The camera was dry - underwater photography

Doesn't let water through! Functionality and key layout are good. The left arrow does not converge exactly unless pressed at a slight angle. Good choice for the price. Problems 1) When using a wet lens, the metal used on the filaments looks a bit soft. The on/off function may not stand up to prolonged use. 2) The silicone packing included in the sealing cover kit leaked all over the packing during shipping.

Pros
  • Doping 🔥
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

I use the case regularly but lately the zoom button on the case has stopped working. I contacted and sent photos to the seller who said he would get back to me. However, a week has passed and I have not received any further correspondence, and my case is still broken. I'm an avid underwater photographer and this worries me a lot. This is a great case when it works.

Pros
  • Sturdy build
Cons
  • Nothing here

Efficient Case U/W TG-6

This is a great case for my Olympus TG-6 and is excellent value for money. Worked well, all buttons worked properly. I liked the fact that the fiber optic connections to my flash didn't require an additional item like the Olympus body. The only downside was that opening the case requires enough space when it's on a shelf with two handles for the latch to open. This distance affects the ability to keep your finger close to the trigger. This isn't a big problem as you can loosen the connecting…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Expensive

Works well and looks great

Only used it for a couple of dives so far but I think the case works great. All buttons were easy to use underwater and also worked well. I'm still learning tg6 so take that into account. The max distance I've descended is about 65ft in this case and there are no issues. It's a pity that the vacuum pump is sold separately, but I haven't used it yet. Also remember that the mode dial works in reverse when a mode is selected. Just keep your camera in underwater mode and you don't have to worry…

Pros
  • Everything great!
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

No water leaks

Does its job at a basic level hence 2 stars for that. Ease of use and other features are not up to par. To be honest, I'm also new to the camera, but I expected more from the TG-3 with the Olympus body. It feels like it's fake. The dial for choosing settings is mislabeled so you can't see what you're calling. The buttons are a little awkward to press with gloves on - maybe better than the bagless camera, but not as good as my previous bag. The focus was terrible - not sure I can blame the fall,

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Poor workmanship: camera and photo

The case is not bad, but the controls are not very good. When using the mode dial, the images on the grip match those on the camera. BUT. It works by friction, and rotating the body knob to one side rotates the camera dial in the opposite direction. So if I put it on C1 and switch it to C2 it goes from C1 to A on the camera. And sometimes the body knob doesn't rotate the camera selector at all. Very frustrating. I was going to return it but for me the return postage is 1/3 the cost of housing…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Cheap construction, sloppy feel

Cheap case with VERY BAD aluminum parts. The double-threaded lens mount is an M52 zoom ring lens. The threads in both parts are so terribly cut that they keep getting stuck in each other. Knobs and wheels look very crappy and sloppy. The mode dial on the body doesn't mesh tightly with the camera wheel, giving you plenty of free rotation before the camera mode changes. Very annoying underwater. The vacuum option and humidity sensor are nice touches but not needed as the TG-6 is already a…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Cheaper and smarter alternative to Olympus or Ikelite cases.

Product looks good. Fit and finish are ok. The keys feel smooth and crisp. They seem to hit all the controls just right. I bought a white case so it doesn't get too hot in the sun and it's easier to find the camera if it falls off. Although it can be seen in the reflection from a shiny target, especially in macro shots. >>>>>As of March 8th, 2020 I no longer had it in the water.<<<<<< I can only foresee one problem. sealing ring white. If there are small grains…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Negative gift
