Make a Pro Waterproof Camera Case (+ video)

Step 4 Gasket

 Use sticky-backed craft foam as a gasket. You are going to silicone the outside cracks anyway, but the foam makes a darn good secondary defense against water.
The sticky side of this foam is on the lens.

what if you used caulking, it wouldnt look all that bad. in fact it looks great on mine

Just wanted to recommend using 2-part epoxy instead of a gasket, I can't think of any reason you would need to remove the lens and epoxy will be a lot stronger.

 Epoxy has the tendency to look really bad.

I guess if it's not put on properly it could. When I get my new camera I do plan to build something like this, but probably just out of Plexiglas (I dive).

But anyway nice Ible.
