How is the quality? I received mine yesterday and it had a rip in the cover. Makes me wonder how durable it will be over time.

We've had ours for a year now. We love it. Our truck is also outside in Minnesota 24/7! Very durable so far! :)

I have had mine for 7-8 months, and one before that on another trick for a year. I was very pleased with both, and would not hesitate to buy another.

Mine arrived fine. I've had it almost two years with a couple of long road trips and so far, so good.

We've had ours for about 4 months now, and it's perfect. The truck isn't garaged, so it sits out in the weather and so far is holding up well. Looks good, is easy to roll up when something is a bit too tall and it seems to be weather/rain proof, protecting whatever is in the bed. Hopefully, yours was just an anomaly.

I have only had mine for a few months, but it looks as good today as it was when I put it on. I think it's the material used behind the letters/numbers that allows the printing to last. It appears to be very sturdy. I love mine!

I bought it quite a while ago but I was pleased with it. Very good quality. I would look to see about the notched corners but we are on a trip right now and the item is not with me.

I've had mine since December and haven't had any issues. It seems pretty durable for me. It doesn't get sticky when it's warm, that's the beauty of fake leather! I say it's a pretty good deal! I've had two friends stay the night and use it as a bed so it's been put to good use!

Although I was VERY careful using and cleaning it, it did not last long. I didn't even recycle it to a thrift shop. I saw it in a retail store this week.....for MUCH less than I paid for it through Amazon. It was exactly the same......not really a bargain since it would be thrown away too. I agree with Sasha: I would be interested in a QUALITY version.

I would ask for the replacement. I just ordered a replacement Kindle 2 because I had several such cracks that ultimately led to the darkening of my screen to the point at which I can't read the darn thing any longer. I learned my lesson, bought the Patagonia case (and sewed in my own modification so that it now actually holds the device securely). No more worthless leather cover for me.

Be careful of cheap covers. The ones B&N; sells are much better quality than some of these companies just trying to make a buck off a new item. Spend a few bucks more and you won't have to replace it in a few months

Ive covered mine with a cover I bought for like 20 dollars on amazon. Obviously wait till its completely cool before covering it. The Covers helped so far !

Same here, it was great whilst it lasted. I had no kids play with mine and never dropped it but the screen became unreadable after using it for 14 months. Was not worth it...

I too had a problem with the zipper in the cover breaking. I contacted the Armarkat help desk and their response was that they would send out a new cover if you email your purchase receipt with all the info date, order number etc. Also they want a photo of the damage emailed with the other information.

Jim - I will do my best here.The cover is not what I would desribe as cheap plastic. It is more like a waterproof woven material that seems quite durable. I have had the cover on the boat while trailering on the highway for several trips at over 80 miles each, and the cover held up well. There are also plenty of tie downs that have heald up well.Hope this helps.Jeff

I've had mine for a while and it's held up great. Just be sure to not over tighten the screw on parts and never over load it. Other than that, it's awesome!

After the first washing and air drying it did not appear that the cover shrank. Yet when we put the insert in the zipper failed. It would zip just so far so I used a safety pin across the zipper to stop it from going off track. It seems that their is a problem with the zipper. I would like to look into getting a replacement as well. Have you contacted anyone to see if replacement of the cover is viable?

I'm glad Amazon was able to give you a refund! I assumed since my covers were labeled a final sale that I wasn't entitled to a refund, but it certainly is worth asking now that I've heard about your experience. Maybe if enough of us speak up, Amazon will no longer allow them to carry their faulty covers.

If you got it from Laza, contact them. They sent me a new cover right away when I told them mine had broken.

I have opened it and used it thrice over a period of month or maybe even litttle more. Did not find any drop in quality while using the second or third time. Hope it helps

It actually holds up pretty well as is. I haven't tried recovering it as I haven't needed to. My only issue with it, other than normal wear and tear (and it's holding up well to claws), is that my guy has started to bite it and rip pieces of it off on the side. I figure I have seven more ways to flip it until he's done destroying it.
