Are you able to take underwater pictures using the front camera, through this case? Or is the material too thick to press the button?

Nope, never used it underwater to take pictures. However, I have had it in very bad wet raining weather and it has held up fine. Your question could probably be answered best my the manufacturer. So far, for what I do with it, hunting in wet climates, works great for the price.EH

Yes I have done many video's/photo's underwater with this case and they have come out clear. However, I have had a few that were blurred, but I believe that was caused by the murky water itself and not the bag.

Yes, but you have to activate the camera before submerge the phone underwater. I boughted this case for my vacation in last august and at this time I'm still using the case, due to you don't have to worry of your phone get wet Anymore. Recomended

It doesn't block the front camera, and the silent button works perfectly. It does, however, add plenty of extra weight to your phone and surely does interfere with the signal coming to it. I loved it for a while but stopped using it because of the extra bulk and decreased reception. It's a good heavy case for the price if you're a member of a bomb squad!

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

no. no case seems to be able do this since the pressure on the screen from the water impairs touch recognition. some cases however make use of the volume button for photography

yes you can use the camera under water. there is a gel filled screen protector that allows you to use your touch screen and your volume buttons can still be used to snap pics as well. i dint dive with it but did climb a waterfall and hang out on a beach during a tropical storm. it took nice pics and vids and kept my iphone dry. i'd contact drisuit to see what depth its rated for if your gonna dive with it. http://www.mydrisuit.com/

I'm not sure I'd trust this case for extended submersion. It was great against splashes and in my pocket at the beach wading in waist-deep water, but it definitely has a budget feel to it. I'd look at more substantial solutions if you expect your device to be underwater for any prolonged period of time or at any significant depth.

i used my just in pool but not underwater. worked good for splashing, personally wouldnt try my phone underwater. i would buy a waterproof camera instead.

Yes. The case doesn't affect photos at all. Flash also operates normally with the case on. You can even take crystal clear photos underwater (just make sure to test case according to the instructions first).

I wouldn't trust it as a waterproof case just based on the appearance and quality of the material it is made of. However, I did not try it underwater to find out. Terribly cheap case!!

I spend a lot of time on the water and did use it for some very basic under water or in the water photos (fishing/beach) but then one day it leaked. Seriously this case should not be used as advertised! if you're going on a trip and want to take some underwater photos I would suggest this first Fujifilm Quick Snap Waterproof 27 exp. 35mm Camera 800 film

The case triples the max depth that you can take the camera. Without the case you can take the camera to about 40 feet underwater. If you add the external case you can take the camera to 120 feet.

There isn't a hole for the buttons, because then it wouldn't be waterproof, but you might be able to press down hard enough on the outside of the case.

I used it with the underwater case and the case is great. I had the camera set to Auto ISO and when snorkeling and pointing the camera down in shallow spots, the camera set the ISO to very high numbers. The good thing is it let me capture moving things but unfortunately that led to grainy photos. I guess it's better to at least have gotten no blurring. I had to adjust black levels up a lot to get nice photos underwater. Video came out good underwater except for the fact that you can hear the lens zooming and that is annoying. Can't believe they overlooked that and of course it isn't mentioned in their literature.

I have not dived deep with it yet. However the waterproof case appears quite capable. I did drop the camera in some deep mud once without the case. I immediately took the battery out and held my breath for a day while it dried out. Water had gotten in pretty deep yet it survived. Either I was lucky or the camera can take a little moisture. I also own the SJ1000 and the two are very similar in their cases, apparent innards, menu system, and mounts. The mounts that come with these are good for nearly any situation but of course this greatly depends on the application for which you will use it. There is no window suction cup so if you intend it for a dash cam you will have to get one separately. If you intend it for a helmet there are straps that should suffice. I mount mine on a bike sometimes and found that the accessories are not designed to wrap handlebars very well, but with all the odd attachments I found a way to make it work. The quality is very good. There is a small bit of grain if the settings are not on full quality. Of course if you expect do any post production image stabilization then that will crop down a bit. Carrying the camera by hand will make for a bumpy, dizzy video, no matter how stable your hand is. I have a monopod which I often attach mine too. Carrying the monopod naturally has a stabilizing effect. If you want an accessory I would recommend a telescoping action cam pole. That way you can extend it out in front of you for those great panoramic selfies, or lift it up above a crowd for a bit of an aerial view.

Hi not used yet, however fixs just right in the case and all buttons work. I've had a marine case for another camera and its been brillant underwater. This was shipped to the UK and received without a problem (I couldnt purchase in the UK, so brought from Amazon overseas).

My samsung galaxy 3s , i could use the touchscreen and button while in the case and while it is outside of the deep water, but when it is inside it was reallt hard to press the button to start the video when i was snorkeling somehow.... so disappointed
