 Neo casing

Neo owners, what are your impressions with the casing on this unit? The plastic feels really soft and prone to gouges and scrateches. The demo units I tried were already starting to look bad. Any other opinions?

The painted Pro is going to have the same trouble that the Platinum and Prism did.

...you know, I've never had the major problems other folks had with those models... a little rubbing, but no wholesale flaking..


...I thought the pro had a different finish from the Plat...

The one I saw was in a harness at Best Buy. The areas that made contact with the harness were scratched/rubbed, and there was a darker color underneath the light finish.

 Arrow Are you sure?

Are you sure that you saw a Visor Pro and not something else? The Visor Pro does not have the same painting problems that the Platinum had. i did some experiment (involving lots of scratching) with a demo unit and it pasts the tests with flying colors. Notice not post about paint stripping off so far. We would have heard something by now if this was a problem.

There were definitly dark scratches/smudges on it. Maybe something from the harness rubbed off on it.
