Any problems with leakage with this product? The case that came with lenses leaks, and I end up with a container of dry lenses. Thanks.

No problems at all with leakage. I have it thrown in my bag in transit or if I'm not using for a while, so it's not always flat and never leaked. I've bought three (3) sets since the first set worked well and continue to work well. And I'll be buying more in future.

Haven't had any problems with leaks so far! These lens cases work fine for me although they are a little flimsy compared with the ones my doctor gave me but they do the job.

All goggles leak from my experience...the only question is when. Or the lenses get all gooey and filmy and therefore are worthless. So there is a dance between which will fail first. I swim everyday so goggles last me only a month or so. The larger aqua sphere goggles leak the fastest as they have more rubber surface to potentially get exposed to the elements and deteriorate. The smaller goggles, as these are are comparable to Speedos and TYRs

I took this during a kayaking trip. I didn't have that problem. The casing is air tight, so there shouldn't be any moisture to cause lens fogging.

I have used the same case for both bottles for years but I find I am now experiencing a lot of eye infections necessitating changing contacts AND cases more often. It certainly gave me cause to wonder if using the same case past a single bottle was the reason for infections but what choice do we have when we can't get them? It's even worse if you buy the solution through Sam's Club. Their bottles are even larger so you use the case that much longer. I wrote Ciba Vision today in the hopes of getting the cases back on the shelf. Hope it works.

I have had no problems with leaks... but I have been pretty mindful of keeping it standing upright. Also, I generally only use the containers for dry items - diced canned fruit is probably the 'wettest' food I have had in them. But, no leaks.Sometimes I've noticed it's a little difficult to screw together (30% of the time). You just have to unscrew, start over and align the threading. It certainly isn't an issue that would keep me from ordering again.Love the container - use it almost everyday for our girls lunch and snacks.

Hello Hoover -- I've yet to try the separate waterproof case. But, I've shot many hours of film and still shots in the stock impact / water resistant case under every imaginable condition: From adventure races to night time and plenty of stupidity. All-in-all, I haven't noticed much, if any distortion or blurring (fish bowl). I know that's often the feedback. The biggest issue I have is forgetting to clear the housing from mud or other debris when shooting. There may be some occasional fish bowl effects on the edges, but it's not enough to be a real issue for me. I also use a Sony a7 for hi-def personal shooting. But, love the results from the Action Cam for fun active shots -- it will be joining me on another Tough Mudder in two weeks.

I've never had a problem & this is the 3rd lumix I've owned...I do keep it in a case as I got dust in the lens(of the 1st one) I was told it's always a good idea even if it's in a slip case.

No problem with rubber seal. I live in a very windy and sandy place and every couple months I have to take it apart to clean behind outside lens. I once broke the belt clip getting out of the car and the service getting it replaced was something out of the 70's. Very friendly fast and free. I would buy another one any time.

No problem with leakage...I mean you will be using a bag in there anyway...

Mine at least does leak. Al though its really cool, that is the only problem I' ve had. I really don't know if that is normal or not, nor how to fix it dew that the product has no refund nor changes.

Go to a good camera store and try out a few different models. I like a case that slides onto my belt, has some padding or cushioning, and a pocket for an extra battery, an extra SD card, and a cleaning kit. If a case is too tight, and the lens accidentally opens inside the case, the lens drive can be damaged. A loose fitting case with padding and cushioning is the safest.

I ALWAYS submerge my goggles (any make) in the body of water I'm about to swim in for about 30secs until they are at that temp then rinse with tap water. Rinse again when I'm done and store in a hard case. They should last and be crystal clear until a strap breaks or eye cushion goes brittle. I NEVER touch my lenses. Even if they are smudged just splash about in some soapy dish water and rinse and hard-case. Last forever until I loan or lose em

I contacted Alcon regarding the length of time you use the "cleaning" case. I was told you could use it for 2 -12 oz. bottles then it should be discarded and replaced. Keep in mind that each bottle should be used within 90 days of opening. And it certainly has extended the life of my lenses and the comfort!

I've had no problem keeping the lens clean with a standard lens brush/cleaner. as for ruggedness...well this is my second WG-2. the first one leaked as soon as I entered the water on St John USVI leaving me without a camera for the whole trip! so I strongly recommend testing your camera in the water BEFORE you take it on that long snorkeling trip...

Without the lens, the case still works pretty well for the iPhone. I keep it on my iPhone all the time, because I find it a bit tight and hard to take off. It's quite sturdy on the back and on the sides, but doesn't offer a lot of protection in the front. Nevertheless, just a few days ago my iPhone fell on its front and I guess the case protected it, because the glass didn't brake or scratch.

Well, anything is possible but ... I have had one of these since 2008 with no leaking (actually 2 units as I sold one because I had 35mm in a new zoom but bought another new unit just a few months later). Note: I use mine on a Nikon D700 full frame and it has become my favorite "wanna-be" light on my feet lens for its length, very light weight, and image quality.

When traveling, I like to store my un-mounted lenses in something water proof. Ewa-marine makes a line of water proof photo cases. Hope this helps.
