There was a time, back in the days of film cameras, when the only ways of getting underwater photos were to buy an expensive waterproof SLR, an expensive waterproof housing for a regular SLR, or a cheap disposable waterproof camera that took horrible shots. Now, all you have to do is buy a housing like the TAT7 iPhone Scuba Case, and start snapping high-res pics – assuming you’ve got the phone to go with it.

The TAT7 iPhone Scuba Case allows iPhone users to take underwater photos down to a depth of 30 meters (100 ft)

The TAT7 is made from clear polycarbonate, and has a hinged opening on the bottom. Double gaskets on that opening help keep the water out once the phone has been slid in, down to a maximum depth of 30 meters (100 ft). Three buttons on the back allow users to access basic touchscreen photo and video controls – if you’re looking for a housing that will let you Tweet from the briny depths, look elsewhere.

It’s available now, for US$84.95.

Undersea iPhone photographers looking for something a little more substantial might want to check out the dual-handled FourPro.

Do not buy this case if you have iOS 5.1 on your iPhone. This case needs the 'double-click' to unlock the camera app (which was on iOS 5.0 and 5.0.1), but has been replaced with a 'slide' unlock.
Also, their contact form also does not function, only tells you: "Sorry, we have encountered some errors here."
In their FAQ they simply tell you to de-activate the sleep mode and move the camera to the postion of the music app. Your battery life will love this (NOT).

Liquipel demonstrated how a adroitness treated with the same nano veneer can be dunked into water and remain completely dry as the water beads off immediately. P2i had examples of two phones with covers removed, one had been treated and one had not.
