Anyone buy the gel case for the control module?

I did. Went to use it and thought it was great for the first couple days anyway. Once there was some dirt and fine scratching on it, it was impossible to read through the front screen.

I use it every hunt and clean it with a Clorox wipe after. It can get difficult to see in direct sunlight with a little dirt and dust on the screen portion. I just give a shot of water spray every hour or so, when it gets really bad. Wipe it clean and it's good to go! I do not want to risk getting dirt in the bottons in that very expensive control box.

I have also rigged up the wave waterproof case with the glued insert on the back. Haven't tried it out yet, but that may work better even in general conditions to see.

The silicone gell case is not perfect, but it gets the job done.

better one on ebay with a clear front and neoprine sides did not like the gel case.

I bought a Aquacase for an IPhone and a Deus mounting adapter and fashioned this fully waterproof case for me Deus. I have under $25 in the complete set up.

Been there done that... with the ARYCA WAVE.
Another tip for those cases is to get those little clear rubber (probably silicone) bumper dots for cabinet doors and put them on the controller buttons.
you can still see the buttons and it makes it a breeze to push them.

Liking the I phone case idea

With the various similar waterproof cases described above, unlike the Deus gel case, the gel-like rubber facing on the waterproof cases tends to retain good visibility of the control module during an outing even if you are getting mud and dirt from your gloves on it while pressing away. Rinses off easily when necessary. If I don't really need the max protection and want to avoid the bulk afforded by the waterproof case, I have found that the minimalist neoprene case with clear front described by calabash digger above is superior to the Deus gel case in terms of not getting clouded up with dirt and scratches yet affords protection against dirt and incidental bumps and drizzle.

I have a gel case, but can't see through it. Didn't work for me.
