What a horseshit excuse: add 6 screws on your backplate, give it a frame with center glass, add a grommet. Give a torque setting for the screws to have a good seal in your instructions. L

Done.

Samsung did this shit years ago in a phone with a replaceable plastic back.

Don't go pros have replaceable batteries too and get used in like the ocean?

Yes, but they have a very sturdy case. The gopro itself (without the case) is not waterproof.

Edit: looks like I haven't kept up with the times (username checks out) and now they ARE waterproof even without the case.

They are if i recall correctly(at least the newer ones) waterproof till about 30ft without the extra case and with it till 150ft or so. But the extra case is very thick and sturdy
