I use a disposable food cover bag (medium) available at the supermarket. Has an elastic opening for going over a plate of food. Use once and throw away.... Or a clear shower cap if you want something tougher.

I use a sandwhich bag now and then if need be. Especially if theres alot of salt spray or light rain. Tape it off carefully so no water runs inside.
