smart cover

Has anyone used a car cover that was purchased from smart? Any feedback would be a help!

Bought one from smart center Seattle. Very happy. Seems not to scratch the finish and keeps the crud off my smartie.

Got one of the small ones from California pop tops that are designed to be interior sun shades, just covers the windows. Been good for me. Use it to keep from scraping frost off the windows and it is easy to handle and keep in the tailgate without making any noise. also spares me the pain of dragging a cover over a dirty car.

I use one similar to Karl's only from a different company. I bought it in May and it's still in perfect condition after daily use. BTW, it actually does go on as easily as shown in their video:
Car Cover Express: SmartCover Car Covers, Instant SunShade for Cars, Trucks, SUVs. SilverTech covers for cars. Flying Car Covers, and SilverCoat Heat Shield Car Cover.

I bought the silver cover with the smart logos all over it from the dealer. I have been very pleased with the cover due to the fact that the car stays clean and it is essentially waterproof. It fits very tight and there is some seepage around the stitching for the mirror pockets. The cover is slightly difficult to install and you have to remove the antenna mast. I purchased a stubby antenna so I don't have to remove the mast when I install the cover. This cover is more expensive then others that you see on the market but it does the job. I have only had to wash my Smart twice since acquiring it last July.

In California summer heat, I'm pleased with my California Pop Top but I considered the apparently slightly easier SmartCover. Since it's one-size-fits-all, how well does it fit over the small Smart cabin? I wondered about the overhang and the ability of the suction cups being able to meet with the glass area.
