I like my Acorn Boxy Bag. The map case on top is wonderful, and the turnbuckle closures on the rider-facing little pockets are so easy to open and close with gloved fingers. Easier than elastic, for sure. Mine currently sits on a VO Rando front rack (soon to be sitting on a teeny custom front rack on a custom bicycle, counting, counting, counting...), with the loop of the rack going through the leather on the rider-facing side.
