I do if you want to send one my way.

The pressure release is the only change that has been made to the WPS units. Early units had the turn knob, now they have a button.

WPS500 Protective Bumpers
Reply #19 - Apr 13^th, 2013 at 12:10pm

My protective bumpers for my WPS500 arrived this week and I thought I would share a few pictures and thoughts.

They seem to be made of pretty good rubber that would absorb most drops. Even though they are two separate pieces, they stay on very well so far. The top one has a cutout for the power button and the bottom one has a cutout on the side for the release valve, but the cutout is a little off. I plan on trimming it a little more to fit around the release button a little better. Overall I think its a great idea and am glad to have them. Any protection I can have to protect my investment is always appreciated.

Thanks Tom and Brian!

Oh and I almost forgot. The top bumper covers the usb charging port, which at first, I wasn't sure if I liked that or not. But after thinking about it for awhile, I've decided that I am happy about it covering the charging port. It keeps dust and dirt out of the port and bumper easily slides up enough to charge it. And besides, I don't know how well it would stay on if it had a cutout for the charging port.

Thanks for the write-up Scott,

Your prototype didn’t have the button hole placed quite right; we've improved the placement to minimize spreading of the bumper in that area.

We felt the same about leaving the charging port covered.

We are hoping to have a batch ready to go this week, $10.00 + $5.00 to ship in a USPS priority flat rate box within the U.S. Priority boxes usually arrive in 2-3 days and we haven’t lost one yet.

Thanks again for the prototype! I'm definitely not complaining about the button hole. Nothing a little exacto knife can't fix. Smiley
