Turntable Tinted Dust Cover

I purchased an RT-85 and I think it is a very good looking piece of equipment. However, I have to agree with the other reviewers. The dust cover will scratch if you look at it to hard. I used the cotton glovers provided and keep it covered with a clean microfiber towel. When I do attempt to clean the cover using a microfiber towel, it scratches the crap out of the cover. If there is even one particle of dust, no matter how delicate you are in the cleaning, it will scratch. I have no problem with the weight or density of the material but it does scratch extremely easy and that is very distressing considering how good it looks out of the box and how much I paid for the turntable. When I purchase a new phone or tablet I find that there are several options to avoid scratching the screen. It seems like a good idea to cover the top of the dust cover with some type material to avoid scratching.

Scratches very easily. Hinges are very nice.

The connectors are made of plastic and break really easily. Then it’s impossible to super glue or anything to fix it.

Will scratch if you even look at it. Don’t dare touch it.

the reviewer above was absolutely correct when they said it gets scratches from just existing.

Very poor quality dust cover, I take care of all my audio equipment pretty anally, but this cover shows scratches and marring from just sitting there, I seriously even purchased a custom cover for my RT83 when I first purchased it last year, and I even put down a microfiber towel first before the cover goes on, but there is no forgiveness to this dust cover, I compared to othere brands and the weight feels cheap and the density of the cover shows its quality Poor!!!, sorry folks but you dropped the ball on this aspect of your reference models.
