Kickstarter: KUVRD Universal Lens Cap v2, Early Bird Still Available

As seen on Kickstarter: the KUVRD Universal Lens Cap is back, with a new v2 project. They’ve taken their very functional lens cap design (a silicone sleeve that wraps around your lens, protecting it from dust and water) and improved it further. The new v2 comes in two sizes — “Magnum” and “Micro”, is made with a stretchier and stronger material, and a features a white ‘X’ which is user-colorable to help with organization. Overall a very innovative product, improving on a first generation that did very well in an initial campaign.

Several different tiers of super early bird backer rewards are still available (for now). Six caps for $84, eight caps for $100, or 12 caps for $120 are still orderable for now. Even if you miss the early bird deals, this is still a great price (well below retail) for a neat product. Check it out.
