Any more pictures of this? Outside looks great. I'd like to see some shots of the seal to the bed rail and the mounting hardware/frame/rail. I haven't seen many threads with information on this cover.

I ordered one of these last week for my new 2016 Screw 5.5', opened up the box and set it on the bed to look it over, then promptly put it back in the box and had UPS pick it back up the next day.
I was very disappointed in the construction and feel of it for a number of reasons, although most were related to the "hinges":
1) The seals and edges of the cover sat way too close the edges of the rails for my liking.
2) The "hinges" of the panels were just strips of a vinyl-type material that were adhered to the main panels.
3) The "hinges" were already peeling off in a number of places from the main panels, which shows the adhesive is very sub-par.
4) The "hinges" being flexible don't give a nice folding action from a fixed point, as the material can bunch up and not fold squarely.
5) The overall feel of the cover was flimsy and I'm willing to bet I could have easily pulled up on the main panel from the center above the tailgate and flexed it enough to open it without actually releasing the latches.
It looked nice, and had a very sleek and clean appearance, but it definitely wasn't worth $850!

Wow... we have sold about 40 of them so far and this is honestly the first negative review I have had or even seen...
People buying it from us aren't paying even close to $850 though so not sure where you purchased it...
Sorry it wasn't for you...

I was in a rush trying to get ready for a 2 week trip and got it off of Amazon, as I have Prime and it was available for 2 day shipping. Seeing as MSRP was $999, their price of $850 plus my additional 5% back on my Amazon card put it around $805, which seemed reasonable. I saw mention that your price is around $650, which is quite impressive.
I guess maybe I just got a bad unit, but I couldn't find many reviews. Amazon had 2, one said they loved it and the other said it was junk and he immediately returned it but didn't give any details on why. I found a Toyota forum where a guy seemed pretty happy as well, and I REALLY wanted to like it, as it looks very clean when installed.
Anyway, I decided to just keep using my old truck for work a bit longer after that since I've already got a lid on it, so I've been doing more research on other covers/shells as time permits, even though I did a ton of looking before ordering the Lomax. I'll probably be contacting you for a few quotes in the next few days.
