Well I don't know how much these ones you are talking about cost but
the one I got from Lidls some 4 years ago for the grand sum of
probably no more than a couple of quid has been absolutely first class
and in terms of value for money probably out paces anything else on
the market.

But tell me something else wrt mapcases ? Why is that on an
absolutely clear day - I mean seriously clear, not a cloud in the sky,
so it was warm as well - several guys I passed out on Ben Vorlich and
Stuc a' Chroin were walking on great big clear hill walkers' paths
with these silly great map cases swinging around their necks ? I see
this all over the place and cannot understand why these guys can cope
with this ungainly object swinging around their body with each step
they take. And there's hardly a hill now that doesn't have some sort
of path up it so you don't need to look at the map anymore than a
couple of times in the day.

Rant over.
