does this stay in plastic sleeve?

Yes. I use 2 in a tank. It's a magnet that keeps calcium ions from forming large crystals that causes hard water rings in toilet bowls in hard water areas. You still have to clean the bowl. Just take it out of the bag and drop into tank away from moving parts. Full plastic sleeve cannot be removed. Viola! You're done.

Yes, there is no opening. You just drop it in the tank and walk away. I've had hard water/mineral trouble with my well water for twenty years...noticed a difference within a week. I won't be without them again! Even the OLD stains are fading.

Yes, it still fits in the sleeve that I am using. It did not add substantial bulk.

The sleeve is plastic and is made so you can take the pole out and move it to a new location. That bit of plastic although sturdy makes the setup less stiff. I put mine up with the sleeve and it isn't a problem however, no one hangs on this and it is not absolutely still on longer bank or poor shots. Not a problem for our yard.

It is held in place by magnetic attraction. With a sleeve on I doubt the magnet would be strong enough to keep it in place.

Dear Treehugr, I see where it mentions a silicone cover but I didn't notice the part about an included sleeve. I know the sleeve is an optional purchase. Sorry for any confusion. Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

It does . The instructions say that you should attach the enclosed grate to the back of the sleeve. Since my air conditioner sticks out past the building I could not use it.

Yes. The clear plastic sleeve does turn white after a few months outside though.

The hard plastic sleeve is to keep the screw in place especially at the start. This is because the holder bit has no magnet on it. The step is: 1-push the sleeve all the way back; 2- put the screw in; 3-pull the sleeve forward a little bit enough for the screw not to fall out; 4-start screwing with the sleeve forward. The sleeve will push itself backward automatically as the screw goes in. You can only do this provided that the screw fit inside the sleeve.

Mine came with a very lightweight plastic sleeve with a plastic snap closure. It is a throwaway item. The wrench is great.

It is a very rigid plastic sleeve. It held up well as we kept our Universal Studios tickets/room keys in them during a recent visit.

The sleeve is in a permanent position and does not slide off. It is aesthetic and has no function except to appear like a coffee house disposable cup. the cup is plastic and doesn't transmit heat enough to warrant the sleeve.

Mine did without using the included sleeve because I have the slim protective case on it. If there is not a protective case, then the sleeve must be put on every time. Any other protect case might not work with this charger.

I use mine with the silicone sleeve on. It fits okay, but makes it a little harder to put in, I have to fiddle more with it. BTW been using that way for about 2 years now.

No, it doesn't. But it stays on snug enough that when liquid is being poured out it doesn't come off.

No sleeve, I drilled out the back of my dish lighter and inserted this -used epoxy to hold in place

Yes!! The only part that this sleeve doesn't cover is inside of your arm, below the armpit to the elbow. It really needs time to freeze between applications though - but it gets nice and cold.

No sleeve, but I keep it in my knife block so it's protected. Really good for cutting thin cheese.
