door hing covers

Has anyone tried the reusable plastic door hing covers? I've seen them in the paint stores, but never tried them,. Just wondering it they are worth a darn?

I got a couple of freebies to try, so gave them to my foreman to test drive.

Our SOP is to remove doors from hinges, and remove all hardware, leaving it a 'blank'.

I left, and came back, and asked how the hinge covers worked. He said it took less time to zip off the hinges than to figure out how the covers would pop on and stay on. So I chucked them.

That is kinda what I thought. We clear the doors also, but was just wondering if these were easier. Guess I got my answer real quick.
Thanks

Another thing that is new on the market is from 3M.
They make hinge covers with the blue tape they are famous for (2090).
The difference is they are at least twice as thick as normal blue tape to make them easier to apply and reposition.  They also have the same blue tape for corners on window panes. Both are very reasonably priced.
