Does anyone make slip-on rubber feet to protect plastic landing pads - front, back, and bottom for the MA2?
 
See PGYTECH. I GOT MY LANDING GEAR THERE.
 
Amazon MA2 accessories.
 
I use a 10'' Tab S4. No problems and no strain on antenna support.

I found 3/8" rubber thread protectors on eBay for $5 free shipping.

I put a thin foam tape on the bottom rear skids.

I drew these up yesterday and print them in TPU. I can post them to Thingiverse if someone wants to print them. I also drew up protectors for the rear skids, I'll test print them once I'm done printing a tablet mount for someone.

What exactly are you guys trying to prevent? After several hundred flights off of asphalt and concrete, looking at the bottom of my drone, I can assure you that all of the moving parts will wear out long before the landing gear.

Seems like a solution in search of a problem that does nothing more than weigh down your drone.

Just my opinion.

I'm doing it just as a preventative measure, the 4 - 3D printed feet weigh less than 3 grams total so weight isn't an issue.

Preventative measure to prevent what? The landing gear will never show significant signs of wear over the lifetime of the drone.
