The black Smart Phone/Device Case from Aqua Box is designed for those intrepid travelers who like to explore in all kinds of environments. This is a hard-shelled, waterproof case (to 19.7') that allows you to take your Smart Phone in the water. It's made with a transparent, replaceable silicone membrane that permits full functionality of the phone.
If you're in the water and accidentally drop the case, don't worry - it floats with the included floating lanyard. Take note of the fact that the use of the unit is not limited to water. At the beach, it will protect your device from that most dangerous of contaminants - sand.
You'll find it's also compatible with a wide variety of phones so if your family uses different phones, you can either exchange them out or buy additional cases. Using it is simple. The interior is accessed by an easy-to-use twist and lock mechanism. For fisherman, skiers, boaters, hikers and anyone else who needs to make sure they have a functional phone wherever they are, this case can provide needed peace of mind at a modest price.

Great product and price !! Unit locks so you know its sealed, not like other products I have had that either zip close or fold over for the seal. The touch pad works good enough to make calls with an iPhone. The back is clear so you could take pictures, although I have not tried it for quality. I live in Hawaii and the shipping was only $6.20 and came in a few days. Ships with a lanyard and floating device.

Pros: Easy to use, great design.
I have used the product once underwater. I was panicky about putting my iPhone 3G underwater. However, this case has flawless waterproofing after hours of submerging my phone +12 feet and under.
Cons: Buttons are hard to press. I had to insert a cotton ball or something to add pressure so the screen would lodge itself more to the "bendy" side of the case. Also, the side "lock" clip seems like it will break in a few months.
Other things you should know:
-I researched underwater cases for a while before buying this one. Good for its price.
-I have since bought an iPhone 4S and it's even smaller in the case than the 3G. I will definitely need to stick extra lodging items to lodge this phone in place.
-Phone&case sink in the water. So, Catch 22: With the yellow floaty you can't take your phone underwater more than a foot BUT with the longer yellow lanyard YOU CAN but if you drop it, then your phone sinks. In the pool, I chose the longer lanyard, and tied it around my wrist.
I wish B&H didn't ask for reviews right away. I wish I could leave a review after a few more months of using this product. But hey, go underwater and take some cool pics. It's pretty fun.

Using it with an iPhone 4, which I already use it for everything, taking pictures/video underwater as well? Amazing idea.
It is pretty good in terms of waterproofing, but once the phone's in the water, the front silicone was pressed against the screen by the water pressure (Not even that deep), makes the button really hard to press.
Audio quality not bad, floating hand strap was great. Give it a 4 overall :-)
