Thanks for the feedback guys - especially yours Matt. That makes me feel a lot better... Being late on an order is one thing, but worrying about the legitimacy of a company is entirely another. I will try to be patient for a while longer.

As fate would have it, I just recieved an answer to my latest email whereby SaltyDog discovered ("while packing my order") that they "made the wrong covers" - after a month and a half - and now they are rushing to make the correct covers and finally ship them out to me.

...very frustrating, but at least I no longer feel I have to worry about the actual purchase.

Thanks
