Vortex Defender Flip Cap Eyepiece is rated 4.0 out of 5 by 29.

Rated 5 out of 5 by VooDoo from Just got my new Vortex Defender Caps! These just arrived and I was skeptical/concerned about tightness and fit on my scope. Opened them today and installed on my Vortex Crossfire II 6-24X50 AO scope and they fit like a glove. Easy install and perfect fit. They snap open with a flick of my finger and look to be virtually indestructible as advertised. I'm a Vortex Fan anyway but these are absolutely 2 thumbs up.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mrfixxit from A fix for very tight caps that pull off I bought the cap yesterday for my vortex long-range scope. And right out of the box the cap was too stiff to pop open and it would almost slide off. I contacted support but then I realized the reason was the Caps were way too stiff is because the little lip on the cap was too big. I took a flat knife and gently scratched at the edge of the cap and in the inside of the mating surface. Then I proceeded to polish inside in outside lip and the cap now opens very easily and doesn't pull off with good tactile feel yet. I know this isn't ideal for new product but sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands when quality control is not 99%.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Irinel from Disappointed, will not even stay closed I just purchased a set of flip caps together with my new Strike Eagle, and the ocular one will not even snap closed. It just pops up open again, making it simply useless. I got 3 Vortex optics and a bunch of accessories, and it's the first let down. Not worthy to have the Vortex name on it, sorry....

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nate from Solid units The defender flip up covers are much more ridged and better made then a lot of other lens covers I have used and they are a great price to.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Matts from Durable Covers are durable and easy to use. Easy to flip open when needed and they don’t get in the way.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Notalocalpeople from Had high hopes. Didn't work for me Bought both the eyepiece and objective caps. After working with a rep to make sure I was getting the right sizes I have found that despite being correct for my Diamondback HP 3-12x42, these just don't work like they should. The collars are not tight enough to prevent the cap from slipping off the scope when being opened and one needs to use two hands to operate them. I get that they are tough, no question about that. However, in my usage, they have shown to be impractical and I had such high hopes for a product with the Vortex name on it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bergy29 from Great covers I recieved these as a gift for my AR and they have protected my scope multiple times. Best scope cover for the price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CBerger from Quality Scope Protection I have the defender flip caps on almost all of my rifle scopes. Yes all of them are Vortex. They are very impressive in that they will hold up to anything. If you don't already then I would suggest following Vortex Optics on Instagram. They did a story recently to show how much these caps could take and wow are they impressive!
