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.

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.

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.

Fell apart within minutes

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.

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.

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.

Lens cap keeper
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
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.

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.

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