Equinox Control Panel Keyboard / User Interface Protection

[Michael Wells]

Hi Steve and all other forum members.

Just wondering will the equinox control panel front keyboard user interface stand up to the rigors of heavy use especially here in the UK with gloves on and mud everywhere.

I know it has a screen protector, but will there be perhaps an aftermarket control panel cover , say for instance like the at pro covers etc,

I always protect this part of the detector if possible , Maybe a simple plastic bag would suffice.

Thanks Michael

All the Minelab detectors I've used in the past had durable housings and controls.  I expect the Equinox will be the same.  Purchasing an after market cover is always a good idea to protect your investment.

I use screen protectors on all my detectors. I have never come close to wearing out a touch pad on any detector so I don’t worry about that. I won’t be surprised to see some sort of aftermarket cover for the entire pod appear someday.

With the cellphone-ish size of the pod, seems to me a cinch to find a nice fitting cover that you could so easily modify to make a good cover,  if you're so inclined. 

  I bet by summer there will be after market covers being offered by the Russian or Ukraine manufacturers
