 Waterproof Case -- Big, Bulky, Ugly and LEAKS! September 27, 2008
Texas Speedo (Austin, TX)

Years ago, I used to swim with a Speedo waterproof radio. It was OK, but the sound would cut out because radio waves don't penetrate water very well. Also, it would only last for a month or so and then it or the speakers would fail. Speedo Stopped making it, I guess because of all the complaints. When I saw H2O's case for an iPod Shuffle, I thought that this would be the answer. I already had a shuffle. No radio waves to fade-- just digital music. Fantastic I thought. So I bought a case. First off, the instructions for its use have all kinds of WARNINGS and disclaimers that if the case leaks, H2O is not responsible for the loss of your iPod. The instructions for its use are also complicated requiring a number of steps for proper use... testing, using repeated applications of silicone grease to seal the case -- on and on it goes... Just loading the iPod into the case is a real pain. And then you have to take it out of the case (make sure your hands are dry or you can fry your iPod) to charge it and to load a new play list. What a pain! Then I find that I have to use the H2O headset with it and no other! First, I think this is a real rip to make the device so that you can't use another headset and second, I can't stand the H2O headset. Read the reviews all over the web. They stink. They don't keep the water out of your ears, they look like a head brace, they hurt to wear (the earbuds irritate and grind your ear canals) and to top it off, the sound quality is really really bad. As other HONEST reviewers have stated, the H2O line of headsets suck. Next, I go in the water with this bulky case strapped to my arm, and an orthopedic brace on my head and the 3rd or 4th time I use the thing IT LEAKS and fries my iPod! Man, what a pain. I just want to do my laps with some tunes! Several weeks later, I see this guy at the pool jump into the water with his iPod Shuffle clipped to the back of his goggles WITH NO CASE!!! I go over to his lane, and ask, "Is that Pod waterproof?" He said, "Yeah, it's a Swimman waterproofed iPod Shuffle. It works great." He let me try it out. Just fantastic. Great sound quality, no water drag, easy to use, looks great just like a regular Shuffle. I bought one a couple of months ago. Totally satisfied. I won't use anything else. Further, if you read a review by someone who has not tried a Swimman, then it isn't a good review. They just don't know what they are missing.
 Great product September 24, 2008

This is a great product that works as advertised. I was a bit surprised by the size as it is a tad large compared to the iPod Shuffle itself. While working out the buttons are a bit hard to use with the armband, but nothing insurmountable. I will take a little fumbling in exchange for protecting my investment.
My one disappointment was that the iPod actually has to come out of the case to be charged! This was a huge design flaw in my mind. There are plenty of cables on the market that will charge and sync the shuffle with a standard earphone jack and not the cumbersome base that comes with the iPod. Regardless, though, this product doesn't allow you to use those. Everytime you want to charge or sync you have to break the watertight seal and pull the iPod out.
A better approach would have been to make sure that the headphone adapter has the proper "4-pin" contacts for charging and syncing that the standard 2-pin contacts for stereo headsets. It wouldn't have altered the product size or functionality and would have allowed the unit to stay completely waterproof without having to constantly break the seal to charge and sync.

works great! It's much larger than expected but still a great way to take my tunes kayaking without the ziploc bags...

I swim laps for about an hour a day after work. I have never swum with headphones on before. Sometimes I just like the sound of the water and airbubbles going by, but for those times when I would like some music this case makes swimming sublime.
