Good for divers; not so much for casual users
This case is meant for serious divers/snorkelers only. Each use of it requires quite a bit of preparation. The instructions recommend removing and greasing the o-ring, then testing the case submerged to the intended depth sans-camera for five minutes to ensure waterproofness prior to every use. There are after-use care instructions as well. Plus, you'll need to buy a new I-ring at least yearly, and buy more of the special grease more often than that. It's also *extremely* bulky.
If you just want a camera to use in the swimming pool or occasional snorkeling trip, a camera that's waterproof out of the box may be a better option. The picture quality will be slightly lower due to lens limitations -- you probably wouldn't want it as your primary camera. Then again, this case costs nearly as
much as a second camera.
If you intend to do a lot of diving with your Stylus 760, though, this may be just what you need. As a casual user, it wasn't what *I* needed.
