We took the kids on holiday, which involved some beach days. This case came in particularly handy on these days for the following reasons: we never had to worry about sand affecting the camera, we managed to take some pretty cool shots safely under the water and some arty looking shots with the waves crashing over me over the water. Using the case can be a bit fiddly, in terms of turning the camera on/off when and making sure the plastic is taut over the lense but it was worth it for the unique pictures that were obtained and keeping the camera safe.
