I have been wanting this waterproof case ever since I bought my camera, however I thought it was pretty expensive and did not have the funds after the camera purchase. I am going on a cruise with my family soon and wanted to see if the prices had gone down. Of course they had not. When I saw this package deal I was impressed that it was the same price as just the case. I did some research and found this waterproof case to be worth the money. I knew we would be going snorkeling and I wanted good pictures and did not want to take a chance with a disposable camera...This case is simply amazing. The design is great. It does make the camera quite a bit bigger, but no big deal for me. The light diffuser attachment is awesome. I was impressed by the VERY quick delivery! I am happy with my purchase as this case can be used at the beach, camping etc. If you have the camera, you should have this case!

I remember when I was looking for underwater cameras to take on a long Pacific Rim trip. Based on reviews, purchasing a non-underwater camera and a underwater case was the best option. When comparing prices, it turned out that this bundle was about the same price as just the case, so I decided to go for the bundle.

I spent equal time under water and on land during the trip and most of these accessories came in extremely handy.

The case was amazing and although I was nervous the first time I took it underwater, it never let in a drop of water. You could easily use all the buttons of the camera while underwater and more importantly while on a boat both before and after you were swimming.

The tripod is extremely light, though strong enough to set up on a beach to take timed shots when no one else was around.

The mini-tripod is great for when you want to set the camera on a surface to take pics, but the surface is uneven, dirty, etc..

The nylon case was too big and I ended up purchasing a much smaller case for the camera, as well as a separate one for the underwater case.

The extra battery and SD to USB adapter were good extras to have, though everything else was pretty much filler.

This pack is really valued for money and has everything you'll ever need for your Digital IXUS.

I bought this solely for the underwater case and it really was a great purchase. The spare battery was also very handy. I was quite surprise by the quality of the other accessories as the price was just too good for so much of stuff in this pack.

You may want to get more silicon sealant for the underwater case though. Just a small tube that probably last you 10 to 15 uses.

I recommend this to those of you who just bought your IXUS. It's a good pack to have and you'll not be needing anymore other stuff =)

What a bargain. Extremely pleased with whole package. Watertight case is amazing. Didn't realize that sound still records even in case. Took video going down waterslide on cruiseship. Pretty entertaining!!!!

once you buy the casio 870 IS digital camera which is the best point and shoot camera on the market for its price, this kit has everything you need. both tripods are perfect for shooting on the go and in house pictures. the underwater case is awesome because I am going scuba diving on my honeymoon, but you can also use it in adverse weather conditions. the extra battery is always a good buy no matter what you have. there is also knick knack items that you may feel you do not need, but you will find that they are needed more than you imagine. like i said all in all, this is a perfect accessory gift.
