4.0 out of 5 stars hard to use, but worth the work, November 14, 2007

By	Chel Micheline "gingerblue.com" (SW Florida) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

The reason I give this only four stars instead of five is because this case is difficult to get on and off (open and close)

When I ordered this, I assumed it would consist of two hinged parts that snap together and close like the LilyPod, which I had been using up until now. Instead, this H20 model is more of a plastic sleeve which fits tightly over the iPod and seals the water out.

The case consists of two parts- a really a snug rubber pouch (the translucent blue part) and a solid black plastic "core" that the iPod snaps into. The blue cover "slides" up over the black part and the iPod. Because the seal has to be water tight, sliding the rubbery pouch on and off the black base can be very hard. Impossible if your hands are wet. The product comes with a little tiny tube of gel which you have to use to grease the seal every few days, and I don't know what happens when the gel runs out... Bottom line? The pouch is NOT for anyone with Carpal Tunnel or Arthritis.

The access to the iPod controls, though, is awesome. It's been so great to be able to control my iPod in the middle of a swim. So that's a feature that makes this product unique and worth the work. However, there is no access to the "on/off" switch, which means taking the darn case apart after every swim if I wanted to have any battery left the next time I got into the pool.

The good news is that I found out how to out the shuffle to sleep- just pause it. That's it. Next time you get to the pool, press "play" and you're all set to go. No dead battery, same song as last time you swam.

Overall? Worth the work, but I'm not sure if the case will remain a tight fit or what will happen when the gel runs out. Time will tell. My Lilypod lasted YEARS, though, so... we'll see!

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't be scared! It's great!, June 21, 2007

This review is from: Waterproof Housing for Ipod 5G (Electronics)

This product makes me giddy!! I was a little aprehnsive about taking my iPod underwater but after all the research I did here and elsewhere nobody had a bad experience with it. I bought it for swimming laps (leisurly pace) and I thought it might be a little cumbersome but when you're in the water the thing is weightless and even strapped to my arm it doesn't bother me in the least. You MUST buy their headphones seperately, it doesn't come with them and you have to use them or it is not waterproof. I think this is my favorite iPod accessory, besides swimming with it I take it to the spa and in the bathtub!

3.0 out of 5 stars Haven't used it yet because...., February 26, 2008

By	E. Thulin (Jackson, WY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Waited eagerly for the product to arrive. It came on schedule. But the waterproof headphones I bought are not the ones that H2O specifies you must use for watertight integrity. Hey Guys! Don't you think that bit of information is something you should include in the product description? Yeah, I'm irritated.
