Skytrak Armour is an all metal protective case for SkyTrak Launch monitors. 8lbs. of steel sits very nice on any surface. This is a 2 piece design with a .125" thk top enclosure and .375" thk base. The enclosure that protects the SkyTrak is over twice as thick as anything on the market. The case is fully adjustable and 100% protective. Purchase includes a top enclosure, a base plate, hold down hardware for mounting the SkyTrak, 3 inches of neoprene foam padding, and 3" long leveling feet. Skytrak Armour is a crowd sourced project developed here: ***This listing will be make to order until I can create a buffer stock. Currently 2 weeks from order placement.***Below is one of the comparison/reviews that you will find in my thread on GSF.I ordered this case when Gary first announced the price. After he hit a production delay, I cancelled my order and got an FMJ instead. I had family coming to town and wanted some protection ASAP. I also own the Skytrak plastic case. Gary emailed me earlier this week and said he was shipping me a case free of charge. He had one that got pitted during fabrication, and couldnt be sold that way.Here is my review/comparison of all 3 cases.-------------------------------------------
Sktrak Plastic case
-------------------------------------------Price = $129Build Quality = Thin cheap plastic. Ok build other than the material choice.Accuracy = Does not affect shot detection as there is nothing covering the window.Protection = Its a one-hit wonder. Case will likely break if hit with a ball. Open window area means you are vulnerable. Wifi = no issues. Conclusion = I am sorry I paid $129 for this case, and I hope Skytrak feels guilty for selling at it this price. I never felt confident in the case. Dont buy it.

FMJ case (from the other thread on this forum)
-------------------------------------------Price = $95 shippedBuild Quality = Great. Everything lines up. Good paint job.Accuracy = I have not noticed a single missed shot or bad read since using this unit for the last few weeks. Yes it has bars protecting the window, but they do not cause any issues in reading shots as far as I can tell.Protection = 90%. There is one concern..the bars covering the window. They are thin, I think they will bend if struck. I just did a test, I held the case in my lap and took a golf ball, and threw it a few times down against the bars in the center of the window. Not hard throws at all. In just a few impacts, the bars bow inwards and are now slightly bent. That is with a 10mph toss from 2 inches above the case. A 60+ mph golf shot will bend these bars no question. Will it damage the skytrak? I doubt it, but it might.Wifi = no issues..open back.Conclusion = A good case. But the window protection leaves me with a small amount of doubt.-------------------------------------------
Armour case
-------------------------------------------Price = $150 + shippingBuild Quality = Super thick metal. It must weigh 15 pounds. Good finish. Everything fits together perfectly. The cut out for Skytrak window is perfectly aligned, the bottom screw holes for skytrak mounting screws are perfectly aligned. There is some adhesive padding inside the case to give the skytrak a little buffer. Even the cutout for the skytrak bubble-level is so precise its amazing. The level just pokes out a tiny bit from the top of the case, and it fits so snuggly, it looks very professional. Accuracy = I have hit a few dozen shots in the Skytrak range, and have not had any bad reads or no reads. Since the window is not obstructed, I dont believe accuracy is affected in any way.Protection = 100%. You cannot protect a skytrak any more than this. This is literally bullet-proof, for some calibers. The window is open, but is just small enough to prevent a ball from entering. I did the same test as I did on the FMJ...throwing a ball directly at the window (with the skytrak inside). The ball didnt come into contact with the skytrak screen. I put some spray powder on the ball, and none was transferred to the skytrak....I am confident that a ball wont hit the skytrak even it hits the window dead-center at high speed.Wifi = no issues, open back.Conclusion = The best case you can get. Removes all fear of having a $2000 skytrak in the line of fire. ------------------------------------------Thank you again Gary for sending me a case. Jeff
