The general texture is a bit rough (I ordered the white nylon version), but=
I don't care about that. =A0 Actually, it isn't slippery I guess which cou=

As for its durability, time will tell. =A0So far it has stood up to quite a=
bit of not-too-gentle use without any problems. =A0I have dropped it sever=
al times, had it fall to the ground when a tripod fell over, etc. and it is=
unmarred.
As I said, I am quite pleased so far but I've only had it a few weeks. =A0I=
t is overpriced for what it is but it isn't offensively priced. =A0If it sa=
id Rode on the side it would have been $99 rather than the $35 I paid.
