Similar experience here. I've had All Condition Armadillos, (700 x 28), on my bike for the past eight months, and have had one flat. Strangely, it was a small thin wire that punctured the tire, when I had run over glass, nails, and screws with no problems at all. Armadillos are not puncture proof but they come pretty darn close.

BTW - a 20 mile round trip for a new commuter is pretty impressive. Are you riding in every day or just a few times a week?
