I have made my own without a plastic tube and don't have any issues, but I made mine with the truck tarp bungie and it has a fabric cover on it. If I understand right under the cover on the snobungie there is just a bunch of small elastic bands, probably wouldn't travel well without it if that is the case.
I cut mine off, so I could fit it in my tunnel bag. Haven't had any problems with it in 3 years. Folds up allot smaller without the plastic.
If your worried about storage space, I just wrapped mine around the bumper. I don't see any reason you couldn't cut the plastic off, it's just a series of bunje cords inside.
MORSNO, that stays in there all day? dosent fall out and go missing occiasianly?
Doesn't move at all. The plastic cover provides enough tension to keep it wedged in there pretty good.

Thanks for the replies, I am skinning the snobunje this weekend.. if you know what I mean
The plastic cover isn't there to protect the bunje cords...it's there to keep it from smackin yo balls when the hook accidentally comes off the ski hook at full yank... Think about what you might be sack-ro-ficing.

yeah I think it is there to keep it from smacking the crap out of you if one of the cords break or come loose
That is just what I was thinking.

Or to protect the chords themselves.
elastic cords like that are very sensative to little cuts and knicks in the side of them. it doesnt take much of a ding in the material to cause it to break.. starter cracks grow very easily under high levels of tension.. and yes.. I know mine has come off many times and would have busted me in the nuts if it wasnt for the plastic.. kina bulky.. but not bad at all.. I just hook mine throught itself on the rear bumper then put the hook to the gas rack.. simple and out of the way.
I have 3 of the 'double hook' variety. I cut the plastic off all three. It's there to limit cord damage but more to kill off the sling-shot experience. We always have our vests and helmets on when we use them so don't really worry about that. Removing the plastic not only make them easy to stow, but I like to be able to inspect the cords and make sure they aren't getting frayed.

I cut that bulky cover, no problems, nuts still intack!
a bicycle inner tube works well as a sleeve for the bunje cords

It's all fun and games till someone looses an eye !!!!
I fold it in half and stick it in the handle of the doo fuel caddy and it never moves.
