I recently changed my UW camera from an old low-resolution Sony to a Canon G12 with Canon housing. The new housing is much bigger and has a fairly large front panel that seems prone to getting scratched or even damaged in a variety of situations - even in the rinse bucket on the boat when in together with other cameras and equipment.
So I rigged up a flip type front cover, held in place by a velcro tab both in the open and closed position.
It took me about 2 hours to make and glue to the housing.
Very easy to use and gives me a lot of peace of mind - especially when swimming close to rocks in surge.
Note that the velcro has to be on the right side to avoid interference with the diffusor that blocks the top and left side.
