didn't take the cover off while in the Parks. Just a tiny bit dispointed on the volume of the recordings but guess that is to be expected when the unit is completely sealed. All of the feature buttons worked great too. Love this thing.
