Says that it is waterproof -- is this sufficient to take the phone for underwater pictures while snorkeling in the ocean?

I wouldn't trust it. The speaker membrane gives out randomly, and by the time you find out, your phone is soaked. It was a horrible case and strongly recommended you purchase something different. Trust me.

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.

I would read the spec as I believe it says it can be underwater for so long. I have put my in the pool several times but did not keep it under water for to long.

The phone itself is not waterproof. It is water resistant. This case is not waterproof.

Yes. Camera must be turned on out of the water as the touch screen doesn't work underwater. Also you have to change the settings on your camera to use the volume buttons to take pictures. Would not recommend using this case for taking pictures while scuba diving(not rated for more than 6 feet deep) but for pics at the pool or beach(shallow water) it is perfect. Have had the case since July with no issues, I highly recommend it!

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 really is waterproof! I haven't tried taking it deep underwater yet but so far it has kept my phone dry!

I have had mine for 3 weeks and it has been in the ocean at least a dzoen times for more than an hour each time--both surfing and snorkling. I put my old camera in it and it fit perfect and pictures are awesome. NO leaking so far. BEST 12 dolllars I spent. I do not see many good reviews for waterproof cameras...they seem to brake alot and out of water do not take good pics or vids. Mine works awesome in and out all the time. What a genious invention!!!

It's water proof. But if you are going to use it for your phone you might want to spend more and get one of a better quality. For money, charge card, ID it's just fine. Wouldn't trust it for my phone though.

Yes, it is waterproof. However, it snaps a lot of nothing shots. The battery compartment got a bunch of some type of bugs in it while out in the woods.

It does have a zip-type waterproof section, so I think the phone would be safe, but the bag is a little bit large to use swimming, in my opinion.You can get Dry Pak cases that work much better for that. They have them in different sizes, and they are clear so you can actually use your phone (photos, etc) without taking it out of the Dry Pak.Short answer - yes, it will protect your phone, but it would be a bit clunky swimming with it.Tip - whatever you decide on - put one of those little desiccant packets in the bottom of the pouch to dry up any moisture that might get inside.

No it is not waterproof. Just an awesome case so your phone doesn't break or chip when you drop it.

It doesnt make the phone waterproof. But it isnt designed for that. As for what it is intended to do it is excellent.

Haven't put it in water with phone inside, but when I checked it before using by placing it in water it appeared to be water proof.

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!!

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

You know Im not sure to be honest. I do know for sure. What I do know that by the design if you out it in water with the case on its not sealed enough to stop the water from in between the case and the phone. I just took off the case entirely when I wanted to take underwater pics

No, absolutely not waterproof. There microphone/speaker/camera holes in the back and edges that will let water into the phone. The screen of the phone is not protected by this case at all- you can buy clear screen protectors from another company- but the screen still will not be waterproof. Submerging a phone with this case on it under water will destroy the phone because water will get inside the phone.

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.
