This case is supposedly from Italy. The case is a very sturdy plastic that has a gel membrane that covers the screen side of case. It fits most smartphones. The membrane is the only thing that makes me nervous about the case. The case has a great seal around the edges of the case. The top if the case has a lock that keeps the case together. It also came with a lanyard.

I also did a water submerge test for 30 minutes. Nothing leaked. Supposedly it can take quite the fall.

Please let me know if you all have questions or comments about the case or my review.

Edit: The case worked great on my 75 mile bike trip. It survived a rain storm and a fall, but the fall cracked that case. But the phone survived the 7 foot fall. The case is great for water things but not dropping I found out.

Power Button

You can not press power when the phone is in the case, correct?

If not, I don't see how this is any better than a plastic bag.

UPDATE:
Bought the case...

•*I installed ElementalX kernel and enabled DT2W in order to turn the screen on while the phone is in the waterproof housing.
• The touchscreen will not respond when submerged underwater. (I suspected as much.) This is a limitation of the hardware, not a case issue. Case comes with a sleeve that would theoretically allow the stouchscreen to work by providing some space between the screen protector and the screen itself but it seems to damage teh cover itself and might cause it to leak. (my unsubstantiated opinion)
•*Comes in a really bad cardboard box that hails it's material and integrity from the 1960's.
