Hi,
Have anyone had experience with the Meikon aluminum housing for the RX100 (or for any other camera)?
Meikon Top Quality Of Aluminium Waterproof Digital Camera Case For Rx100,Up To 100m - Buy Waterproof Digital Camera Case For Rx100,100m Waterproof Housing For Rx100,100 M Ultra Rugged Camera Housing For Rx100 Product on Alibaba.com

They seem to have implemented the dial (unlike the cheaper plastic one), and has dual o-ring, a pet peeve that I have with some of the more expensive ones. Before going on about chinese junk, don't forget, Nauticam is a chinese brand too. And Meikon makes housings for alot of different camera (and I'm not talking about using a generic plastic cube and drilling holes left and right for the buttons, circa 1950's Sea Hunt, and current day Ikelite).
Direct from china pricing seems to be in the $400-$500 range, but if one only feels safe buying $1000 housings, then one can buy it here for that:

I've also posted this in the general underwater photography forum, but this post is to get information more specific for the RX100.
