There are plenty of vinyl waterproof bags available that will work perfectly for you. You can find them at camping supply shops sold as 'map cases.' You can also find these being sold at photo shops as 'gear bags.' I have some that will keep my reader safely dry underwater! Not expensive, these bags come in many different sizes and qualities depending upon how much you want to spend. When not covering the reader, they can fold up and comfortably fit in your pocket. For something even lighter, look for 'Alosak' bags. These are 'mil-spec' plastic 'ziplock' style bags that are also sized and completely waterproof. They are much stronger than kitchen zip-locks, and will hold up for a good long time. Good value for the money!
