All other instrument suppliers included a sun cover. You do not list it as an addition option. Also there should be a choice of extension lead lengths, the ones provided are no where near long enough to get to the nav table. I have had to buy additional lengths.
Response from SailProof
Hi! I'm not sure to understand which kind of "sun cover" you're mentioning (we supply a cover for the screen in option, I don't know any other PC Screens providers who provide a cover; and not all our clients want a cover, that's why it's an option).
Regarding cables, it's not recommended to use longer cables because it reduce the charging capacity. Moreover it's not recommended to charge the tablet in the cockpit, as an open port cancels the waterproofness. In this case, we suggest to choose our models with waterproof charging (supplied with a waterproof charging socket to be installed int he cockpit).

I would still like some information regarding the battery life. Contrary to the specification, the battery lasts about 15-20 hours during navigation (according to the manufacturer's specification, it should last about twice as long).

Had to buy a second battery at almost $200.00 because bright screen pulls too on the much battery. You can't charge the battery without the tablet. Not the best for sailing in bright daylight. Recommend a couple of cheaper tablets for redundancy.
Response from SailProof
Our spare battery costs $65.23, you paid $118 with the delivery costs from Belgium. Unfortunately, your fantastic president decided to add huge tariffs, we can't be responsible for that...
For the rest, battery life is as advertised (about 6 to 7 hours at 100% brightness), we extensively inform about this on our website because yes, a 1000 nits screen drains a lot of power and you have to take this into account.

The very first startup is long, it's a bit stressful. But after that, the tablet is totally in line with what one could hope for: good screen visibility, super practical strap on the back, great confidence in protection against shocks and humidity (even if I haven't really dared to test it yet!). The only downside is the sound, but we didn't buy this tablet for that.

I do take some responsibility myself, in that I didnt realise my order was being shipped from outside the UK meaning I had import charges over £200! My parcel was held in customs and they didnt release it until I provided proof of my purchase , I was threatened with daily storage charges and import tax. I contacted Sailproof for advise as I thought it was a scam at first. After 2 emails ( this is the only means of contact) I had no response. This left me very stressed and in the meantime charges were incurring on storage by UPS. I thought at this stage it was a problem that needed to be resolved by Sailproof as UPS advised me they had put the incorrect cost on the items enclosed in the package. The item cost me over £200 ! More than expected and Sailproof need not respond or care. I had no choice to pay the ever increasing charges than to otherwise loose £900 on the original order. I will never use them again.. I am appalled at their non communication.
Response from SailProof
Dear Sally,
we answered your message exactly 1 hour and 20 minutes after you sent it. And we sent 2 other messages in the following days, without any answer. As you know, it's always possible that messages arrive in your spam folder. For the rest, it's possible to create a support ticket in our help center (what was done when you sent your email anyway) and find our answers there. Moreover, we also contacted UPS to check if there was any issue with the import taxes calculation.
For the rest, yes, since Brexit, you have to pay the English VAT when the parcel enter the country (but we didn't invoice you any local VAT, unlike EU clients). And there is a warning about this in red letters at the top of the check-out page.

The tablet was delivered quickly and has a very robust impression. The display is very bright, but it reflects a lot. This is certainly a real disadvantage in direct sunlight. Therefore, one star deduction.

Product conforms to the description. The only downside is the delivery method. Since I was not home when the delivery person came, they threw the package over the neighbor's gate. Fortunately, no one stole it and the tablet seems to be fine (apparently). Delivery to a pickup point would be preferable...

Generally content but still uncertain that the charger I ordered alongside this is necessary. It would have been useful to be given more information as to what is included within the iPad pack.
Response from SailProof
Hi Alison,
I'm really sorry to hear about the charger. In our product description, the last line describes the "included accessories":
- US/EU/UK/Australian power adaptor
- USB-C cable
- USB-A to DC jack cable
- Hand strap
Perhaps the terms "power adaptor" are not sufficiently specific. Anyway, I have refunded the charger cost to your credit card ;-)

So far I am pleases with my new tablet. The shopping experience was pretty standard and the communication from SailProof acceptable. My one regret was in not researching the total cost more. For importing this tablet into the the United States, I found out too late that there is a $260 customs fee that must be paid because we have an idiot for a president. OUCH!
Response from SailProof
Hi William,
we are very sorry about Tariffs. We try to inform our client as accurately as possible, we have added a warning at check-out, with the last available information, but as changes are sometimes pretty unexpected, we can't confirm that this information is always 100% accurate. Taxes have been lowered with the last decision dated on April 5 (see here: https://content.govdelivery.com/bulletins/gd/USDHSCBP-3db9e55?wgt_ref=USDHSCBP_WIDGET_2). As you bought the tablet before this decision, but receive it afterwards, perhaps interesting to check if you can't claim for a refund?
Kind regards,
JM

My experience with the SailProof team has been great... both before I purchased the tablet and then after placing the order. I had a few questions as I was considering this product versus a traditional MFD, and they were answered promptly and professionally. This really made a difference in the overall experience and of course, my decision. There is no doubt that this is a serious company making serious products for sailors. I have yet to get out on the water, but the build quality is exceptional, and to be certain, this is not just a repackaged Android tablet but rather a purpose-built solution for the challenges of a harsh marine environment. I am looking forward to a great summer of sailing and using the SailProof tablet. Thanks.
