	Mine is used right out in the open.  --Gets drips etc. on it all the time.
When I began using it I too was cautious.  Kept it in one of those
see-through dry bags.  I could see the screen just fine and could
manipulate the keys.  After seeing the GPS 76ers keeping theirs out under
the bungees I began to do that too.
	I still use a GPS 12 from time to time and it usually lives in the
see-through bag but sometimes it's carried in a divers' drybox with a
transparent plastic lid.  I can see the screen fine but obviously can't
punch keys.  It's used this way if I'm carrying other stuff like a camera
or cellphone...
