I purchased a Standard radio last fall from US Boat.  I also purchased a
dry bag from US Boat.  The bag had a slide on clip similar to the clip on
the bottom of a reusable food tube.  That clip lasted for 2 trips and maybe
half a dozen dry runs.  I attempted to return it to US Boat with no
success, no receipt = no return.  I subsequently purchased an Aqua-pac dry
bag at REI.  I have not used the new bag on the water, however the seal
mechanism looks a lot more substantial.  The instructions with the bag warn
about testing the bag for leaks before initial use and before each use.
Testing amounts to putting excess air in the bag and squeezing it under
water so you can see leaks.  REI did not have the bag in stock, they called
the manufacturer with my radio dimensions and it arrived in a couple of
days.
