never seen it but i'm lookin at ordering one asap. I'm headed to Key West to go diving next week. All I have is an underwater case for a CanonPowershot S1...and i have the doggone S2 which doesn't fit. I'm a little hesitant to take my D50 underwater but I guess I'll put that good ol Circuit City warranty to the test.

Guaranteed to 15' deep? What's the guarantee? If it leaks do you just get another case or do they stand good for camera repairs and/or replacement too? You might want to check on that before you plunk down your $120...

That's the lawyer coming out and misleading folk. Their defense will always be: well we guarantee this to 15' when used properly...now can you prove to us that this was being used properly when it began to leak? It's just like that "guaranteed low car price or we'll give you the car" deal. I hate that people can get away with that kind of stuff...or do i hate that people are foolish enough to fall for it? I'll be making my purchase with the expectation of them not covering anything when it comes time for it...i've found that out the hard way multiple times with extended warranties that the seller swears "covers anything you can possibly do to the camera...that's why it's called the extended warranty"

I read on the site that you are to do a bubble test before using it everytime.
I guess that is how they would get out of it if it did leak.
HTHs
Hey Kamari let me know how it works. I am seriously looking at it just cause of the rain. And it would come in handy since we live so close to the beach :D

in the size guid it suggests "compact" size for a D200 and "SLR" for a D50?

and then a few lines below it says "Sorry no fit" for D200

I'm not sure I would trust their sizing guide based on that.
