NEW & REFINED
Since our initial success with the Original Universal Lens Cap, we listened to your feedback and designed V2 from the ground up.
ELEMENT PROOF
Get dirty, your lens won't. With a tight seal around your lens MICRO & MAGNUM prevent water, mud, and the finest dust and sand from scratching & mucking up your lens. They also work as both a front & rear lens cap, never falling off and ensuring that your glass is always protected.
SHOCK ABSORBENT
MICRO & MAGNUM absorb most blunt-force trauma that could occur to both the front and exterior sides of the lens when bumped or even dropped at times. They can even stretch over traditional lens caps and stack on top of one another for additional impact protection.
LIFETIME REPLACEMENT WARRANTY
MICRO & MAGNUM are guaranteed to perform under the toughest conditions nature might throw at you. But if you have any issues, no sweat. We'll replace any of them for free... forever.
Will it work with lens hoods?
Oh you bet your bottom it does! Although from an initial glance it might not seem to work, the Universal Lens Cap does function with a lens hoods! If the lens hood is first mounted either in normal fashion or in reverse, the ULC can be stretched over it, covering it no problem! In fact, the ULC is more versatile than you might think!
Will it work with my lens?
99.99% chance it does! The Universal Lens Cap has a stretch range of 60mm to 150mm! In a nutshell, every lens has a diameter that is in between that range of 60mm and 150mm minus a few extremes on both ends. And if you're still apprehensive about it, click on the link below to view the comprehensive list of lenses that the ULC will cover! Chances are, your lens is on that list! :)
Is there a lip that keeps the cap off the glass?
The ULC does not come into contact with the front glass unless intentionally pressed to touch the glass or is taking a blow from dropping the lens. Dirt, by default, does not come with your packaged ULC. If dirt, fine sand or debris enters in the inside of the ULC, there is no need to worry. We’ve already infused a special coating into the material of the ULC, making it so any collected finely grained silent killers (dirt, sand, debris, etc.) can be washed off and dried, looking brand new, within seconds.
What if there is dirt on the inside (of the ULC) and that bit hugs the front of the glass very tightly?

Have you tried using this lens cap with any lenses that have a twist-on lens hood? E.g. with the lens hood on and reversed (my usual transit arrangement)?
I’d be worried that this would catch on the lip of the hood and make it a pain to remove. Yes, we have! We have stretched the ULC over Lens Hoods both ways and it works just fine! Not a pain to remove and it doesn’t catch the lip of the hood!
When the ULC is mounted on the lens (stretched onto the lens), what prevents it from touching the glass if the middle of the ULC is pushed into the lens?
It would be a problem with the Nikon 14-24, because of the large curvature of this lens. With the Nikon 14-24, what prevents the ULC from touching the glass is the uniquely shaped fixated lens hood. Nothing prevents the ULC from touching the front glass except for the lens’ filter ring or fixated lens hoods. We purposefully included a protruding circle in the middle of the ULC, acting as a shock-absorbent barrier incase the lens falls glass first onto concrete. In no way do we state that the ULC is SHOCK-PROOF or DROP-PROOF but it is SHOCK-ABSORBENT in the sense that does absorb shock and increase the chances of lenses working after having been dropped. Our intention was to create a ‘cushion’ for the shape and glass of any lens and it still works just fine for a large curvature shaped lens like the Nikon 14-24!
1. Provides greater aesthetic-, glass- and internal-protection to lenses.
2. Can stretch OVER the TLC creating a SUPER LENS CAP.
3. Ensures the TLC never falls off.

I feel like the ULC will take up more room in a photography bag or camera case. Is this true?
Nope! In fact, photographers have used the ULC as ways to better insulate their lenses, substitute the velcro walls for ULCs, and layer on multiple ULCs creating bumpers from other camera gear! If anything, it creates more room in your bag while increasing padding and protection for your gear.
