Default Should I go with Bak tonneau covers?

I'm looking to get a folding tonneau cover and have really been interested in the Bak covers but want to know what makes them worth spending the money on vs. the other brands? Most of the other brands seem to be significantly cheaper and have longer warranties.

Went with the Undercover Flex rather than a Backflip. Liked the easy removal (needed to use the FULL length of the bed) and the fiberglass panels won't dent like aluminum. The price was also right.

Had 4.4" of rain recently...I had a little seepage at the front of the box (mainly the corners) and some across the span of the tailgate. There was a little moisture on the bed, but not bad in my opinion. I'll try repositioning the cover back about 1/8" to see if it makes any difference. After 12 years with an open bed, getting stuff soaked with every rain, a little seepage is not a problem.

Default BakFlip VP ordered today

I ordered a BakFlip VP today for my new 2013 Tuxedo Black Limited. Awsomly beautiful BTW.

Got a great price from AJ@AnythingAuto. I narrowed the choice down to about four. Wife and I then together watched the videos on YouTube, both contributed and posted best foot forward by makers & vendors.

Determining criteria was:
  1. Ease of use by petit woman.
  2. Ease of full bed access. That omitted cartridge style, and stacking above or below without easy removal.
  3. Good looking. I do place positive value on the looks of the Limited. (have I written the 2013 Limited is georgeous in this post yet?)
  4. Water resistant
  5. Ease of installation
  6. Price.

Wife was the final decision maker.
