I carry a mincha/maariv bentcher in my pocket, and I keep it wrapped in a paper covering in case I walk into the bathroom. (I know that some hold that bathrooms today don't need a double covering, but I prefer to keep a double covering)

My question is - does the covering need to be opaque, or can I use for example a clear polyethylene sandwich bag?

    Thanks, of course I will keep that in mind. It would be great if responders could quote a source for easy checking – Victor Grazi Nov 5 '12 at 23:56

The Mishnah Brurah (40:7) says that it's okay for one of the two coverings to be clear, but not both of them.
