If your talking about the dust/rain covers, yeah the best ones are from the UK. I just bought a control box cover for my wife's XP. To me it's worth the wait for quality and fit.

This is from thesaurusmetaldetecting from eBay

I just got one that covers the touchpad with a sun visor. I dont see why you need one of the bigger ones unless you are prone to really scratching machines but the touch pad is the part that will affect functionality/resale. I did get one for the wiress unit too just to keep sound out of it

I'll probably give them a shot. For the money paid for the machine, going to protect it with the best.

Thanks jadocs!

No problem, be advised these are hand made (high quality) so don't get discouraged if you don't get a shipping notice right away. A lot depends on what color you choose (they may have to make it). My first cover took 6 days to make then another 6 to make it to my door. I don't think I ever got a shipping notice through eBay, but I did correspond with them through their FB page where they let me know it was in the mail.

Ordered the Thesaurus full set black. It's not just bangin' through the brush, it's the unexpected drops, slips, spills, dropped diggers/shovels, swing-rub and travel bounce that can slowly diminish the worth of the machine. The covers remove most of that mental/monetary overhead. They don't help as much if you don't keep them clean, however...if sand/dirt get inside the covers you end up creating a problem your were trying to prevent.

Thanks for the help!!

HH!

While waiting for the CTX covers I tried the Thesaurus V3i display cover on the CTX and it fits rather well...can use it in the meantime no problem.

I am using this one and its awesome. I don't really think you need anything covered other than the screen unless you are pretty rough with your other machines. The sun visor has helped too...I do notice it blocking the sun quite often and it does come off via velcro if you were going in the water.
