iPod 5 waterproof case for fish photos?
I recently got an iPod 5 from my sister and I want to take pictures of my fish INSIDE my tank. I am wondering if any of you have a waterproof case for your iPod. If you do, please tell me what kind you have, and if it works.

I tried it. It didn't work out too well. The touch pad doesn't work when it's submerged and it was near impossible for me to get the photos to come out clearly.
You would be better off spending $50 to buy an underwater camera

I used 2 in PR underwater while snorkling and my pics came out great. Just hit or miss I guess.
Could always buy a cheap digital and put it in a ziplock

My photos came out good when I used a disposable underwater camera in Cancun but it was kind of hard to actually know what it was taking pictures of and most of them were of feet, a random fish's head, or just black. They came out fine but just not good pictures but about 7-10 turned out well.

Guys.... Making things so complicated jeez. I use this and my phone has been in everything from my tank, the shower, to even the ocean. It's $10 and works like a charm.
