If I take it on and off frequently, to remove from case to put on exercise machine, will this damage the suction on the unit? You have to leave it on?

The suction cup on the holder is well built. You should'nt have any issues no matter how many times you remove and install your tablet.

I commonly remove mine several times a day, and after about 1 year no change in the ability for it to attach. The section head of the device is very well made (i.e. industrial strength)

Yes, it could be left off but it wouldn't be practical. It contains a magnetic sensor for the safety kill switch. That would have to be bypassed to use the treadmill.

I find that about once every 2 months, I take it out to the garage and give it a good blow with my shop vac on reverse. Lots of dust comes out, but the key is that it does come out. Then the case is clean as new.

It doesn't remove completely. It is meant to be just a protective transport for the board. You would have a tough time operating your pedals if you left it in the case, because the lip would be higher than your pedal's buttons.

No, the machine needs to be off. Just attach to the pump suction and give it a squirt. It takes very little and the the can is good for several applications.

I've had mine for about 6 months with no stretching. I don't take it off very often to clean. However, I will warn you that my wife has the same case and the flip out plug for the power input doesn't fit. Mine fits, so it seems hit or miss in our experience.

As another person wrote, about the "ungraceful" work of getting it on to and off the stand. If at all possible, I'd keep it on the stand, which is what I do. Mine is set up in a small room that is carpeted and I put plastic carpet slides under each of the 6 legs of the stand. That makes it relatively easy to push it or pull it out of the way when vacuuming the room. i

Yes, I have not had to remove the case for any reason. Although it does shift a little. When plugging it in it needs to be pushed in tight each time.

I can come off but I never take mine off because it acts as a stand and provides extra protections for you screen, it's really not bothersome when not in use.

I haven't tried to turn it off since the booklet said you have to turn the machine off first. I assume it is to protect the machine.

Definitely would have to take it off. It's a very snug fit. Kind of inconvenient to take off the case each time (I have one too), but this running case is awesome and I would recommend it.

Yes. I leave it on. No problems. It is in a small bathroom and seems to work great.

No, you have to put it on and take it off each time you use it. It is so easy that it isn't that big of a deal though.

Yes. I do it all the time. Wipe it off promptly or it's a little hard to clean later. But it still comes off.

It's not necessary for carpet protection really but it is important part of protecting your treadmill. I was told that not using it could cause dust buildup and static from the carpet causing the motor to short circuit/burn out or something along those lines.

If you are charging your unit on the top, you need to remove the case. If you are using the charging cord that came with the unit in the back, you do not need to remove the case.

Yes, you do have to hold the on/off switch to keep the vacuum running. For me, this is not a problem. I mainly use the Makita for spot cleaning. I rarely need to operate it in one place for more than 15-20 seconds.
