It costs USD99.95. If you are the outdoor type who may encounter such situations as described above, you should invest in this casing.<\/p>\n<p>BTW, I need to highlight that once the phone is in the casing, the sensitivity of the screen will be affected. In my opinion, it is still ok. My only complain is the reflection. It becomes worse after putting in the casing.<\/p>\n<p>I did not execute the water test but I guess with those O-rings and the lining around the casing, it should be fine. That is it.
