It ain't pretty but it'll do the job. Ripped up a old kids toy pocketbook to use the urethane (or whatever it is) coating. A fast and easy velcro closure. Easy thumb access. I know I could've bought one, but it's more fun for me If I can make it. Whatta ya think?
Cyas, Mike

Well, that is a lot better than the ones I used to make out of those produce bags you find in the grocery store. Sounds like you invested just about as much money as I did. I'm with you, why waste the money. Good job.

You did a great job on that...

I've done the same kinda... I take the unit of the handle, put it in a zip lock bag so I can dee the display through the bottom of the bag with the cord coming out the zip-end facing down to keep it dry. Then simply screw the unit back onto the handle. It looks stupid but works.

Yours almost looks like manufactured... great job!

Thanks. I used to do the same thing with a ziploc on my White's. Worked fine. Did'nt care what it looked like as long as it worked.
