I followed all of the "before you use" instructions without a sign of leaking. However, only 10 minutes into my (easy) swim my ipod stopped working and the case was 1/2 full of water! Unless you like drowning your ipod - STAY AWAY!

This case peforms exactly as advertised.  It is very easy to use, the buttons control the ipod perfectly--there is no loss of functionality.  I think it may actually be able to change songs, volume, etc while the Ipod is inside the waterproof case because I am less likely to
"fat finger" the thumbwheel on the ipod.

I certainly haven't had any problems with leaks, either.

The button to release the lock sometimes sticks.

i've been using this product for over two years and haven't had a single problem with it.  Sometimes it's hard to open but I can live with that - better than opening too easily!

I followed all the tests and it leaked on my third swim

Although this product initially worked well, it leaked after very little use and ruined my 16 GB iPod 5th generation beyond repair.  After one month of "testing" the product for leaks, H20 Audio reported their findings that the case did not leak and they could only offer regrets that my 5th Gen iPod was destroyed.  My observation to H2O Audio is that the rubber seal appears to be too flimsy to reliably protect  the iPod from water damage.  They reminded me that the rubber seal must be checked at every use to make sure that it is in place.  Unfortunately, the only way that I was able to discover the misalignment that caused water damage to this expensive iPod, was to hear the audio skip a few times and then completely stop.
