 Cut out a window on the lid of the container so you can see the screen of your camera. Using the same technique you did to make the lens, mount a piece of plastic on the INSIDE with screws, foam, and silicone.

Shouldn't the plastic be on the outside? So that the water pressure will help it seal.

 It's not going very deep. Practicality overpowered functionality in this project.

I was mainly wondering wy you specified the inside as I can't see wy it would matter.

The outside of the lid has rough texture, with an embossed logo and such. I was afraid that the rough surface would effect the gasket, so I mounted the window on the smooth inside.
