Why did I receive my 'waterproof case' with a large hole on the side where the cables connect to the camera?

if there is a hole in the side, the only thing that I can think of is that that space is intended for one of the buttons to control the camera and it possibly broke in transit or prior to shipment? If it is in fact the waterproof housing that your link which you provided in your question pointed to, there's definitely something wrong.

I would have to say the answer is no. In order to attach the HDMI cord to the camera, you have to open a right side panel which would make using the waterproof case not shut.

It has a camera hole, no access through the case for charger and headphone connection, you have open case for those

a waterproof case is needed, such as one of these Lightweight Underwater Camera Bag suitable for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS25S Waterproof Protection

I am also facing the same issue, I have just purchased it. Was worried if it can damage my camera or I will return its a problem

There are two openings on the top of the case, the left side is for the IR sensor and the other opening is for headphones. See if maybe you case needs to have the piece snapped off (may not have been perforated right)

The one I got just recently (2/14) has the glass glued/caulked onto the front cover itself, but if the cover is removed, there's nothing holding the top cover in place. It's best for me to leave everything sealed. I had an earlier camera setup I put together with with the back cover piece removed temporarily to run my cables. The damn birds tried building a nest inside and made a mess of my stuff.

Looking at the camera, the battery/memory card compartment is not sealed with any kind of gasket. The lens looks the same as my Canon which is not water tight. My answer is no.

I have camera, but it's not fit with the hole, but the person how fix the camera make the hole bigger. I think you should aske the seller for the camera.

The charger area is covered. You have to take it out of the case to charge but the headphone port is open. It is not waterproof but other than that opening it is sealed tightly.

The case allows for full functionality of the camera. There are sealed rubber buttons on the top and back to allow you to manipulate all of the buttons underwater. There is no warranty for your camera, but I believe there is a short warranty for the case itself. I'm not sure... I bought mine years ago. I CAN tell you that I have had no leak problems in those years. I use it several times every summer, and have taken it as deep as 15ft. I take good care of mine. I clean it after every use and store it in the open position so as not to leave a permanent indentation in the seal. Hope that helps. The case allows for full functionality of the camera.

Yes, two cases were shipped with it, one waterproof for underwater films, and one just protecting the whole thing letting recording sounds and voices be possible (not waterproof). A third black box was shipped too, to stow your screen away.

That was my problem with the camera. We took it on a snorkeling trip to Hawaii and didn't exceed the 15 feet limit that Sony said it was waterproof to, and it seeped water into the inside of the camera. Ruined it and when I tried to get Sony to honor it's warranty, they reneged on their warranty. Their service center is a joke. I barely took the camera any deeper than 5 feet.

I bought the Overboard because I'd had a camera ruined when wind swamped my canoe. When I received the Overboard, I put that camera (a couple of months later) into it and ran a sink full of water. I submerged the Overboard and left it there for an hour or so. When I took the camera out of the case at the end of its soak, it was perfectly dry. That doesn't mean it's waterproof, for example, if you took it skin diving. I do think, though, that it would protect your camera from something like an accidental drop in the lake, retrieved fairly quickly.

The case is for depths exceeding the camera's capability. I believe the camera is good to appr. 40 feet.

your gopro is not waterproof without the case. You will need to get a bigger back piece replacement for the case.

I'm guessing they are saying only the camera head is waterproof, but not the rest of the unit.
