Customer Reviews

Don't bother with this unless you're ok with missing shots
Don't bother with the silicon sleeve for extra-protection. I think it was in theory a good accessory, especially for people like me who will likely take it into some rough places, fishing, rafting, snorkelling, etc, but I have missed quite a few good shots when the cover didn't match up with the buttons or left one depressed and I was left trying to figure out why the zoom isn;t working or the shutter won't depress. May work one time and not the next. And while I don't purposefully test the durability of any expensive item, the camera itself is holding up fine to slightly more than "normal" use.

TAKE NOTE PENTAX--- I would much rather see a waterproof case that would allow you to take to deeper depth. I would feel much safer with a water proof camera in a water proof case as reviews for other water proof cases suggested leaking ruined their $400 non-waterproof camera. I couldn't see a little leak as an issue with this camera and Pentax wouldn't be bad-mouthed like Cannon is for ruining hundred dollar cameras when they produce finecky waterproof housing.

Not for the Optio W10
At first glance, you will think that this skin will fit the optio w10 since the camera look very very simliar and its an optio waterproof camera.

Couldnt be farther from the truth. I put this on my Optio W10 (new model released) and it although it slides over well, the button placement is basicaly off...and in some locations such as the shutter button, way off. To top it off, the new W10 has 2.5" screen vs the 2.0" screen of the WP and the WPi so the skin covers part of the LCD screen. Like another user said, the skin is hard to see through and will have to remember which button is what as well. Pentax should put in bold...DOES NOT FIT THE W10 PROPERLY in their add for this product.

Now the concept behind it is fantastic. THe skin does seem like it adds an extra dimension of protection to an already rugged camera. All and All, if you have the W10, I wouldnt really recommend this product.

Not a good fit
I returned this product. This skin does not fit the camera well at all. You have to blindly use the controls, including the shutter and on/off buttons, because they are under the skin and there are no cut outs or visibility of the buttons. The controls on the back of the camera are covered as well. The skin doesn't even math up with the viewing screen on the back. Nice idea, but doesn't fit and it is not at all functional.
