You can order the protektor the same way or any way you want it. I like the super slick material also. MattI've used a small Protecktor all leather, an Edgewood Cordura, and just bought a Seb Bigfoot with the 3-M slick ears. I much prefer the Bigfoot over the others. The reason I prefer the Seb over the Edgewood is that the Seb base and top 'riding' surface are parallel to each other. All are good quality bags for sure.
