Read the fine print, “removing the little plastic thingies voids the warranty”!

No and I think you know that-we both have been here for a long time. Come on. Gear by Ceba
$59.99 included shipping to Florida.

It did take a while. Worth it imho. Actually exactly 15 days from date of order. Ordered Oct 17th-reec'd today 11\2.
Amazon prime has made all deliveries seem long

Chad Boston (Gear by Ceba) is pretty much a one man show, so it may take a couple of weeks. His stuff is well made though.

Slight De-fib on this thread but how are you getting on with the covers after some use, still as secure as when first installed, any issues revealed themselves?

I'm thinking of splashing out on the covers and button toppers.

Covers are fine. But then again I do NOT play out much at all. The investment isn't much for what you get and I don't see why they ever wouldn't work\hold or whatever. Just my 2 cents!

I did get some magnet rash from them, so I used small pieces of black tape to cover the magnets on the side touching the FM9.

Haven't checked that but I guess I have it also. Don't really care though. Don't plan on selling it and if I ever had to I doubt that would affect the selling price.
But I do understand. I have similar type issues I , well, make sure I take care of and fix

Yeah I'm in the same boat, more to protect it from my own idiocy dropping food/tools etc. on it at my desk. Oh and the kids, always the kids.

Push the bottom side of the magnets into the plastic so they’re flush or indented and you won’t get any rash. They still stick extremely well to the modeler.

I did that to all of mine and they still stick like they’re glued to the chassis.

Any issues manipulating the buttons with these on?

I am able to use all of the buttons / knobs / switches with the screen guards on. The guards to make it so that you have to be a bit more intentional when you press the buttons, but the foot switches and knobs are completely unimpeded.

I wish I had done this sooner. In fact, I think they came to me already flush on one side and I put them on upside down lol I did put a small peel & stick dot next to the main screen, as my cover was making contact in one small area and leaving a mark (very small). So now there is just enough clearance to not make contact there. Chalk it up to diff tolerances in materials, idk. Still, I think the they look great and make the FM9 bulletproof. Definitely glad I got them.

Thanks Greg, but I am not worried about cosmetic stuff. Good advice for those that are!

What type of buttons are those black toppers? Thanks

Not for me, no!

These have been fantastic on my FM9. Several rehearsals and a couple of gigs and all good.
