i didn't like the zippers on the Rapha essential cases...so i ended up with a Belroy Elements phone case. 65 grams with a sealed weatherproof zipper.

Looking for something around the 20g mark!
haha. i know. but i've ridden with the Rapha leather essentials...and the zipper really sucks. i used dry lube to get it to slide better, but there was leaking from a downpour once.
after going to the Belroy, despite the weight...i've had no issues with closure or leakage. as much as the weight goes...i used to use a ziplock bag. lightest option.

As said above, if you're looking for something very light just go for a plastic bag.
I've done it plenty of times and it was alright until I wanted to use something different (always felt a bit on the cheap side for taking off a platic bag for example at bar for pay an espresso) and tried a Bellroy too.
Yes the weight is same, around 65 gramms but after 1 year and a half it still looks like new.
I even use it as a daily wallet.
i think the best parts about the Belroy is the rain resistant zipper and the compartments. i especially like the single key slot...this way, i don't have to carry my entire house with me. that shed about 110grams. and you're right, after about 2 seasons, it still looks great.
