My undercover is awesome... opens by itself with pistons and closes very easy. Oh and it locks too and you don't have to install a pop and lock because it secures the tailgate so it wont open unless the cover is open.

I second the Undercover. It is easy to use and very easy to take off when you need to use the bed.
