I am looking for the hot shoe cover for my Olympus e500. I lost the little piece and can't find it anywhere! If anybody out there can help me so I can order one, it would be appreciated!!!
But call them and ask them to ship it US Postal Service. They're so cheap...why pay the UPS bill. I ordered a dozen last year and had them send it USPS.
I know it seems like a rip-off ($2.49 for only one) - but they're one of the only games in town, so you got to bear with it. I buy lots of little odds and ends from Porters camera. Since you can easily lose the flash shoe protector cap, I always have lots around in case. Others will say they don't worry about it and leave their's open (I'm the worrying type so I always keep mine covered).

Have a great day!
"And I really, really hate this little, pesky piece of plastic, protecting the hot shoe from dirt and elements. I already lost six of those (replacements are available from Olympus at $7 or so apiece.)"
A reason for these things simply does not exist, except for making the company money when they sell you a replacement. I'd be happy to send you the 10 or so I got with cameras, but I tossed them. They're absolutely useless and unnecessary. Don't waste a dime on a replacement.
