I have bought two of them from Amazon. Actually, three : one replaced the one that my four-year-old broke.
The first one I bought worked very well, and I’ve had it below 100 feet. When my daughter broke it, Amazon was out of stock with them, so I bought another one. That one did not work as well. I’ve had that one down to 80 feet. Unfortunately, the water pressure pushed the button down, which turns the camera off!
The one that works well: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01DNUZO2M/
The one that works poorly: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B014KCFTB8

And all the sessions are the same: a housing for any session will work with any other.

Don;t want to hijack your thread but the problem I found with my session housing is that I cannot find a red filter that will work with it. Anyone else run into this? Mine is like this https://www.amazon.com/Makit-Underw...ocphy=9011803&hvtargid=pla-451170945286&psc=1

Thanks for the feedback
Having a hard time finding one as well. Found one set that included a housing + filters to $80, significantly higher priced that standard housings with filters. I bought some inexpensive filters and am going to attempt to take them out of the frames and see if they will fit inside the housing. Won't be able to switch while underwater but I don't think that is a big deal.

I had one of those (ebay instead), I had a few drops after 70 feet and then back on land the latch came off. I replaced it with one that looks similar but a more secure looking latch. Haven't tried it yet.
And I've had 0 luck finding a red filter, thinking about just getting some red celo and making my own.
