Re: hot shoe cover?

[Paul Stenquist]

The *istD comes with a hot shoe cover. I took it off and threw it away. 
When I need the hot shoe, I don't want to have to fuss with the cover. 
If you remove it, what will yo do on those seldom occasions when you do 
use it?

snagging skin and clothing? One of the great features of the original

cover. I
would remove the shoes from my cameras but that probably would open the
prism to light and dirt. Any ideas?
