I just got my first tiny ding on my QC and am looking for a good protector. I’ve seen a couple posted here but nothing on Knk Shields which I just found yesterday. Anybody have experience? I really like the design. It attaches to the top with a couple washers to the exposed threads on the foot switches. Touch screen is covered with a piece that attaches/detaches with magnets. There’s a YouTube review from a guy in Sweden. Looks pretty solid.
They are based out of Poland. You can only order them by direct messaging via Instagram or Facebook (don’t love this). Cost is 96 USD after shipping and PayPal fees.
Can’t say anything about the QC covers, but the FM9 ones are great! Precisely cut, fitting perfectly and pretty robust. It’s under 80€ in Europe, including shipping and PayPal, IIRC. Ordering via PM worked as well.
That’s great to hear! I was hoping there would be some success stories out there. I think I’m going to pull the trigger and get one. Thanks so much for the reply!
I have one of the KNK shields mounted on my QC. Like alexsa said: The production quality is very good. There is a little gap between the cover and the QC around the place where the cover is bend. But I think the angle of the cover is intentionally a bit sharper than the angle of the surface of the QC, since the cover is only attached at the angled part. This ensures that there is some contact pressure on the upper part. But overall it does a great job protecting your QC.
Thanks for sharing! And for the picture. It looks great. Glad to hear more positive feedback for their product. I ordered mine the other day after reading alexsa’s comment
Update. Received the shield. It took ~12 business days to arrive. I was a bit concerned at first because it’s warped looking in free state. But after installing with the 2 provided nuts per the instructions it’s in a decent condition and I feel my QC is protected. I am satisfied and would recommend.
Are your products only purchased on PayPal? If so, that sucks. You need to get hooked up with Sweetwater and you guys would BLOW UP! I was ready to purchase one a bit ago. But PayPal took the wind out of my sails.
What is the negative of going through Paypal? Although it would be nice to have their stuff on Sweetwater, Paypal seems like a pretty good option too. Using paypal is free. It lets you use whatever debit/credit card you want to use and adds protection for the buyer so it’s easier to get refunded if something goes wrong. In fact, as a buyer I don’t even think you need a Paypal account to buy things. I know because I send my invoices through Paypal for my business.
But what are some downsides? Maybe I’m missing something.
In a similar vein, did anyone try Acrylicos Pedaleras in Spain ?
I like the hinge mechanism for the screen a little bit more than the removable window from the KnK, but I have kinda cold feet from not seeing much feedback regarding quality and the seller as a whole.
Not sure if this is directed at me but nothing wrong with PayPal.
My original reservation about buying Knk was the way you had to initiate a sale.
You had to direct message their Instagram or Facebook.
Then you had to PayPal them some money and they would ship you the product.
It just seemed very unofficial so I came here to look for success stories which I found.
It worked out for me and I am still happy with my shield.
Today it seems they have a website that you can buy directly from.
So maybe that part has been improved.
Oh okay, that makes a lot more sense now. I just placed my order a few days ago and it seemed to be a regular process. I chose PayPal as my payment method. I didn’t realize they had such an informal way of doing it before lol. Thanks for the clarification.
Edit: It was directed at Reyzor333. Still trying to get the that hang of this forum lol
Hi everyone!
Maybe this could help in some ways, I make these wood protectors to have a different look on your QC, I also can customize them with some logos or letters and so on!
If interested you can order them messaging me on IG here:
