I'm using this to cover a couple Tiffen filters and a Lensmate adapter I purchased for my S3 IS. It works perfectly, just loses a star for the lack of a tether.

I always take an extra Cap in my bag for my lenses. Just in case you lose the one on the lens, it's not really worth damaging your lens, or probably even your filter. Some caps that come with filter sets are 'usable' on the canon lenses / protective filters, but often they just fit better when used with the filter they came with, so i tend to shy away from this approach experimentally. I would like to see a 3 or 4 way cap with that many tabs, so when you brush it, it doesn't just come off, but of course this might make it harder to take off than is desirable.
Summary:
+ Fits properly.
- Cost (should be at most $4 MSRP).
- No 'cap keeper' included.

What can I say? It's a lens cap that does what it's supposed to do. I lost the lens cap for one of my Canon lens' (feel overboard on a boat) and I ordered a replacement from Amazon. It fit perfectly as I expected it would...

I can't help but give the lens cap 5 stars, what can I say, it fits, it covers the lens and keeps the dust out. The bad part about purchasing from this place was paying as much in postage as for the cap itself but it was hard to find elsewhere. I also could not have it delivered here on Fort Wainwright Alaska because I'm only allowed a PO Box so I had to have it shipped to my home in New York and then had them send it on to me-go figger.
