Fake Head Unit Cover

I just recently bought the Pioneer X940BT from Amazon (47% off right now) and, being on a college campus, thought it would be wise to find some kind of cover or locking system to prevent it from being seen/taken.

I found this and wondered if anyone has any experience with these or has any alternatives. 15 bucks seems like a good investment to make to hopefully protect an expensive head unit.

Im guessing its held on by a suction cup from the description? Turn the knob and the suction cup will attach to the screen?? maybe...

There are a few ways to put it on. just straight put it on, suction (not recommended), or I think it also comes with a little tab that sticks out of the top of the HU and the faceplate hangs on there with velcro.

I dunno, just want to hear everyone's opinion on these. They do look a little too fake to me.
