New 2008 owner, need advice on tonneau

Greetings all, I just bought my 2008 HD 150 3 weeks ago. Love the truck, much "cooler" than my old minivan.
Looking for opinions on tonneau covers.
I am pretty set on getting a hard folding cover and am leaning towards getting a BAKflip because I like how it sits flush with the bed rails. Trouble is, I have not sean one in person to be able to judge the quality of the product. Anyone have any opinions on that one or others?
Thanks!

not worried about a little water leaking through.

I have been to Hitch City, Cobra and Action Truck World on Dixie. None have the Bakflip. Was looking at the Extang solid fold, but saw one on a truck and didn't like how it looked compared to the BAKflip

The quality is descent. I have had mine on now for about 7-8 months and no problems. I use the bed quit a bit so therefore I exercise caution when I open and fold my cover (plus for 700 bucks, I'm not going to treat it like chit). I've noticed slight wear on the rubber seals between the panels on the edges probably due to the frequency of use. It looks great and I get compliments on it all the time. I have some pics right after install in my "Old Gallery" and some other pics of it folded up w/a quad in the back under "My Truck" in my "New Gallery".

Congrats on the new HD, I'll trade ya!
