DicaPac–A Splash of Fun

Last Sunday, I was able to test one through a trip to Laiya, Batangas. I just recently bought it because it was on sale and my X10 fit into the transparent space almost perffectly.

I immediately tested it at home with a tissue and thereafter with my phone with phenomenal success but this time was the real challenge for it – open water. DicaPac is a very well known name in the waterproof case industry; in fact I was so confident with the product that I jumped from the boat, phone in hand, the minute the boat came to a halt. The housing uses a very simple ziplock which folds over itself a few times and then closes through a velcro while another velcro covers the whole rolled up system; it is fastened to your person by a sling which goes around the neck by the length of it and it would serve to keep your device, or whatever you put in it, tethered to you.

It wasn’t really a deal breaker because I could just surface and prepare the app and then use the camera button when I want to activate it; Apart from the salinity of the water, the pack also was hugging the device as if there was a vacuum inside and it might have been consistently in contact with the screen (because it kept on bringing up the gallery) and that might have been the reason why I couldn’t use it properly.

So if you’re about to take a trip to the sea, why not go to your local retailer and get yourself one, the retail price doesn’t fall under a thousand but, as Mastercard very well put it, the memories you will be taking with you… priceless!
