IPAD for GPS

 I have set up an IPAD 2 on the dash so that I can use GPS software.  All good except in heavy seas when I cannot fully see out of the windscreen or clears and this is when I need navigation guidance most.  Water drops and spray can sometimes enter the cockpit area under such conditions and the IPAD is at risk of water ingress so I have to pack it away,  However if it had a sun guard or splash shield it would most probably be safe.  Does anyone know of something that might do the job?

Buy a lifeproof or similar case. They are waterproof (or at least splashproof)
