  • Use your equipment normally in the case as sound and signal pass right through the material.

  • CAUTION! We recommend the case for surface use only. Not for continued submersion



Supplied with:

  • An adjustable belt
  • It comes with our 3-year global warranty (see 'Buy with confidence' below).

    How have you improved this case recently?


    2008 sees us going '100% PVC-Free'. Our new material (TPU) offers a number of advantages:
     
  • It's softer and more malleable. Making it even easier to operate your equipment through the material.
  • It'll perform much better if you want to take it somewhere really cold. It'll still be soft and malleable at -40º and below.
  • It has a greater tensile strength, meaning it's even more difficult to tear or rip apart.

    How big is the case?
    Maximum size of equipment to fit in case:
    Length: 6in/150mm
    Circumference: 6.25in/160mm

    What stops the water getting in?
    The patented Aquaclip® seals the case - with a simple twist of a couple of levers. It's been tested to the toughest international waterproofing standards. If you haven't seen one before, read our quick guide Click on More Details On Link above.

    What our customers say:

    "Thank you again for everything. You have no idea how happy my son will be to go in the water on vacation."
    Phyllis Powell-Hodgkins, USA "I am a sound man for motion pictures and in fact I had used your products in the past on a film for which I was fortunate enough to receive an Academy Award (Oscar) as well as a BAFTA nomination. The film was TITANIC and the Aquapacs were modified to waterproof wireless microphone transmitters. They were one of my secret weapons for getting the sound on that film. Great product."
    Mark Ulano, USA

The Use of Aquapac Cases with Insulin Pumps

Aquapac have commissioned research by Imperial College London into the use of the 154 (Radio Microphone case) and 554 (Connected Electronics case) after receiving a large number of customer enquiries regarding their suitability for use with insulin pumps. Results show that, in some circumstances, insulin flow rate can be reduced by the case. In particular, low flow rates are impeded, and as such Aquapac can make no claim regarding the suitability of these cases with insulin pumps. Use of these cases with insulin pumps is entirely at the discretion of the user. Aquapac has been advised to recommend that users of Aquapac cases with insulin pumps regularly check their blood sugar levels.

The tests were conducted by Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine using a Roche Accu-Check Spirit insulin pump at a temperature of 20C at flow rates of 2U/hr and 10U/hr.

The amounts of insulin delivered over 60 minutes observed were as follows:


2U/hr not in a case - 0.0131g (flow rate of 100%)
2U/hr in Aquapac 150 - 0.0106g (flow rate of 81%)
2U/hr in Aquapac 150 - 0.0056g (2nd test model)(flow rate of 42%)
2U/hr in Aquapac 550 - 0.0121g (flow rate 92%)

10U/hr not in case - 0.0864g (flow rate of 100%)
10U/hr in Aquapac 150 - 0.0878g (flow rate of 100%)
10U/hr in Aquapac 550 - 0.0903g (flow rate of 100%)
