    Just received my toughbook cf-19 from ebay, it contains no rubber, everything is plastic.

    Is this normal, as I thought it would be all rubber...

    Thanks!

    The only areas where there would be rubber is the seal around the covers, and a rubber keyboard if you have that option. The weak part of the CF-19 is the black covers on the LCD screen (it breaks easily if droped or bumped very hard).

    Rubber seals and feet... Sometimes Rubber LCD bumpers on some models. That's about it. The rest is Nylon... Not plastic. There IS a dfference.
