I have an Extang Solid Fold cover. I spent a lot of time researching covers and decided this was best for my needs. It takes about 3 minutes to remove or put back on. It has spring loaded clamps near the bed and thumb screw style clamps in the front. The only time I find it a hassle is when we haul our bikes on a trip, then I take it off and put it inside the trailer and put it back on after I unload the bikes. A bit cumbersome to do. Just taking it off and leaving it at home is no big deal though.
Otherwise I love this cover. When it's closed no one can see what's in the bed, and it locks with the tailgate lock. There is no hardware to install so when it's removed I have full access to the bed. I can stand on it which comes in handy now and again. And it never blocks the window.
