[Paddlewise] GPS and other cases

I like the small Voyageur bag as it is nice and flexible for easy
manipulation of the Magellan Meridians buttons.  Also the front is very
clear plastic.   I don't recall the model name.  I just recall it was
actually intended for a Walkman type of personal stereo but fit my GPS
perfectly.  A friend loaned it to me once for a trip to the Apostle
Islands.  

Before that and what I still use for day to day use is a Seal Line
electronics case.  The model I have is semi flexible and slightly
frosted plastic with a few attachment points.  Personally I don't like
this as it is harder to read the screen though the plastic and
manipulate the buttons.  Unfortunately that was the best I could find at
the time.  Perhaps it is more secure inters of water protection and just
a trade off.  

Oh, I also use another of the Seal Line electronics bags for my marine
radio.  

As for other Seal Line products.  I have been using their large dry bags
for canoeing for about 15 years or so with out a problem.  They are very
well made.  Also, I have a Seal Line map case that has also seen 10-15
years of use and other than having some ink transfer from the map to it,
it is in great condition.  

I don't know why they don't use the same super clear and flexible
plastic in the map case for the electronic cases.  Perhaps they feel it
is not as protective.
