Olympus Stylus 820 housing

[LWB]

Does anybody by chance know if any of the Olympus housing will work with the Stylus 820? I know Olympus didn't make one specifically for the 820, but they did make one for the 1020 (PT-042). The two cameras are almost identical. The dims on the 820 are 3.9x2.1x1.0 and the dims on the 1020 are 3.9x2.2x1.0. The lens extends on both models and is located in the same position. The buttons on the back are also located in the exact same spot. I don't have any experience with any of the Olympus housing, so I don't know if that extra .1 inch/2mm is enough to be a deal breaker. As they don't make this mount any longer, I can't go to the store to give it a test drive. Any help would be appreciated.

Curious if you ever found an answer to this question. I'm also looking for a housing for my Stylus 820.

Unfortunately, no....I also have an Olympus 720 and I ended up finding a housing for that for less then $100. That worked out pretty well for us, though I would have liked to have been able to use the better camera. Anyway, I know Ikelite makes/made a housing for the 820. Good luck, let me know if you find that any of the Olympus housings work for the 820.
