ill be taking it to discovery cove orlando florida, and taking underwater pictures hopefully it will protect my device. does anyone know?

I don't know for sure but I would doubt that it would protect it while taking pictures.
2054473
no. This case is not water proof. It is completely exposed all around. There is a hole for the camera. I would not recommend taking this case underwater.
2054474
the case is only designed to protect the device from some impact, dirt, etc. but the phone itself is proported to be waterproof in some reasonable, time limited situations. best of luck. I am wary of trying it myself.

This device is not waterproof. There are special waterproof containers for cameras, and most scuba shops rent cameras that will work underwater.

Sorry, I've never tried to take pictures under water. If the case isn't scratched, I assume they will be okay.

I would not chance it with that camera. I am using the lanyard with a waterproof submersible camera by Nikon. It is bound to go beneath the surface of the water but simply not sink to the bottom with the camera of which it is intended for which is the waterproof camera. I would not chance it with your camera unless you looking to lose it. It will get ruined in the water if not waterproof if doesn't sink to the bottom of the ocean or lake first. If your camera is waterproof than I would get TWO of the lanyards and connect them to the camera, but first I would check it in a pool or a bathtub to make sure it does not sink to the bottom before you take it out in real life.

Yes, with the protective case which comes supplied. Awesome photos underwater.

Well just took mine snorkeling in Hawaii and have done amazing underwater video! Waterproof over 13 feet deep. Yes it fits the iPhone 5.

As you have no doubt read, it says, "Waterproof submersible, touch screen operable with ~ 100% sensitivity. Keeps your phone sealed against rain, snow, dust, and dirt." I suspect if it was intended for underwater use, they would have advertised it as such and listed a depth rating.

It does protect and protects well, however if you have a couple hard drops with the case I would check it for cracks before you put it underwater.... I bought my case solely so I could use my iPhone as an underwater camera an it works great for that

I bought the Overboard because I'd had a camera ruined when wind swamped my canoe. When I received the Overboard, I put that camera (a couple of months later) into it and ran a sink full of water. I submerged the Overboard and left it there for an hour or so. When I took the camera out of the case at the end of its soak, it was perfectly dry. That doesn't mean it's waterproof, for example, if you took it skin diving. I do think, though, that it would protect your camera from something like an accidental drop in the lake, retrieved fairly quickly.

The camera itself is not waterproof, but its case is. So as long as you have it in its case, then yes it is totally waterproof. Has it gotten wet without its case? Ya I've accidentally splashed it a time or two, if that happens I immediately turn it off and check to make sure I didn't get the internal parts wet. So try not to get water on it when its outside its case. I've taken it free diving in its case to depths deeper than 60 feet and, it can go down about 200 feet.

We bought this case for a 10-week vacation to New Zealand (6 weeks), Fiji, and Tahiti (2 weeks each). We were very impressed with the way it held up until the very end. I used it all the time snorkeling and it protected my camera perfectly. On one of the last days, it leaked and my camera was no longer useable (although the SD card was fine), so I used my phone to take pictures for the last couple days of the trip. I believe the problem was that I had taken my camera in and out of the case so many times, it didn't seal as well. But we were impressed enough that we are are buying another one for this year's snorkeling trip. Ideally, you should test it each time before you go out, which I did not do.

Hi, Thank you for your question. Yes, videos and pictures can be taken underwater with this case.

I haven't used it underwater, but it is plastic. The only thing I would think is its accuracy in that situation for white balancing your shots or video. That would require some testing.

Yes you can. My wife and I took almost all the pictures from our honeymoon with our phones in the case. We did not take any underwater pictures though. We used mainly to protect our phones just in case they got wet

I took mine snorkeling and it worked fine. You have to make sure that the camera is positioned properly, and there is difficulty adjusting the buttons. But I got some great pics with it. Above water, you have to watch out for water drops on the front of the lens case. the camera will try to focus on those.

I have not been able to use the touch screen immersed in water. You can use the volume switches to take photos underwater.

Same issue here. It works if the case isn't in water but doesn't when you submerge it. When I went snorkeling with it, I just started recording before I went in the water with the case.

It sounds good and I actually haven't tried taking pictures under water yet but it's pretty sealed closed so I'm sure it would be okay but I haven't tried it underwater yet.
