Comments about Ikelite 6038.51 UW Video Housing for Sony HDR-CX100, HDR-CX105 & HDR-CX106:
Ikelite housing is really good, it's better than other housings within the same price range
* Good handling
* loved the shade for the LCD screen
* Buttons are easily accessible with a good grip
* Really loved the lens button
The only down side is that the buoyancy is negative " it means if you leave it, it will go down"
But overall it's a good housing
