Is there a housing back available that allows for improved sound, or do you just need to use the camera without the waterproof case?

Don't buy the camera will break within 2 months. And it will become a expensive paperweight.

I don't know of any other casing...so using the camera outside the waterproof case is needed to have full audio capability. Usually the vids made in harsh conditions like snow or water sports get a music track laid over the video because there's no real time audio. Be creative. PB

You'll be able to use the rear camera - I've taken pictures and it works fine. I've even been able to make calls without taking my phone out of the case. I can take my phone with me when I go hiking and not worry about dropping it while taking pictures.

I been asking the same question. I have not heard back as of yet. I am sure the case cold be purchased outside or replaced. So far we use the case only when we are going to use the camera.

I bought the black camera which is not a case. I don't really understand your question

I used a tooth pick and pushed the little plastic covering away from the speaker but that kinda defeats the purpose of it being waterproof lol. Besides that I just used speaker phone when I could.

It comes with a waterproof case like the GoPro, but I've never used the case. I'm using it without the case, hanging upside down from my semi windshield as a dash cam. It doesn't work well at night, but if there is any ambient light left, it does okay. Runs continuously and no problems so far.

Yes but I woukd spend the extra money and get an external filter so you can take it off without opening the case. We use it for diving and cant take pictures when on the surface or in shallow water.

I find the sound volume better with this case on. Without the case the glass back is so smooth it is basically unheard. With the case on, the speaker is lifted and can be heard much better.

There's a port you can get, or plug into an ext cable from the back, or get a Bluetooth dongle. I ended up using a full size unit that opens up and you put the phone inside the waterproof compartment.

It works great with the underwater case. I've used it many times and have loved it. The only 'minor' annoyance is the little wrist strap has to be removed from the camera when you put it into the waterproof case. That's to be expected. Otherwise, you can use ALL the functions of the camera with it in the case.

It is not strong inside the waterproof case. It comes with a extra door with openings for sound to enter but still not strong. It does have a mic jack that can only be used without the case for better sound quality.But without the case these are very fragile It do

I have had zero issue with rf noise. As for a case I used foam and balsa. The camera has some mounting holes.

there is a waterproof back cover and an open cover for the enclosure. you can use it waterproof with the included back on the case.

The question isn't quite clear enough for me to understand.You can't run any cables through the case and have it remain waterproof.You definitely don't want to remove any screws.If you have a manufacturing defect - you should test it without your camera in in first, to verify if is watertight.

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.

I've used the A620 underwater with the Canon housing, and it was absolutely awesome. It has an underwater setting that helps to filter out the excess blues that you would otherwise get. If you're going to be snorekling, make sure you use the video feature, it takes great underwater movies! Have a great trip!

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
