Just returned mine for the following reasons:
Dreadful lens flare/reflection
The protective lens touches the lens on the camera, meaning that if anything hits the protective lens the camera lens is going to suffer.
You can't fix the position of the protective lens in relation to the lens on the camera, so it's pretty normal for the protective lens to be clearly visible at the corners of the frame.
A protective case is almost a necessity for such a camera, but this (from the same manufacturer) is just no good.

Does what it needs to do.

I thought that it was a little pricey, but really, there is no hassle to making your own waterproof case. This is waterproof. It's great for mud too. I find that if I use it on the headband, it sticks out further, and might give you a slightly shaking video. The removable lens is great for UV filters and whatnot, if you cut them out and place them inside. I know people use it for "prop artifact" when filming on prop aircraft. I found that the 720p setting would capture the edge of the waterproof housing just slightly, so keep that in mind. Otherwise, use the 1080p at 127º field of view and it works great!
Too tight for reasonable use.

I can't speak to how watertight the case is. I'm afraid to try it.
I could barely get the camera into the case. The camera binds to the soft plastic sides of the pouch.
Once it's in, don't plan on removing it. It's too tight and no provision was made for camera removal.
There's a nub inside the case that fits into the threaded hole on the back of the camera. That nub goes into the hole, but there's no mechanism to remove it. I had to attach a mounting clip to the pouch and twist hard to get the nub out.
Once you've gotten past the nub problem, the story isn't over.
In order to get the camera out of the case you either get to push on the lens or remove the closure system and peel back the case. It's really bad. The mount for the removable cover scratched the camera body. I was very tempted to cut the case to remove the camera.
After all the stretching and twisting I had to do to recover my camera, I cannot trust that this case has remained water tight. If there were an alternative case, I'd return this one. As it is, I might modify it to use as a splash guard, but that's it.
If you want to work in really wet environments, you'll have to buy the newer model Drift camera that has a hard case.

The great HD170 deserves a hard case!
22 Mar 2012
Hard to get on and off and I highly question the durability exposed in the hot sun and saltwater. ***** Everyone who reads this... PLEASE email or call Drift Innovation (info@driftinnovation.com) and ask that they make a Waterproof HARD case for the HD170. This is the response I got... "Unfortunately there are no plans at current to produce a hard case for the HD170, but we are always reviewing our product offering and take in to full consideration comments from customers and I will pass your suggestion along." IF ENOUGH OF US DEMAND IT, PERHAPS THEY WILL DO IT!!
