I too have an Apelco 520.  Though I haven't had it but a month, and on the
water only about 3 times, I've yet to use a protective bag/pouch.  It has
gotten wet, but not submerged.  Only problem I've had is the low end operating
temperature of -20 C (~0 F) seems to be accurate.  Warm it up and it works
fine.  Go out with it in my PFD pocket at 0 F and it does not work.  Looking
at making a harness or pouch to wear inside, between PFD and drysuit.
