Was looking around and couldn't find anyone using one of these, so I thought I'd share.

Waterproof pouch for your phone, and most smart phones these days have at least a decent camera. The results, obviously, aren't amazing... But they're pretty impressive for the cost!
Here's some video I took of Carabosse. I made a joke about setting it to Down With The Sickness, as that was the least mermaid-y song I could think of. She said, "Do it."

This was shot with my Nexus 5 inside the FRiEQ bag.

Hey Nightscale, You really can't beat the $10 price for that thing, and it looks like the case & phone would still fit in your pocket.

I also thought this might be a good place to mention an ultra-cheap underwater camera for kids I came across

At this price you can afford to let the merlings play at taking their own photos in the pool.

It does, indeed, fit in a pocket. It was actually really weird to get used to swimming around with my phone in my pocket.

Here's another smartphone underwater case

It's supposed to protect against shock too.

I can't find a price or purchase link on that site. I feel like I'm going crazy, am I missing something?

LOL, DryMartPhone is an Italian company. They're above such plebian details as how you actually buy the things :meditation:

They're on sale on Amazon, though

I think people are selling them on eBay too.
