first thing i do with EPMP, it looks like it would apply here too is pull the cover off, throw away thi little clear plastic thing and tape the cover to the mount with two or three wraps of tape.this way its not in your hand or pocket and never ends up on the ground, plus if you ever have to service it, theres the tape to stick it back into
