Giant freezer baggies; they are thicker than the usual. ALOKSack bags if you want the (pricey) best.
Easier to use Thompson's Water Seal to waterproof the paper maps: link with instructions and tips |

Look into getting some peel n stick laminate for small to medium maps. Or check out some specific custom map makers for a map printed on tyvek. I've done the freezer bags and always had good success. When mounted on a vehicle I use a map board. Thin plexiglass cut to size and sandwiche a map between held in place with binder clips. Stays 90% dry. You can cover the edges of each side and it seals it well when bound together.

My current job in the Army has me playing with electrons more than maps now, so I can't justify the cash, or offer any personal reviews. |

I know you asked about map cases, I just order custom water proof maps of my AO
http://www.mytopo.com/ very high quality, you can do different map ratios/ combine different usgs maps to center wherever you want, different paper sizes, water proof, topo/aerial/satellite very affordable. I have one for my home AO and for the mountains where we have our acreage. |

thanks for posting that, that's really useful info. When I was a grunt they gave us maps, but I've never really looked for good sources of topo maps outside the mil. I appreciate it!
