This morning, I was on the train platform. I pulled my K2 in the case out and tucked it under my arm while I was rummaging in my backpack for something else. I dropped it, and it landed on the edge or corner. It fell about 4-1/2 ft. onto asphault. No damage to the K2.

So, this cover cost $46 or so. A K2 repair is $200, last I heard. This cover just paid for itself.

Not sure how this would have turned out if it were in a leather case. My guess is that it would be probably OK if it landed on one edge, but not OK if it landed on another.

The only thing is, it has no style. It is 100% function. You'll have to balance that into your selection equation.
