hey everyone since i dont have all that much money to spend on a UW hard case i bought this soft thing that can go to 20meters. im only going to be diving around 5-10 meters but im just wondering if anyone had any experience with these cases.
[ame=http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110426162169&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT]Soft Waterproof under water Digital Camera Case Dry Bag on eBay (end time 19-Sep-09 07:26:16 BST)[/ame]

my camera is a Canon Ixus70
 
It is pretty much designed for snorkelling, not leaving the surface with your camera, as it provides no protection from pressure. I don't think it can go to 20m, if they say it can maybe.....but some hard housings don't go to 20m.

That and it is essentially a plastic bag.....


Having said all that, if they say it will go to 20m, it may I don't know a lot about them, and I have not heard of any issues with these kind of cases as long as you look after it and make sure it is put together correctly. Just a tip, each time you go to use it seal it up without the camera in it to make sure it is all water tight then put the camera in, for $12 why wouldn't you have a go.
