Waterproof Housing for Electronics

I want to put my circuitry in a waterproof box that is easy to open and close again yet have no issues with waterproofing. I have come across a solution of using otterbox http://www.otterbox.com/waterproof-case ... lt,sc.html

What I am not sure of is how much pressure can this bear? My ROV will be going to around 50m. Can it bear 5 bars of pressure (equivalent to depth of 50m i think)? If anyone has used this, you are requested to kindly guide me or if there are any other solutions available.

onibnasir, here is a good read on some actual testing of otterboxes from the Scuba World Forums.
