Get a Roll n lock. It is a combo of a soft and hard cover. It is fully retractable and fits flush. No messing with trying to snap a cover close in the winter when it contracts. Only problem it is about 2x the cost. I have transferred mine to its 3rd different truck with no problems

I just put on a Leer cap.
Here is the link to some pictures

I, the same as you, needed a secure area for tools

In winter time, where I live I have known guys to have probs with a roll top with washing their truck and it freezing.
Not saying it would be a problem where you live, but something to keep in mind

Go with one of the retractable hard ones like big player said. Ive taken knives and hammers trying to break them when testing them out for my dad's company. Plus if you need to haul something big, you dont have to remove the whole thing. Just make sure you get a tailgate seal kit becuase the tanneau cover creates a suction force, sucking water, dust, salt etc. inside the bed.

Do you happen to know if Leer makes one of those for the Flareside? That is the exact type of cover I want, I'm just hoping its not as hard to find as the Flareside was.
