Customers are satisfied with the Floaty Backdoor's ability to keep their GoPro afloat and its ease of use. Many appreciate its bright color for visibility and the added protection it provides.

Concerns were also raised regarding compatibility with some GoPro models and the obstruction of the LCD screen.

Used in the surf for one week. Still like new after week of tough use. Great to know you won't lose your camera if dropped in deep water. I will always have a floatie.

Floats the GoPro in case it comes off while at lake.I Hope if it comes off I have better luck than last time. No floaty no locate. Bright orange to see it in water.

Got the GoPro to film my adventures. Would be way too easy to drop it in the water so this attachment to let the GoPro float if I drop it is a must investment.

I bought this last minute before taking my GoPro out while fishing on a lake, glad I did though as I happened to drop the GoPro overboard. It floated just like it was supposed to and the red made it easy to find.

I used this while on a cruise. I threw my gopro in the ocean numerous times to make sure it would work. It did. My 7 year had a blast playing with it in the ocean and in the pool. I never worried that he would lose it in the water because it worked great. The only drawback is it's very tough to use it and a chest strap too( or any other holder) so while snorkeling I had to flip the chest connector upside down or I would have had to swap back doors.

The Go-Pro remains a family fun camera for our water, snow and adventure activities. Recently, I purchased another round of items including the Floaty Back Door. This items provides the impact resistance needed for the ski hill and an extra layer of protection on the boat. I have a better chance of finding my pro after a yard sale "wipe out" on the ski hill or a water ski run then not having anything but the plastic case/protective jacket.... I put protection cases on a mobile phone, why not on your expensive Go-Pro

This little thing gave great piece of mind while snorkeling. I would have been devastated if the camera dropped to the bottom of the ocean. We were also kayaking so that would have been another thing to stress over...rolling and having the camera sink. The only downside is you can't see what you're shooting because the back of the screen is blocked by this floaty.

I wakeskate, kayak, and ride my jetskis, so it was natural that I needed something in case my gopro were to hit the water. It floats and is easily visible in the water. Disclaimer: It can't float with a heavy selfie-stick attached, I made that mistake and luckily was in a shallow part of the lake.

I was skeptical about the floaty's usefulness, but it works great. It floats as promised. It's scary taking the backdoor on and off initially, but I haven't had any issues after doing it a couple of times. If you want your Gopro to float, this is the product.

I was wakeboarding with the chest harness and just bought the floaty backdoor earlier that day. I went down hard on a jump and the camera bolt came out. I was freaking out, but I saw the orange float near me. It saved my camera and footage of a wicked wipeout.
