I have the Aquapac and it is plastic.  I tried using it while in calm
conditions down a river and the plastic would not stay straight and kept
distorting.  It was also quite difficult to keep the plastic completely smudge
free when water got on it.  If you were going to go with a bag make sure it
has glass for the lense.  Unless you already have a digital camera you want to
use with it the EWA ones the cost can get pretty high as they start at just
under $100 and run up to and over $400.
