Anyone know if THIS model has the water-proof bottom? Stippled plastic and not just nylon?

I'm looking into it. Sent email requesting info from NewEgg and TigerDirect. They both sell this item. I'll post answers as I receive them. Apologies for the delay.

I haven't had mine for to long but it appears to be made from some type of light weight nylon. It is water resistant and the tie downs work well. It has a four year warranty.

No, this model is water resistant, I think that you are looking for a waterproof product.

I think the model I have is plastic parts. I have had no problems with it as yet ( a few months ).

Hi. I've used this at outdoor plays and at the beach. I have never submerged it in water as the interior frame is metal or aluminum, but I've gotten it wet and spilled soda on it with no problems hosing it off. I just make sure to dry it out right after rinsing so the metal won't rust.

The outside is canvas so it is water repellent to a point. The inside liner is nylon on the outside and a soft clothe on the inside. Throwing it in a lake or being stuck outside more than 10 minutes in a down pour could allow water in. I never trust anything that says water proof so I always bring individual plastic bags for camera, lens etc. if there is any chance of moisture. It also helps to bring a small soft towel. Have not been in any rain or water rides with this.Still, for the price it is an awesome bag.

It's all plastic but I would not put it under water. I don't know how water resistant it is. Does not say anywhere on the instruction that you can or can not use it. It works like magic out of the water.

Jane, the answer is no, there are not any plastic parts which make contact with the water. Also, the unit is great and is value for dollar. I highly recommend.

Yes, we have had ours for a couple of years and have used it at the beach/pool and it has been submersed tons of times.

I am not familiar with that model, but I was not very happy with the photos taken while in the bag. It did protect from water but picture quality was not good taken through this.

The bottom is pure metal while the sides, back and facing are of a hard durable plastic. Unless you plan on dropping it or throwing it around alot you then should have nothing to worry about. It's very durable.

It has aluminum case on top, but I am not sure about bottom. I would say it is probably plastic.

Not that I've seen... and as a matter of fact I left it out in the rain and I can't figure out how to get the water out of the bottom. I would still recommend this one..it didn't take my son long at all to figure out he couldn't pull up on it...I kind of think even with sand..they'd still tip over with a cart. I buy everybody's kid this for their 1st bday because I love it so much.

It's coated 70D rip-stop nylon. Light weight and virtually impossible to get water logged.

Yes, water resistant. It has a vinyl type bottom and also the zippers have a small fabric flap on the inside. Works very well in most any environment, no problems and I'd recommend it. I didn't see any need to spray this bag with Scotch Guard Water Repellent as I have done with some others.

I haven't left it out side for extended amounts of time. Its made of nylon fabric, I am not sure it's waterproof.

I've had it in action for nearly two years (have long since thrown the box out, so don't know what the metal is), but it has not rusted one bit, and I really like it. The large size was a plus for me. The outside is metal. The bottom and drain train are gray plastic. I would say it's held up very well so far. Some have complained about spots on the bottom over time, but you just have to get it a wash once in a while, and they're gone.
