I don't like using a Go Pro simply b/c I don't want the hassle of transferring over clips, downloading photos to a different site, etc. Having the photos/videos directly on my iPhone after my dives is so convenient for texting, uploading to social, whatever I need to do. This case was fully functional via touch screen at 40 feet depth. Makes my life so much easier when documenting dives with my family and with our scuba club. Love it, highly recommend. Also - easy to use - just insert your iPhone and you are ready to go. This was the best price I found available too!
