I don't know what you would call it, but I'm looking for one that It looks matte black and it's like a material, not the leathery shiny look. Anyone know of a brand that makes this kind for our rigs? If anyone has one could you post a pic? Thanks a lot.

A soft cover? Most are pretty similar. Just don't shine it with Armor All (or whatever) and it will have a satin black appearance. I have the Undercover hard tonneau cover and it has a satin black textured finish.

Yeah it's a soft cloth like black cover. I guess it's some kinda vinly but the top isn't shiny. Well I'll keep researching.

It almost looks like the same material of a convertible top.

I had the Extang Trifold Signature series (convertible top) on my Ranger for 7+ years and it was very nice. Looks very similar to your pics. Held up well, though the corners did start to curl after a bit, but never came up.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get it from?
Also do you have any pics of it on your truck?

This is the American Tonneau cover I picked up from a buddy. It's like a vinyl material that has 3 sections that fold back onto itself. there are 2 clips that hold it in place if folded up so it won't unfold while driving.

I ordered it from Autoanything.com. It was the cheapest with a 10% promo code plus a $25 rebate from Lund if purchased by 3/31. It came with a tailgate seal($30 value) and a clamp lock. The Extang didn't come with those extras. I had the Truxedo lo pro qt, which was a decent cover...but I got tired of the Velcro sides. This lund is my first tri-fold, so I hope in the long run it lives up to my expectations. No pics yet, I just installed it Wednesday. I plan on cleaning up the Ram this weekend and will get some pics.

Those look nice too. I had an extang black max on my 05. Non folding. It was still on there when I sold it a couple weeks ago and still looked great. But rarely ever took it off. I don't really need a folding cover. If I could find one like that lund genesis elite but non folding maybe it would be cheaper. I'm a little weary of the folding soft tops about in the long run not fitting As tight. Or getting creases. Idk.

Lund makes a roll up version of the Elite with the fabric black pearl tarp also. Not sure if the roll up is cheaper than the folding cover.

I don't know anything about tonneau covers as I have never had one before this one, and the only reason I got this one is because my buddy ordered one for his F150 and the company sent him one for 2013 RAM on accident. They didn't ask him to return it so he sold it to me for $70. Couldn't pass it up. But my guess is that any cover made of a soft material is meant for folding or rolling up. If you are looking for something that won't fold or roll, I'd look for a hard material cover like the Undercover Wandell posted.
