I too am looking at tonneau covers. It's a really tough choice, there are a million of them!!! There is one made by extang that is called a "full tilt" model, it tilts up (it has struts to hold it open), or it comes completely off in like 20 seconds, or it rolls up if you want it to, and it allows your tailgate to be opened, but most of them do.
I've heard that the velcro they use on the "tri-fold" models does NOT stick, it peels up from the edges, and it is an ongoing problem that just happens over and over. I would rather have the aluminum frame style that clamps to the bed, with snaps on the cover, which is what the Extang Full Tilt model has, or one of the "J style" attaching covers. And despite what people say about snaps being hard to snap in the cold, and that the covers shrink or they stretch, I have never had any of those problems with previous covers. Keep the cover clean and conditioned and it'll do exactly what you need it to, hot or cold weather. This Extang is about $350.00 roughly, depending on where you choose to buy. Summit Racing is the cheapest at $321.00 but they don't have any!!!
