The perfect insurance policy to ensure your latches stay put. The GoPro Underwater Camera Housing is a well proven quality product for underwater use. However, at depth, the pressure on the housing causes the latch to loosen slightly. An accidental bump at depth could result in flooding upon ascent as the pressure decreases.

This rubber strap is not your typical rubber band, which is why they cost $0.95 each. They are made of a special EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber material produced by Aero Rubber in Tinley Park, Il. It is designed to resist salt water and UV rays helps keep your latches in place both above and below the surface. The length, thickness, and width of these straps are custom cut for MAKO so we can offer to you some additional piece of mind.

Please note that we have updated our automated ordering system to adjust the shipping charges for these bands. If the bands are ordered in conjunction with other MAKO products, then the bands are shipped without any additional shipping charges.

However, if the bands are ordered separately, the UPS minimum charges would be excessive for the package. In order to remedy this situation, when a customer places an order consisting only of these band(s), we will send them in a padded envelope via USPS with a fixed shipping fee of $3.50.
 
bike inner tunes aren't very elastic. They can stretch well but they don't pull back to original size well. So wouldn't hold it too tight I'd imagine
 
Actually they are quite elastic its just a much stronger pull so it may seem not very stretchy. I use innertube bands a lot for this type of job. So long as they dont hurt the case from being to strong i think it should work great.
