I also seen the pin armor on display at the EXPO and thought looked very nice. These are not designed to be dust covers. Dust covers are designed to cover your pins and protect them from dust. Pin armor are heavy duty and designed for moving pins. If you have moved pins before and used blankets, cardboard, shrink wrap, foam, towels, etc to protect the machine then this pin armor would basically replace all those materials and really be all you need. I am pretty AR so spend quite a bit of time prepping a machine when I buy or sell one. This product would cut down on the hassle and also provide nice protection. While they are not a necessity you are basically paying for a convenience. I don't buy/sell machines that much anymore so really don't have any need for the product, but when I seen it at the EXPO I thought of all the times I picked up machines and how this would have been handy to have to just thrown on the machine and be done with it.

The price of these pail in comparison to what pinball accessories cost now and are worth their weight in gold. My buddy has a set and we have used them over and over to move/transport machines. It is funny how at the time people bitched and complained they were too expensive yet they will pay that now for a plastic lasercut topper. If someone does decide to make these again I think they would sell really well considering how expensive games are now and how easy these are for moving machines around.

At one point I believe Stern was selling something very similar with their logo on it however I haven't seen those available in years. This was the last time I could find Pinball Armor's website was up and running for those who were curious about the pricing and what products they offered:
