Waterproof pouch/case for GR II?

[sjmcdonough]

Does anyone have a recommendation for a small, relatively inexpensive waterproof case for a GR II? Any experience using one?

Thanks,
Scott

I always keep a dry bag in my backpack so if I need to worry about water, I can just throw the existing case (whatever you use) inside of it. It doesn't take up any space when empty. I have found that fumbling with a waterproof case when it isn't necessary is a pain. It is akin to rain gear for your camera gear. I have a dry bag which is 1Litre, but I cannot find the link. Here is a general link: https://www.rei.com/product/752522/sea-to-summit-lightweight-dry-sack-4l Alternatively, a 1 gal. freezer ziplock works just as well.

Thanks for the recommendation. That wasn't really what I had in mind, though. I guess I should clarify.

I've been going to a lot of swimming holes around Oregon with my daughter and would like to get some photos of her while we're in the water. Unfortunately, I only brought my GR II, so some sort of cheap small plastic pouch with a glass lens port would be ideal. But the sellers are rather vague on sizing...

Ahh...yes! I have been searching for something similar myself. It's such a weird size camera that nothing seems quite right. I hope someone chimes in here to offer up something workable.

I'll give this thread a bump as im interested in a waterproof case for GR as well.

Online I saw someone who claimed to have used this:

With some success, but the sizing seems odd to me (it claims to be a "DSLR bag"). Also, 50 USD for a glorified zip-loc bag seems rather excessive.

Pelican 1020 fits the GR/GRII perfectly.

Pelican 1020 fits the GR/GRII perfectly.

How does one take pictures with the camera in that?
