Manual Case for Owner's Manual?

[wireman]

I read the manual on my phone.

You have better eyes than this old goat.

I purchased mine for $10 from Helm Inc: Ford Portfolio - Helm Incorporated
Cheers!

My owners manual was in that same cover when I purchased my Badlands in 2021.

I got a bare manual with my May 23 build BL. If if I had known about this in advance, I'd have grabbed the manual cover from my C-Max before I traded it in.

Still, I'm not in the glove compartment very often, so I'm not bothered about the lack of a cover.

In addition to the paper manual kept in the car, I download the PDF version for reading on my home computer.
The downloadable version of the 2024 Bronco Sport Owner's Manual has just been made available on the Ford site.

The HTML online version has been on line for a short while, but not the downloadable PDF version. It is found under the Previous Printing section.

I was told by Ford that most vehicles will no longer come with one.

So I kept the old vehicle zipper case before selling and bought a few more zippered ones (my preference rather than the Velcro flap version) off eBay. None I could find are new; price per is about $15-17.

We have one for our 21 BB. But what difference does it make when it sits in the door pocket or glove box out of site most of the time.

Every now and then, it comes in handy for identifying a bulb or fuse replacement..

What I meant was what difference does it make whether or not you have the manual cover. I definitely want a manual in the vehicle.

My 22 Badlands had no cover. Like @JAD67428 said, the one from my 2006 Escape worked perfect.

My 2021 Badlands had a cover, but my 2022 did not. I asked and was told they stopped doing that. If I'd known that, I'd have taken the cover from the manual in what was left of my totaled 2021 ...

I received a cover with my 21 Badlands but I never use the manual as it’s available on the FordPass app and I find that much more convenient than flipping through a book. The hardcopy manual is becoming redundant.

I think that “redundant” is a goal for a lot of gray haired regulars in the forum? We like to think of it as “prepared”.

Not sure I understand what you mean but I have gray hair and I certainly don’t require a hard copy of the manual. There are easier ways to access the Owner’s Manual.

A case keeps the manual from getting damaged if it were just being tossed around in the glove box.

I got a nice glove box organizer from High Road on Amazon. They have a collection of organizers that I find to be far nicer than the Bronco branded offerings from Ford.

I just ordered a case on eBay that included a manual for a 2014 E-Series van, for around $10. The contents were all shrink wrapped from the factory, so it was probably discarded from a fleet vehicle or something similar.
