How long is the outside rubber part supposed to last? Is it warranted?

they last a while if you dont take it in and out of jean pockets. otherwise just normal wear and tear

not sure, will check the website and try to call. Mine never really fit from the time I got it.

I think it really depends on how often you take it off and put it on. I hardly ever take mine off but my daughter takes it off almost every day. With normal use it should last pretty long. I wouldnt leave it out in a 100 degree car every day or anything like that. As for the warranty I have no idea. I didnt read all the paperwork with it because I was already familar with the product.

With regular use it should last awhile. Mine has rubbed off but that is because it gets put in a bike bottle cage everyday.

I have had mine for a year or more. I brush off the dirt outside, then run it under hot water and wipe it dry. I leave it out for a couple of hours before returning it to its' holster. It seems fine so far.

Its said to last the lifetime of the tire once u put it in. I've used it before and rode over a year on it

This part is plastic and wears down. I replace mine about every 2-3 years. That is if I use the Snow blower during the 2-3 years. I also replace the belt and the pads at the same time.

I have been using it outside, simply because it's so cheap. 1.5 years later it still works. When it was under a roof overhang, it never failed, ever! Since then I've moved it to a tree and it has been through rain, snow, and freezing rain. The only thing that stopped working is being able to pan up (down and left/right still work), but that might have happened from being dropped.

Think it's a year, should last you through the warranty. It's built very well.

No problem with rubber seal. I live in a very windy and sandy place and every couple months I have to take it apart to clean behind outside lens. I once broke the belt clip getting out of the car and the service getting it replaced was something out of the 70's. Very friendly fast and free. I would buy another one any time.

Well I haven't honestly taken it out enough but what I can say is, I pull at the rubber case all the time and it hasn't stretched out at all. I've only had it for about 4 months. Hope this helps.

The gaskets are replaceable. That being said, I've had the same gaskets for over two years now and there hasn't been any sign of aging or cracking in the rubber.

I've had mine for a few months and have used it a lot...sometimes I put too much in, but I've not noticed any gouging. Doesn't it have a 10 year guarantee? AS long as it still works and it's just looks, I personally wouldn't worry until it looks like it might actually be breaking apart. I guess it's just a bid DUNNO from me

I change my pads at 3000 miles which is about every six months. I don't concern myself with how much rubber is left. Rubber can get hard over time as it is heated up from the braking action. I purchase this because another rider told me about them during a century ride. Much better brakings than standard brake pads. As I didn't directly answer your question, I hope this info helps. Never skimp on rubber (tires/pads)

I've had mine almost 2 years now without any wear on it. I'm sure it depends on how rough you are with them, but my case has been great this whole time.

Its rubber on the outside, but does have a thin nylon liner inside. Mine is tearing a little around the handles and zipper, but I have used it everyday now for almost 2 years... a friend patched it up for me (as I have no sewing skills) so its good as new again!

Pete: Sorry, I cannot attest to its outdoor worthiness. I suggest you contact the manufacturer for the reliable answer. Perhaps others may post responses from their own experiences.

Having no problem with mine. But I should think it should last at least a year. I'd contact seller.

Got almost three years out of mine, outside on the patio, weather exposed before some of the strings started to break.Everyday sleeping might be a bit much.
