Canon SD950 IS waterproof case?

Just got this camera and loving it. Next thing I want to try is underwater photography but the Canon OEM case is something I can't afford right now. Ebay listed a few non-OEM but it seems like they all would compromise access to the camera's buttons and thus, limit the functions of the camera. Anyone has this camera or something similar that can recommend a good waterproof case? Thanks a ton.Canon SD950 IS waterproof case?
Save up your money and get the Canon case. I've used cases that are designed for a camera and cases (more like bags) that are for cameras of a general size. (Currently using WP-DC21 for a G9.) Something like the Aquapac should only be considered when a true case can't be found. Since the SD950 IS has a dedicated waterproof case (WP-DC19), save up your money and get it. Another advantage that the Canon case has, is it is often times rated for much greater depth. Finally, the Canon case also floats. Others that I have used, didn't provide any extra buoyancy, so if I would have let go of the camera, it would have sunk to the bottom.
