    Default Onix hardcover?


    I need a hard cover for an Onix 10 that doesn't touch the screen. I can't stand the idea of the soft cover continually scrubbing on that expensive, screen. Thanks

    HB doesn't make a hard cover for ONIX ...

    And I could not find an existing hard cover (in any brand) that was close enough in dimensions to modify for ONIX 8 ...

    So I modified the rubber cover where it wouldn't touch the screen ...



    I'll probably put felt or ethafoam in the rubber cover eventually ...

    Yeah, there is a X on my screen, when I remove the cover from my onix.. .. I bet you were pretty mad at humminbird,, by the time you got that X cut off.

    Sounds like a great idea for podunkideas.com. injection molding has some high overhead though, so it would have been easier for the manufacturer to take on. Maybe you could come up with a simple solution and still make money. It just needs to seal up enough for highway driving.

    My OCD definitely could not handle the X mark on my screen every time I took the cover off ...

    Been around. Just haven't been fishing much in the last year. Between work and my motorcycle, I haven't had much free time.....
