Worked a treat
For a first timer without experience, this worked great for me. Super sharp photos and videos from my iPhone 16PM. Very ergonomic under water. Couple of niggles:
- the provided laniard is too short
- the provided batteries died on the second day with not enough warning
Battery usage on the phone was no issue for me. Following the manual’s advice of switching to airplane mode and quitting all apps let me do a full day’s diving (3 dives) without opening the enclosure, and still have ample power at the end of the day. But next time, I’ll use a brand new set of batteries for the enclosure every day, unless i’m certain to be able to open the enclosure part way through the day.

Great support!
I had an issue with the housing. The support staff were friendly and very helpful. Got housing back fast and functioning like new!
LOVE the Smart Phone SeaLife Housing Case!
Several Years ago, (first year they were available?!) I purchased the Housing for my wife’s IPhone, since She loved taking pictures while diving; She seldom was able to include herself in the photo nor able to get the nicer shots with an older GoPro. I purchased the case for Her as a present, but ended up using it most of the time after Her seeing what great pics and video I took with it! Less than a year later, I bought a SECOND case so She could still take pics and video of her own (i.e., Both of us with our own while diving! The past few years, I’ve had many opportunities to dive without my wife present, thanks to a “job” 😊 allowing Me to visit several ideal diving locations! On a recent dive, I noticed my case locking knob becoming so loose, I could spin it 360 degrees around the housing with it open, yet the case ALWAYS pressurized fine after the Timeout. I thought this could be tightened, but wanted to confirm by calling Bjorn for assistance He gave me over the phone a few days ago, In fact, I purchased BOTH cases from Bjorn, answering ANY questions I had for the product over the years. Bjorn told me the cap on the knob was merely a cover, easily able to pry off with small screwdriver, displaying the small locking phillips screw. I was easily able to tighten the screw "just enough" to return the locking knob back to it original tightness. Bjorn recommended a small amount of silicone glue over the screw to keep it in place, and minimize any moisture from entering just the locking knob. THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN for your “over the phone service,” Bjorn! I can tell You since owning your fine product, I'm pretty sure my satisfaction using your case has had DOZENS of fellow divers ordering one! In fact, at the Beaches Resort several years ago, one of the Dive Guides CANCELLED his expensive camera order to purchase a SeaLife phone housing at a greatly reduced price, after seeing the excellent pics and video I was able to show him. As a courtesy to fellow divers on guided trips the past few years, I’ve taken Family or Dive Buddy Group pics to airdrop or e-mail to fellow Divers I just met! I wouldn’t be surprised if many of those pics or videos I’ve shared sold several more of this EXCELLENT product! Thank You again, Bjorn! RB

App freezes mid dive
iPhone 16 pro max, app freezes mid dive with no way to reset it until you take the phone out of the housing. Complete waste of money. Latest version of sport diver app and using iOS 16.4
Don’t use the Sealife Ultra
The app keeps freezing, the shutter stops working. Absolutely not fit for purpose. I am on my second Sealife ultra case and it is doing the same thing It has ruined my last three dive trips. I am asking for my money back when I get back to the UK
