Re: G7X "lens cap" getting stuck?

My G7X lens cover got jammed and I had to send it to Canon for repair.  The same thing happened to a friend shortly thereafter.  Since receiving mine back, I bought a 60mm slip on lens cap to protect the front cover which, in my opinion, is too fragile.  The front diameter of the G7X is probably about 58mm, so I built up the inside of the 60mm lens cap with a bit of the fuzzy part of some stick-on velcro.  I can now slip the camera into my pocket or in a bag with other items with less worry about damaging the Canon lens cover mechanism.
