[3.235 lb] I purchased this last month before I several underwater trips. This housing is incredibly well made and is solid. I debated between sea frogs and this product and Ikelites construction is meant for serious usage. The only feature you can’t utilize while underwater is the flash release. I spent about 2 weeks playing with the housing in the pool and on land before I headed on vacation. I recommend you do the same as the controls are there but have a different feel. I also realized it was hard to hold so I added an Ikelite grip and highly recommend it. This allows a good firm grip while Scuba diving or Snorkeling and also provides an attachment point.

[3.235 lb] This housing fits the TG6 like a glove and gets the job done without adding more bulk to my gear! There's not much more could I ask for.

[3.235 lb] The buttons, wheels and levers seem a bit much when you take it out of the box. BUT when you load your camera and lens (D780 Nikon for me) the buttons, wheels and levers are all intuitive and right where they're supposed to be. A couple of the levers or triggers are used for the shutter, AF, etc. BUT they are also pretty intuitive for diving.


Two things I suggest that they should just sell with the kit.
1) the vacuum pump should come standard. The peace of mind it gives is worth every penny.


2) you're going to need the optional weight arm. This rig with an extension and the large dome is not a little buoyant it is very buoyant. I added the weight holder arm with 2lbs for fresh water and get a great natural buoyancy.

[3.235 lb] I bought this case shortly before Covid stroke in anticipation of doing some snorkeling. Unfortunately the case was collecting dust for the few years thereafter - but finally I was able to use it!


1. Inserting the camera is a breeze. Unlike other cases it is extremely easy to insert the camera - which is great!
2. I didn't ever expereience fog in the case as I have seen it in other cases before. Highly appreciated!
3. The case is really sturdy and well built! I never had problems pushing the buttons I was trying to hit!
4. The case really allows the full extent of the lens which makes it work the full range - which is awesome! (well - if the water is clear, the sun is bright and you can hold steady that is)
5. Sunglare and reflections as I have seen it on other cases didn't happen. The case is really great in making the camera and the screen content easily visible even when snorkling and when the sun is at its brightest!
6. Very easy to clean.


On the downside:
A. The case is definitely a bit bulkier than the others I had before.
B. Be careful with the strap. After using it the third (!!) time I noticed that the rubber was showing some weakness (and you do not want to have the case falling - I do have my doubts that that would be good). As the case is technically already 2 years old I think I am beyond my warranty and have to buy new ones. But: Be careful!


All in all: In my experience the Sony RX100 series (used the II, III, and IV before already for underater photography) is super awesome for underwater photography as it is super fast on, focuses super fast and the pictures are sharp. Together with this case it is an awesome combination!

[White] I accidentally purchased the Fantasea, but returned it in exchange for the Ikelite due to limitations of the camera zoom function. The tray for camera mounting and full range for the camera zoom on the Ikelite make for a good underwater housing. Adding a grip give more to hold onto in the water.

[3.235 lb] I did not experience any issues with this housing fitment with my camera. At nearly half the price of the other two manufacturer's models, I'm happy with my decision. As well, the customer service and technical support at Ikelite is very responsive. Simply being able call to speak with a knowledgable person is almost unheard of in this day and age. I need to give a shout out to B&H, their fulfillment/shipping was stellar. I received my product next day.

[White] The housing is great which I expected but what I did not expect is how helpful and attentive the customer support is!

[3.235 lb] Matches the controls for my OM-5 perfectly. Excellent build quality, water tight, and easy to handle. Great clarity for rearview, and all the features needed for great photos and video underwater.

[White] I bought the ikelite house obviously to take underwater shots for the beach. nothing to complain about here. Just make sure you slap in a full battery so you don't have to stop and swap it mid swim. It has a slightly positive boyency, not crazy you probably won't notice it. All the controls are accessible tho it might be hard to see the monitor under intense sunlight at the beach.

[White] I own the TG-5 and TG-6, this is a great housing for the five but the 6 does not fit at all. The body is too wide, and removing the strap attachment doesn't help. Do not buy for the TG-6
