Truck bed cover

Line-X truck bed cover...anyone?
I have searched and came up with one thread concerning diamondback covers within the past year or so. I like the idea of being able to open from the front or the rear of the truckbed. I also was looking at getting the linex done for the additional cost as I want black. However, I just came across a linex truck cover that looks exactly like the diamondback (minus the diamond plating) for about half the price. From what I can tell these have just been out for about a month and I am hoping someone else may have bought a linex cover and could provide feedback. Thanks.

I guess I will be the guinea pig on this. I just ordered one and apparantly this is the second month of selling them. Apparantly nobody on here has gotten one yet. I will start a new thread on my opinion of these tops once I get it installed.

Here are some pics as promised.Well, I have had my Linex cover installed for over a week now. I am more than happy with it. The price and look are great IMHO. I need to tighten up the front as I have bed caps and the front lip has a small gap that needs to be sealed better. A mere tightening down of the front latch support should work. Another option would be to get rid of the rails (always wanted to) but was worried about what the underside looks like once the rails come off. I imagine it is only 3M tape holding that on. Disregard the date, my daughter's camera was set up incorrectly!
I guess my feedback for Linex will be to increase the size of their front rail seal by about 1/4" to accomodate the bed rail option. I imagine there will be a little tweaking here and there from LineX as mine is only the 52nd off the production line. However, even with the gap I only had a small bead of water in there after some last weeks storms cells moved through the area.

As a follow-up. I read through the manual and apparantly the cover is made by diamondback for line-x. The warranty paperwork has me sending it to diamondback. I know some people were wondering who mad eit. I originally thought it was line-x.

Just remember, this one is rated at 250 pounds. I do not see too many people driving around with cargo on top of their covers. I guess this was a way for diamondback to hit the "I only want to keep my cargo secure and dry ONLY" market and not top load my toys.
