'VERY, VERY GOOD'
Strengths:
very reliable, very strong simple, and light.
Weaknesses:
can be a bit of a battle getting maps in or out - worth cutting card cover's off the O/S maps before using in the case
Overall:
I've had 3 or 4 of these, I have to say none of them have ever failed me either I lost them or accidentally pierced, I've seen nothing else that comes close.

'VERY, VERY RELIABLE AND PRACTICAL MAP CASE....'
Strengths:
As other have said water proof, very flexible clear 'plastic' case, my best map case so far...and sod it I've just gone and lost it around the Glen Orchy area - bell me if you see it!!!
Weaknesses:
Not really a weakness, but it is helpful to expel as much air as possible before you seal the velcrow -otherwise gets a bit 'bubbily'. I hate wearin anything around my neck - I slide case between my body and rucksack strap with a line clip so it doesnt drop - a very handy tip - dead easy to whip the map in/out with ultimate ease!
Overall:
I've had loads of map cases over the years - none have been this reliable, practical and esay to use - a piece of kit I recommend without hesitation, deviation or repetition!!
(Cant bloody spell to save my life!)
