Ready For Action
Perfect for shooting pics in a pool or the deep sea, ProShot is an underwater iPhone case that turns your device into a go-anywhere photographer. Besides water adventures, now your phone can shoot from the mountains to the air.
ProShot has your memories covered with waterproof, shatterproof cases that protect your phone. You control the camera’s functions through the volume buttons using a free companion app.
Founder Andrew Laird was experiencing major envy of his sister’s action camera—but the recent grad couldn’t justify dishing out for one. So he came up with a (much more affordable) way to utilize the exceptional camera already built into iPhones. Now shooting any adventure—from the shallow end of the pool to the top of a mountain—is easier on you and safer for your phone.

3/16/2017 10:45 AMI was just curious does it have the ability to snap a picture while the video is recording. I love to use that feature but since it relies on the touch screen to snap the pic it also doesn't work under water. I was curious if you were able to incorporate that feature somehow in the buttons also. If not that would be great addition! Thanks

3/16/2017 11:54 AM@Renee You are right that touch screens do not work underwater so you will not be able to snap a picture while recording a video if you are underwater.
Because touch screens do not work underwater we created the ProShotCase app which allows you to get almost full camera functionality with just the volume buttons on the phone. The volume (-) button scrolls through your camera mode and volume (+) takes photos or starts and stops videos. You can download the app for free and test it out!

3/16/2017 11:00 AMWhen I've used waterproof cases before, the phone overheating has been a problem.
On a trip to Miami where I used it for underwater photography as well as just protection, my iphone got so hot that it would shut down after only about 10 minutes. How does your case dissipate heat buildup?

3/16/2017 11:31 AM@Robin I have only had this problem when I leave the case out in direct sunlight for long periods of time. Now I always cover the case with a shirt or towel when I am not using it and have not had any overheating problems since.

3/16/2017 11:18 AMDo you use this case all the time, or just use it when your main activity is taking pictures/videos?

3/16/2017 11:44 AM@Saybra Great question! The ProShot was not designed as an everyday case. We created it so you could capture moments when you are underwater or need above average protection for your phone. ProShot is also compatible with all GoPro mounts which makes it great for taking pictures and videos during any extreme sport!

3/16/2017 11:40 AMI presume that this can be used only on certain models of cellular phones. On what models can this be used?

3/16/2017 12:26 PMWhen using the case for water protection...as in a canoe or boat...can the phone be used without having to remove the iPhone from the case? Can you hear it ring or the caller speaking while it's in your case?

3/16/2017 12:32 PM@Bill With the touchscreen lid you can hear the phone ring and use the phone as normal. The volume is muffled slightly but it is definitely still usable for phone calls.
