Better than buying a new waterproof camera

My Kodak Playsport waterproof camera was starting to give me problems so I was planning to buy a new underwater camera in the $250-300 range when I saw these housings on Amazon . $15 for two cases will surely beat $250-$300. Since there were so many similar cases on Amazon I bought both this Yosh case and the Joto case which cost me an extra buck. Aside from the different style of latches on the two cases, everything else was identical. I found the clasps on this yosh case to be easier to remove when you need to reach for your phone, but they're still secure enough that you never have to worry about accidentally unlocking them. We used them last week while on vacation in Kauai. I have an iPhone 6 and she has a 5s. Both phones are a perfect match and the touchscreens work flawlessly. I was amazed that I could still hear her calls decently enough through the plastic and she could hear me. The audio in the video was good too - much better than my Playsport which mutes the audio if the mic gets wet. Both cases remained waterproof after 4 days of swimming in the hotel pools and ocean, and we even took our phones out of the cases when not in the water. It's great that we now have to take one less thing with us when we travel. We could even send all of our children's water photos and videos home to grandparents without first downloading them to a computer. Photos and videos can zoom in on their own underwater, and the camera flash blurs photos. The increase happened only twice from countless videos and photos. Overall I am very happy with the cases. I don't expect them to last forever as they are basically heavy duty zipped bags so I'll probably replace them with new ones after 2 or 3 more holidays. I will use the pensioners for my fishing trips as insurance in case I accidentally dip my bag while roaming the reefs.
