The Keystone ECO MarineCase is a waterproof case specially designed for iPhone 4S/4. It is slim and compact in size. Enclosing the iPhone in the MarineCase allows you to capture non-flash images and video underwater up to 20 feet/6 meters. The clear protective silicon cover of the MarineCase supports full iPhone screen and call functionality. You can playback, email, text data, use apps, and more without leaving the water. It is the ideal protective case for swimmers, skiers, kayakers, white water rafters, snowboarders, boaters, fisherman, or any iPhone users who expose their phones to environments that prone to contact with water. The IP58 certified MarineCase protects the iPhone from snow, rain, dust and sand.

keystone eco marine case
The media could not be loaded. initial testing successful, it works well, photos and video are not disturbed by the plastic of the case. the lanyard is good, it'll keep you from having to dive to the bottom after your iphone. the case fit is snug for iphone 4. I did buy the recommended silicone grease/ plumbers grease to assist in the seal and as I was not about to test the phone w/o taking every precaution I did not test without the silicone grease. ainokea, no like chance em'. case size is a little longer than my otterbox defender, thickness apx. same. ok, that'd be all the good, now for the bad, er eh not so good. The touchscreen seal is super grippy silicone, good for waterproofing, bad for seeing wth is being captured onscreen, its fine in your livingroom, but once in the sun, the glare is tremendous, so you'd be wise to set the brightness to max before going into the sun. and aint access to the sleep standby button, so preset the autolock to engage at 1-3 minutes to save some battery. sound is fine, on video playback while the eco was underwater we could even still make out what the conversation was above the surface. and a soundtest of both the subject and the eco being underwater was successful, but only because I knew the phrase that was being spoken was I able to decode it during playback. eh, its not for making calls while scuba diving, sorry, can text your mom if you like though. that is one thing that was very good, the screen was 75% visibility if both the camera operator and the eco were underwater, reduction in the suns glare was terrific. It also was taking very good shots/video underwater and above, except above the screen was/ is so dificult to view with sun glare that we were constantly taking blurry photos b/c we were forgeting to re-focus by touching the screen, learning curve and thats okay. I'll post a pic and a vid taken while using the eco marine. I will try get to the saltwater test soon and update. previous test was successful in an 8 foot pool. I had zero water intrusion, even though I thought I mighta one time I saw plenty bubbles escaping, but it was the pressure, the air pressure in the case increased when I went to the 8 foot level and caused the little pockets of trapped air around the edge of the seal to evacuate, scaring me a little, but just a little. oh, can I say that I've already sent my phone to Liquipel? maybe I should disclose that my phone will continue to work underwater without the eco marine, b/c its been liquipeled. eh, also though liquipel does not recommend doing this on purpose, its moa of a security/ safety backup. If you wanna have either both the liquipel and the eco marine it'll set you back about the same dinero as a lifecase. lifecase wants 25 bucks for the belt clip accessory, so thats the straw in my situation. Lifecase seems like a good alternative to what I decided but every little addon adds up. it does have a IP68 rating though as the eco marine has a IP58, but the 5/6 difference is for dropping a boulder on it or something, and th 8/8 compares the same and thats the one for extended use at depth in water, but lifecase does say max depth is at 2m/6.6 ft and the eco marine says 20ft. thats a significant difference, I think.

it works, it keeps a phone protected against the water.
This case worked great. I bought it for my son to use with his phone. It worked perfectly if he accidentally dropped it in water. he had a big field study trip to the Hawaii Islands for one of his college studies. he got rained on, tramped through the wet forests, as well as other study trips there. But his phone came through perfectly without any problems.

Good case
good case, I tried it out last summer in the pools I work at. It is great, except when submerged the touch screen is unusable. Be sure to clean over time, I found that the seals break down over time without proper maintenance. It leaked slightly the first time I used it this summer. No serious phone damage, but something to be aware of.

Wise Maitenance
If you value your electronics, it's wise to maintain a watertight seal with a small amount of silicone grease. But this is true with even the most expensive professional underwater camera housings. The fact that I can't get to the volume or power buttons doesn't bother me since my primary purpose for this case is to take pictures/video while snorkeling. I really don't intend to need those buttons. If you do, this isn't the case for you. Also considering I paid $12 for a used one, this was a great deal in my opinion!

Not for still photos underwater!
Videos will work, if you start above water. BUT any water pressure on the screen will prevent still photos from being taken under water.Do not buy, if you wish to take still pictures underwater. Product description should point this out clearly, but does not.

DONT BUY IT!!
I tried to test the product at 2-3 times but the case still leaked. I was unable to use it at the pool which is why I bought it. I am returning it for my money back!

Very Leaky
I received this product and was very excited to try it. I tested it three separate times by placing it in the sink. I let it dry off completely after each test and each time the inside was wet. And not just a little damp, the inside had visible water in it and the item I placed in it had water on it. I'm very disappointed in the "waterproofing" of this product. I'd stay away if you value your electronics.

not for kids
unfortunately, we bought this as a birthday gift for our daughter. within 3 days of underwater use at the pool, the phone died. we had to pay to replace the phone thru the insurance program with our carrier. perhaps if used under very strict guidelines, water would not have leaked in. but i don't think that is realistic to expect from young people.
