Great design
So i bought a cheap one and I bought the go pro one. I dont use them for diving i use them for paintball but i wanted to protect the go pro. Well the go pro one and off brand are pretty similar but I did not the go pro brand one is built alot better, heavier, and a tighter design. Down side when talking with the case on I noticed that the voice is very muffled. I mean its a diving case so maybe ita because its supposed to be air tight. I just wanted to put my input on here incase someone like me wanted it for somthing other then diving. Over all im happy with it.

Go pro hero 8 housing
I recently bought a gopro Hero 8 and I wanted to buy something that would protect my camera. Now I really feel like my camera is protected. It brings a skeleton backdoor for access to touch screen which is the one I have on the pic the other door is for underwater. Looks very durable. Happy with my purchase.

Fits like a glove...
I ordered this dive housing for my new GoPro 8 Black + PolarPro Divemaster Filter Kit. I am more than happy...
This new "protective housing" seems as well made as my previous 3+ Black dive housing; the latch/locking mechanism is robust, simpler to open/close than its predecessor and feels a tad lighter.
I had to chase several times to ensure that my UK delivery was truly "international expedited" via Global UPS from the USA but to be fair Amazon.com delivered my order in 3 days! Impressive...

Very well built water tight case
This case is very well built compared to other cheaper cases. When closed, it as a very tight seal which I really liked. The black plastic clamp puts very strong force which holds the cover tightly closed. As the Hero 8 lens isn't replaceable, you'll need this case to protect it. I think every Hero 8 owner should use this case for peace of mind. The image quality doesn't diminish with the cover on. If you've invested so much money in the Hero 8, you should also invest a little more in this case to protect the camera.

Def worth the buy
I was surprised at how much audio it picks up on ATV rides. I definitely would not want to use my GoPro for off roading without the case. Buttons respond as well with or without case. Water spots and mud spots didn't affect video as much as expected. Easy to clean and keeps the camera safe.

Solid Protection For Hero 8 Lens
With the Hero 8 not offering a replaceable lens like its predecessors, I decided I better protect my investment with the GoPro housing. Fit is perfect and it is fairly easy to pop on and off for swapping batteries and MicroSD cards. I used the included skeletonized back which allows use of the touch screen and which I presume is a bit cooler (overheating is a reported issue with this camera though I have had no problem ). The housing does add noticeable bulk and weight, however. This is not an issue if you are mounting the camera on your kayak or bike, but you’ll notice it using a head or wrist strap mount. However, I think the housing is as slim as it can be and still offer solid protection. Recommended.

Works great!
I have taken this housing on several dives as deep as 80 ft and have had no issues. Keeps my Go Pro Hero8 bone dry. Buttons work well. Be sure to clean the camera lens and inside housing with a lint-free cloth prior to using (every time!). Also be sure to have your settings configured ahead of time, because the touch screen doesn't work when the camera is in the housing.

Though not needed with Hero 8, adds a level of comfort in the water
Although the Hero 8 is waterproof up to 33 feet, I bought this to add a certain level of comfort when it came to the water aspects. It's my first GoPro and didn't want to take chances. However, it also adds a level of protection when using on your bike or other vehicles. the Hero 8 doesn't have lens protection or rear screen protection so having this in case you have a mishap on your bike will definitely protect the GoPro from damage. When fully enclosed you only have access to power button and record button. So you need to have your desired shooting mode set OR you can use the open back that is included but you lose protection for the rear screen. All in all very happy with this purchase and delivery from Amazon.

Does exactly what you need for scuba use of GoPro 8
Not a lot needs to be said: This enclosure does exactly what you want, and what they say. Given its depth rating it is surprisingly easy to use and doesn't require a lot of fumbling around with fancy seals and such. We swap batteries and SD cards for every dive so on a multi-tank day we need quick and easy access to the camera. This enclosure delivers that, allowing a swap in just a minute or two. Works great with the 8-specific Polar Pro filters, too. An awesome value for the price.

Question & Answer
Question :
What dive fiter will work for this product?
Answer :
I just got back from using this housing on my Hero 8 with a DiveMaster Filter on the Great Barrier Reef. I have the three filter kit and have used the snorkeling and scuba filter (Red) in the kit. Both worked well, fit the case, and due to the ability to tighten it in the case, were very secure.
Question :
Does this housing provide any buoyancy? If it doesnt is there a floaty that will wrap around this?
Answer :
This does not provide buoyancy. There is a Floaty for the HERO8 Black at https://www.amazon.com/GoPro-Floaty-HERO8-Black-Accessory/dp/B07WNS3CHS/ref=sr_1_8?crid=3N1S6QXZIXN0P&keywords=gopro+floaty+hero+8&qid=1582641879&sprefix=gopro+floaty%2Caps%2C366&sr=8-8 but this does not work with the Protective Housing on.
Question :
I have tempered glass on the lens and screen. Does this housing fit with those installed?

Yes! No problem

Not specifically, but you can thread a small loop/string that is on many straps through the holes of the mount that attaches to the housing.
