I have used the Seattle Sports case referenced, and have not been completely satisfied with it--I never seem to get a complete seal on the closures. I still use mine occassionally, but not for anything that I want to make sure stays dry (I use it with a waterproof chart and carry some navigational tools in the smaller compartment. I also have a GPS waterproof "bag" just like the one from Voyageur--seems to work very well. But, I've only used it a couple of times--so far no leaks, no runs, no errors (operator errors that is). As for a chart case, I'm currently using one of the heavy duty plastic "ziplock" closure ones from SealLine (Cascade Designs)--similar to the electronics case mentioned. It held up through a lot of surf during recent BCU 5 Star training, and no leaks. I do find that I really needed to work the closure to get a tight closure, but I like the result. Is there such a thing as the perfect chart case?
