I have seen someone do this and it seemed to work quite well. I don't remember the brand of case they had though.

Anyways, do you mind telling me what type of camera you have, and what lenses you have? Depending on the camera/lens set up there are settings and cheap accessories that can help boost range.]]> Thu, 26 Sep 2013 11:24:39 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=66675&PID=537676&title=iphone-underwater-cases#537676 <![CDATA[iphone underwater cases : They are all sold out.

They are all sold out. I've spent hours of research on the best underwater cases. There are a lot of different options and in almost every case, I can find some reviews of water leakage. I'm still deciding what to get but I'm more and more convinced that this will be a better option than buying a macro lens. However, I can't find anyone that has actually done this and posted pics so I can see the quality. I've seen video clips but the quality appears to be less than idea. I'm surprised no one has done this unless it doesn't work well. Hence, i started this post to see if anyone tried it. ]]> Thu, 26 Sep 2013 10:29:13 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=66675&PID=537673&title=iphone-underwater-cases#537673 <![CDATA[iphone underwater cases : peiji wrote:Indeed. that&#039;s...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=66675&PID=537672&title=iphone-underwater-cases#537672 Author: reefnfeef

I've tested the life proof cover and can attest to the quality. I wouldn't hesitate dunking it into my tank. ]]> Thu, 26 Sep 2013 09:52:44 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=66675&PID=537669&title=iphone-underwater-cases#537669 <![CDATA[iphone underwater cases : Indeed. that&#039;s a good price....]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=66675&PID=537638&title=iphone-underwater-cases#537638 Author: peiji

I've been thinking long about buying an expensive macro lens for my digital camera. I think the cheapest decent lens though, even used, is going to be about $200 and even then, I don't know what kind of pics it can take to reach the corals way in the back. I tried buying extension tubes and really just can't get it to work well. They come out blurry, dark and a very narrow depth of field. I really like how my regular iPhone 5 camera takes pics and captures the lighting for corals close to the glass though. Only problem is, I can't get close enough to most of the corals in my tank. I even bought an awesome macro magnetic lens for $6 but you need to be within an inch of the coral. After reading here about a DIY underwater camera thing, it just occurred to me (i'm a bit slow) that they make underwater cases for iPhones. I've seen them on ebay from $11 to well over $100. Anyone have any experience with these? Especially the cheap ones. It's a big risk to put a very expensive iPhone underwater. I've even seen instructions on how to make a DIY waterproof case out of a condom and glue but that seems a bit too risky for me. 

Anyway, just wondering if anyone's tried it and how it works for them. I just have a nano tank so I could get to almost any section of the tank I think with an iPhone underwater.
