Used the Silva 80 plastic housing compass and loved it, but it seems like that is gone. Someone on the boards here in 2005 said that Brunton bought Silva out and changed it to their mark, but I can't find anything here on on the webs about it.

A simple way to protect your instruments is to get a couple of neoprene mouse pads and build cases for them. Duct tape works well. Just be sure to leave a hole in one corner for the cords. Slide the case up when in use. Slide it back down for traveling.
I'm trying to do one sewing project a week and posting it on G+. Compass/Clino cases are on my "to do" list.
