G12 and Underwater housing

I have the above or at least the G12 now and the Canon WP-DC34 housing leaked last year while in Cozumel. I had a previous case that leaked as well. My other cameras never had this issue. Personally I think it's due to the size of the G12 and the lens extension. A smaller camera or point and shoot has much less protuberance, the lens extension puts added on the hinges. Oh yeah, yes I take care of the housing. I pull the O-ring after each day of diving, clean and re-lube.

Anyway seeking ideas for another housing. Any tried and true options out there.

my powershot case leaked too. a85.
that was the end of that camera! it really fizzed!
ruined the batteries also. amazingly, the compact flash card was, and still is, ok.

My Sandisk memory card was fine to. I rinsed it off in fresh water, let it dry for a day and I am still using that card.

I am selling my sealife DC500 that I bought new several years ago. it's been rock solid, and I've never taken the o-ring out or cleaned it. the only trouble I had with the whole setup was the battery case inside the flash disintegrated after a while. it was a common problem and I bought the updated battery case for like $10 or whatever and bam. good as new. not nearly as good a performer as a Gseries, but I've managed some really good photos with it even so.

Thank you, but I am very satisfied with the G12 underwater performance and I am comfortable with it, not to mention a few thousand pics comfortable with it. I think I will rent an Ikelite housing for it annually. I have found a few places that do that.
