The waterproof armband case is required for full immersion (deeper than 50 centimeters or when you're diving), but partial-immersion setups allow stem-mounted remote configurations. XP's documentation shows a stem-mount option where the remote stays above the waterline and the aerial antenna clips to the stem or headphones, suitable for knee-deep wading in creeks and rivers. The case becomes mandatory when you're working waist-deep surf or diving in freshwater lakes, because any accidental submersion of an unprotected remote will flood the electronics. The inline volume control works in both mounting styles, so you can adjust headphone output without opening the case or reaching for the remote.
