This lens cap keeper is very handy, as it sticks pretty well to the Nikon LC 52 snap on front lens cap. It fits snugly on the stock 18-55 lens of the Nikon D60 more info

Does a Great Job At a Very Reasonable Price
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The lense cap on my Cannon SX10 is has no lanyard cord and is very easy to loose. The Bower lense cap keeper saved the loss of the lense cap countless times. It very quickly and simply adhears to the lense cap with the peel off sticky tape. Very simple to install. Great price and a very good product!

A simple inexpensive solution to a vexing problem

Why didn’t Canon put some kind of tether on the lens cap. It is so easy to misplace. The Bower CK501 Lens Cap Keeper keeps the lens cap attached to the camera.

Piece of crap
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I spent more for the shipping on this item than the item itself (because it is a drop-ship item and did not qualify for free shipping). I put it on the camera & then headed out to shoot some photos. Literally the first time I removed the lens-cap from my camera,the elastic band broke that secures it to the cap. I managed to tie the remaining cord to my camera strap, so I am still using it. But the sticky-dot often falls off of the cap & I find the lens cap on the ground. Save your money! I’m thinking I may be able to drill a small hole in the cap & tie a longer string through that to my strap…could work!

It’s cheap and it works

I think the title sums it up. So far my lens cap has been kept.

Great idea and useful!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
The lens cap holder does its job. It secures the lens cap to the camera. I have the Canon SX10 and lost my lens cap. When I purchased the replacement lens cap for $10 I also ordered this item. Upon reading some reviews, I decided to add a drop of krazy glue before applying the product to the new lens cap. It is definitely on the cap securely. Works for me!

lens cap is a keeper!

What an awesome idea. It works perfectly! Now, that’s the way we like it – uh huh!

Necessary accessory for loose lens caps
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I purchased this lens leash for my Canon SX 10 IS. Would have been nice if included with any camera that has a detachable lens cover. It does it’s job and was inexpensive but shipping was costly, at three times the price of the lens cap keeper. Still it’s much cheaper than replacing the lens cap, or scratching your camera lens while waiting for a replacement cover after losing the one supplied with your camera.

Lens cap keeper

If you buy the Cannon SX10 this is a must have – the lens is not attached to the camera so this lens keeper is just the right solution – works perfectly.

Keeper falls off zoom lens
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
The lens cap keeper is “attached” to the lens via an elastic band. The problem is that when the lens is retracted, there is little room for the band and it easily falls off the lens.

However, for the price you cant complain too much.

Waste of money, even if it’s only $1.84
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Don’t waste your money on this poorly-made, cheap, Chinese piece of junk. As soon as I took it out of the package and handled it, the cord ripped. The cord is very flimsy and where it is clamped to the elastic band the sharp teeth from the clamp cut into the cord.

This product will not hold up. The corny silver ring sticker also fell off within minutes, and the adhesive is very weak.

Simply put, this is another cheap, mass-produced, foreign product that is a WASTE of money.

Do yourself a favor and look for a better solution, I know I will. This a cheap product that shouldn’t be on any high-end digital camera.

Fell apart within minutes
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I bought this item because my digital camera did not come with a lens keeper strap. This item fell apart within minutes of putting it on my camera. I would not buy this item, nor recommend it to anyone.

Broken in Minutes
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
This cap keeper arrived quickly, looked good, and broke almost immediately. The elastic meant to hold the keeper around lens fell apart as soon as I tried to stretch it around my lens.

Does its job well!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I could not believe that my Canon SX10IS camera did not have a Cap Leash when I purchased it, so I ordered this little item. I noted that some of the reviewers complained that the felt did not stick so I did as one suggested and put a dab of crazy glue on it, attached it to the cap, and it worked like a charm. I love not putting the lens cover away and then trying to remember where it was — Canon did not get this right — if Fuji can attach a lens keeper, Canon could have too — but this leash does the job and I am pleased.

held up for about a month
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I love using a lens cap leash, they’ve saved me tons of money in lens caps over the years. This one, however, only held up for about a month before the plastic circle detached from its adhesive. I’m just going to use some superglue to attach it again, but was a bit disappointed about that.
