highly recommended

Reliable

Product is reliable. Tested the product first with paper tissue inside, tried to push and turn all the controls. No leaks. But of course, standard precautions need to be done to make sure that no hair strands or other dirt gets caught in the seal.

Works fine but one annoying thing...

This is the second underwater housing that I have owned from Canon.

The housing is simple to maintain and keeps a good seal. I've had the camera drag through the sand in Monterey without many mishaps. Canon sells weights to get the housing closer to neutral bouyancy that I recommend.

The one annoying thing about the housing is that the diffuser just clips on the lens extension. I find the diffuser comes off at the worst times. My previous housing, WP-DC30, had an actual extension from the housing that the diffuser slid into. If this housing had a similiar method for holding the diffuser, I would give it five stars.

Works as advertised

I bought this case for my A570 for a trip to Kauai, HI. Tested it in my sink at home first and everything seemed OK. I then tried it while snorkeling with my niece, and again in the pool back at the hotel. I couldn't be more pleased with the quality of the pictures, and the camera survived without a drop of water on it. All of the controls on the camera are easily accessible via some clever (and waterproof) mechanical engineering. My only recommendation is not to bother with the long neck strap for snorkeling, since all it does is get in the way and get wet. If you drop the thing it's just going to bob back up to the surface anyway. The only downside is that it about doubles the size of the little camera, so it's a bit inconvenient for taking on hikes, etc. when some rain-proofing might come in handy.

Good accessory for your A570

Well built case with accessible controls, even with 5mm gloves.
Make sure you follow the directions when preparing for dive and keep the lense clean.

works great, satisfied with it

I too have only subjected this case to snorkeling. I do like that you can access all the controls with the case on, no problems with leakage or fogging. Make sure you rinse it off after use as directed. Yes it is fairly bulky but then, I'd rather be sure my camera is protected than worried that it's going to leak. The pictures it took were outstanding, very surprised at this. It is a little difficult seeing the LCD screen underwater so I used the view finder a lot. If you were going to dive, I'd suggest the weights as it is large and will float! You would have little problem with loosing it as it would come up to the surface before you do LOL
