[Paddlewise] GPS case

I have a Garmin GPS12 which I want to protect against water, as it is a
replacement for one that failed after a rain shower. When paddling I keep it
in a Seal Line plastic case, but I want something smaller for tramping. I
have had a bad run with AquaPac cases for my VHF, so don't want to go down
that track, but I still have their closure clamp.

A modified Otter Box would be an option, but may be a little too bulky.

I'm thinking about making my own case from waterproof fabric, with a clear
panel for operation, and sealed with the AquaPac closure.

Does anyone have experience with gluing fabric, particularly attaching clear
plastic to fabric? Any advice would be welcome, but products will need to be
generic, due to different markets/suppliers.

Any other solutions would be welcome.

Cheers

JKA
