How have you improved this case recently?
2008 sees us going '100% PVC-Free'. Our new material (TPU) offers a number of advantages:
- It's softer and more malleable. Making it even easier to operate your PDA or Smartphone controls through the material.
- It'll perform much better if you want to take it somewhere really cold. It'll still be soft and malleable at -40º and below.
- It has a greater tensile strength, meaning it's even more difficult to tear or rip apart.
- We've added optically-clear LENZFLEX windows to the back making the Aquapac cameraphone-friendly.
Supplied with:
- An adjustable belt
- It comes with our five-year global warranty (see 'Buy with confidence' below).

Special Note: the use of Aquapac cases with Insulin Pumps
Aquapac have commissioned research by Imperial College London into the use of the 154 (Radio Microphone case) and 554 (Connected Electronics case) after receiving a large number of customer enquiries regarding their suitability for use with insulin pumps. Results show that, in some circumstances, insulin flow rate can be reduced by the case. In particular, low flow rates are impeded, and as such Aquapac can make no claim regarding the suitability of these cases with insulin pumps. Use of these cases for insulin pumps is entirely at the discretion of the user. Aquapac has been advised to recommend that users of Aquapac cases with insulin pumps regularly check their blood sugar levels.

The tests were conducted by Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine using a Roche Accu-Check Spirit insulin pump at a temperature of 20C at flow rates of 2U/hr and 10U/hr.
The amounts of insulin delivered over 60 minutes observed were as follows:
2U/hr not in case - 0.0131g (flow rate of 100%)
2U/hr in Aquapac 154/insulin-pump - 0.0106g (flow rate of 81%)
2U/hr in Aquapac 154/insulin pump - 0.0056g (2nd test model)(flow rate of 42%)
2U/hr in Aquapac 554 (clamp identically to the Aquapac 154)- 0.0121g (flow rate of 92%)
10U/hr not in case - 0.0864g (flow rate of 100%)
10U/hr in Aquapac 154/insulin pump - 0.0878g (flow rate of 100%)
10U/hr in Aquapac 554/insulin pump - 0.0903g (flow rate of 100%)

What our customers say:
"Thank you again for everything. You have no idea how happy my son will be to go in the water on vacation."
Phyllis Powell-Hodgkins, USA
"To Aquapac. My Name is Susi Koch and I'd like to let you know that your Aquapac cases have been a wonderful find. I have a 6 year old son, Eric, who is an Insulin Dependant Diabetic and wears the insulin pump. We have discovered that your small wire-thru case is the perfect size to hold a small insulin pump. It is so much easier to go to the pool and especially the beach now that we don't have to worry about the pump getting sand and debris in it. The neoprene case is the perfect compliment to the small wire-thru case in that it enables Eric to wear the pump comfortably. I own a small company where I design and sell insulin pump packs for kids and adults. I've added some of your Aquapac cases to my website and I have to say that customers are very excited. Thank You!"

"Last week I was on wellness-vacation. The hotel had a great thermal-pool I used once or twice a day. While I`m using a catheter which cannot be removed, I used the Aquapac. I have to say: it works without any problems. The pump stayed dry. So I don`t have to check the level every time and not to inject the insulin regular.A big thank you!!!"
Britta Goercke, Ludwigshafen
"I am a sound man for motion pictures and in fact I had used your products in the past on a film for which I was fortunate enough to receive an Academy Award (Oscar) as well as a BAFTA nomination. The film was TITANIC and the Aquapacs were modified to waterproof wireless microphone transmitters. They were one of my secret weapons for getting the sound on that film. Great product."
