Sony Ericsson patents waterproof housing

Some years ago, I remember that I saw this advertisement about throwaway camera that was waterproof. I guess, it was great if you wanted to take photos at beach. We all know that modern mobile phones can't stand water and if would own for example the K850i, I probably wouldn't want to take it with me to the beach. Now Sony Ericsson is working on a solution for this water "problem" They have just filled a patent called underwater image capturing. This waterproof housing would protect your phone but you are still able to take photos with your phone. Sounds quite interesting!

"A housing may include a first portion that includes a window configured to allow a lens to capture images viewed through the window, and a first mating surface. The housing may include a second portion that includes a second mating surface adapted to mate with the first mating surface to form a watertight seal, at least one button to provide a signal to a terminal supported in the second portion, and a receiving surface on an inner surface of the second portion adapted to receive an insert, where the insert is adapted to be removeably coupled to the receiving surface on a first side and to receive the terminal via a second side."
