I was offered this protection with purchase of a waterproof camera here on Amazon. Am I to understand correctly that it doesn't cover water damage?

To get the correct answer I would call Smart Guard at 1-877-308-8071 and get the facts.

I've been wearing it as a cover over a down jacket, and my jacket has not been getting wet. I also wore it over a sweatshirt on a cruise ship in Glacier Bay. My camera got too wet to use again, but my sweatshirt stayed dry. I guess I should have used the jacket to cover the camera too.

No, the camera has a water protective cover on it but this is just for possibility of maybe a light rain, not submersable

Hi,As for protection for the camera, yes, as long as you have it all snapped up and covering the camera I would say it would do a good job of protecting from rain. If you were to turn a garden hose on it maybe not so much, there are openings where the two halves meet and where the camera straps have space to exit and flowing water could enter at those places. And keep in mind that this is a leather case and as such exposure to water isn't it's strongest suit. If you think rain/water will be a regular encounter you would be better off with some synthetic material but for the casual, unexpected encounter it is more than adequate.Hope this helps.

Square Trade will insure your camera no matter where you bought it as long as it is a recorded transaction. I had my camera on the boat and it rained nd it leaked into the compartment where I thought it was safe. STrade sent me a check no questions asked after I returned the old one to them.

As long as the lens is damaged in a way specified by the policy (make sure to check for water damage, theft, etc) then it should be covered, along with the rest of the device. If the lens was purchased separately from the camera itself, however, it might not be covered.

It does protect and protects well, however if you have a couple hard drops with the case I would check it for cracks before you put it underwater.... I bought my case solely so I could use my iPhone as an underwater camera an it works great for that

Sure, two cases were shipped with it, one waterproof for underwater films, and one just protecting the whole thing letting recording sounds and voices be possible (not waterproof). A third black box was shipped too, to stow your screen away.

If you want to be sure, buy it from Lifeproof's website....but its $79.99, then $10 for the water protection program.

My understanding is that it is not: however, they do provide the water resistant case. I have not tried it when actually raining and did notice that the camera got hot when it was on. I'd recommend calling them directly if you can get through.

I wouldn't recommend that. I went less than ten feet in water and it ruined the camera. Fortunately I was just within warranty and it was repaired for a small fee but I haven't tried it in water since.

Happy to help. There are various types of products ranging from completely water-tight enclosures made for diving to "raincoats". I'm afraid I can't recommend a specific product but one of these should help. I might also consider putting your camera gear on your homeowners insurance policy just in case.

The covered item did end up in the water, and they did cover it. However, I had to dive in and recover it. If I couldn't recover it, they wouldn't have covered the loss.

This like the majority of others isn't made to be waterproof, the intent is weight savings. They have a rain cover available for that purpose.

There is a seal where the case makes contact with the screen. It is waterproof and shock, but no protection on the screen; so better have apple care or some type of warranty. They sell a screen cover for this case and it is garbage! It's not a bad case just a little pricey.

The camera itself is or appears to me to be fully waterproof in itself and then the case adds further protection but in any sort of heavy or wind driven rain the camera will get wet. That cannot be avoided but was anticipated in the camera design. The main purpose of the box is really to protect the camera from theft.

It is covered for spills & drops. I called Warrantech and they explained that under the ADH(Accidental Damage Handling)policy, just about everything is covered with the exception of the memory card and the pictures on it. He went on to explain that as long as it was not intentional damage, it's covered.
