    Access makes a really good Velcro cover. Works really well and it's made well. Not familiar with that style snap, but I've had button snaps and they are hard as hell to get the cover to fit in the winter. Everything shrinks and gets really right.

    Do dents and scratches count?
    I used a roll up with sides that secured with velcro. It also had a latch system to hold itself in place at the rear. To open you would drop the tailgate and pull on two chords and the latch would release. I loved it. That was on my old GMC long bed. Haven't had that truck since 07' and don't remember who made the cover. Think I paid around $350 for it.

    That's similar to how mine works. It has 2 latches at the tailgate to lock it in place.

    Soft Tri fold covers are the way to go if you ask me. Folds up in a few seconds when you need to access more of your bed, or it can be completely removed without any tools in about a minute. No snaps or velcro or anything to deal with. Speaking from experience I can tell you that covers with snaps are a royal pain in the ass to snap on when it gets cold outside...
