Nimar in italy do produce a housing but I would not recommend it.

I had one about a year ago and it leaked heavily (fortunately I tried it out with just paper inside first). I sent it back to Italy to be repaired / replaced and it took 10 months to return.

On the functionality side, it also had a major drawback in that the flash could not be opened as the housing fitted snuggly around the camera with no room to have the flash open.

It is a real pity that it didn't work out as the casing is absolutely solid.

I eventually swapped to using an Olympus Mju 410

Hopefully this gives you an idea of what to avoid rather than what to choose.
