They're good but easily scratched,I bought the leather holder and try to keep the protectors you get with it,like me and @kreigh said, wet and dry.

I've got a belle mixer,shocking after sales, mine packed in after 3 months, took it to tp hire ( who I bought it off) wouldn't touch it, so had to send it belle via tp as under guarantee,supposedly, belle said the cable was damaged, nothing visible just internal twisted so it wasn't covered...
