Too small to be useful.

I wish I had read the review above. This product is very very small. Can't be more than 5 grams per silica pouch. This would only be useful for keeping a change purse dry. Too small to be of any use.

Necessary product for the camera, but too expensive

Actually I have a Casio camera and the underwater case and could not find anywhere spare parts (silica) for my case, so I found the Olympus one, which fits well to the Casio case. The only issue is that this is a quite expensive product. It is just...

no fog

 

no fog

While the packets are only supposed to work once I have been able to use the same silica packet over and over and haven't had any fogging trouble yet. I haven't tried the housing without the silica yet, but for a dollar or whatever these cost it seems...
