Love it!

This provides a great extra level of protection for your GoPro and fit my Hero 7 Black like a glove. Love the 3 doors provided that easily snap on and off. Two doors provide waterproof protection and the other allows easy touch screen access. Camera is easy to get in and out of this case. You MUST remove the Hero's factory lense cover to use this case but easy enough to do (check You Tube). Recommend!

Very nice housing, worth the price.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's terrified of getting their expensive GoPro to contact water without a waterproof housing, even though they claim it's waterproof without one. So far, I've had my camera underwater, on kayaks, etc. No problems. I'm looking at the housing as an insurance policy. I feel absolutely confident when I have my camera in it with no worries at all. If you don't need it for diving/underwater, just get it for the peace of mind.

Keeps water out and in!

I used this mainly for snorkeling along the coasts of Cancun, Mexico. It performed as advertised. However, I set up a real problem by washing it off after a salt water swim. I mistakenly flooded the inside, just being thorough. I set it out to dry, which it appeared to do. The next day I got all suited up, and the lens fogged up, despite no fog strips. It seems a bit of water gets trapped betwixt the lens and the mount. You can see it, but there is no way to reach it. With another swim waiting I resorted to filling the case with water and locking the Hero 5 Black in the flooded case! It worked well, no fog.

GoPro Super Suit vs. Kupton Housing

I purchased the Kupton underwater housing and the GoPro Super Suit for my Hero 7 Black. I have not yet tested either underwater. THIS IS AN UNSOLICITED COMPARISON AND I DO NOT WORK FOR NOR AM I IN ANYWAY CONNECTED WITH KUPTON OR GOPRO. 1) OUT OF THE BOX: Advantage GoPro. The Kupton came in a small, nondescript cardboard box. The GoPro came in a nicer package that you would expect to see on a store shelf. 2) PRICE: Advantage Kupton. The Kupton housing was roughly $15 cheaper than the GoPro on Amazon, coming in around the $20 price point. 3) BUILD QUALITY: Advantage GoPro. This is a HUGE difference between these two housings. Both plastic housings feel substantial, however, THE HINGE ON TOP OF THE KUPTON THAT LATCHES THE BACK IS A VERY WEAK POINT compared the GoPro. This WILL BREAK and much sooner than later. This could ruin a dive trip. The GoPro latch is very substantial and looks as though it will stand up to the constant opening and closing of the housing. The Kupton will not. 4) USABILITY: Advantage Kupton. You literally have to remove the protective lens from your GoPro in order for it to fit. The Kupton accepts the camera without having to do this. It is not the easiest thing to take off either. OVERALL IMPRESSION: First, DO NOT TRUST EVERY REVIEW. I can see a competitor company purposely skewing reviews to get people to buy a subpar product on Amazon. Now, having purchased both the Kupton and GoPro with my own $$, I would recommend the GoPro Super Suit over the Kupton for one reason: the hinge mechanism. This small metal locking clip has the potential to make or break your scuba/snorkeling trip. Granted, the Hero 7 is waterproof, but you’re shopping for an underwater housing so let’s assume you are going to house your camera regardless. Now, if Kupton were to redesign this latch, they could very well claim to have the best housing simply because you do not have to take your camera apart. Another point too is, if something does happen to your camera, it is almost always better to be using an housing made by GoPro than an aftermarket brand. NOTE: Both the GoPro and the Kupton have small actuating pins that press the on/off and record buttons while your camera is in the housing. I can easily imagine these pins wearing through the rubber buttons on your camera. I may rig something up for mine so this does not happen.

Fits like a glove

The Suit fits the Hero 5 perfectly. You have to remove the lens cover but that is very easy and quick. I like how it comes with three different back doors so accommodate different situations. One back door allows you to keep the go pro in the housing yet still be able to access the back touchscreen capability of the camera. The other two doors are similar except one can be used to glue a floating foam to make the camera float in case you let it go. This will not allow you to see the back screen of the camera. The third door will let you see the back screen of the camera but it will not let you use the touchscreen functionality. I like the easy but secure clamp on the top. It has a button you need to move in order to open the clamp. This prohibits the back door to open accidently be catching on anything you are wearing while under water or any other activity. The lens cover on the housing is made out of glass and it doesn't distort nor shifts colors on the video or pictures. An additional benefit for this housing is that there are multiple after market manufacturers for accessories and filters that fit this housing.

Five Stars

The Best on the Market and the deepest safe dive

Great Housing, Difficult to Attach

If you need the same great protection for your new Hero 5 as you have had with previous GoPro models, this is a definite buy. It is the same materials they have been using for years, and they work great. The housing comes with an open back door and two waterproof ones, which is nice in case an o-ring gets damaged on one of them. Also, compared to GoPro's other accessories, this is one of the most fairly priced, especially for what you're getting. One more thing to keep in mind is that the filter size for this case is different than the Hero 3+ or 4 housings (not sure about older models, but I would assume they are different as well), so if you have filters for those you will need to get new ones. The one thing that I didn't know before purchasing that I wish I did is that you actually have to remove the front glass panel from the Hero 5 before putting it into this case. This isn't a huge issue, but it is hard to get off and feels like you might break it if you're not careful. Also, that little glass panel is quite small and could be lost or damaged easily, so also be careful not to lose it (though they do sell replacements). So to conclude, this case is amazing. If you need better protection for your camera or need to go below 30 feet underwater, you should definitely get this. As long as you're careful with the Hero 5's front glass panel, you should be all set.

Best Option for Motorsports Recording

I have been recording track days for a few years, and the Super Suit (with the full door) is the best option for getting reduced wind noise. I have a targa car and I drive with the targa roof removed; wind noise will utterly dominate the video playback unless great care is taken. The Super Suit cuts the wind and still picks up the nice engine sounds (My camera is mounted to my rear firewall with the mid-engine in the rear; your front-engine car may play back differently). I tried it with the "skeleton" door, and that still lets through way too much wind noise, so I'd recommend the full door. I can't say that I have tried to manipulate the camera much while inside the Super Suit, other than to start/stop recording, which it does perfectly.

It works!

It is easy to use and works as advertised. My only "complaint" is that it is difficult to get the anti-fog inserts to fit in the Super Suit with my GoPro Hero 7 Black. There just isn't quite enough room so I end up squishing them in there and it is a real pain to get the GoPro out again. But, the Suit keeps my GoPro safe and sound. I dive once a week to depths of around 100 feet and haven't had a single issue or drop of water inside of the Super Suit. It is more expensive than the generic versions out there and I have no idea as to their quality. I chose the Super Suit because I figured that it would be easier to get GoPro to resolve a problem IF there was a problem with the Super Suit than if there was a problem with one of the generic versions.

Touch Screen

Great item! The guy who said you can't use your touch screen through it is right but it is not false advertising because the case comes with a back you can use when out of water. I personally don't think I would want a case that lets you use your touch screen that deep underwater. If you want to use this for dry protection and use the touch screen you can switch out the back to one that has a cut out for your screen.
