Cameras with their terminal caps inadvertently left on the backs of their
cameras have been known in the baggage cargo areas of airplanes to
spontaneously implode.
The only safe thing to do is to dispose of them upon the sale of the camera
and don't even bring it out of the camera store.
Might fall into the wrong hands.
Ever stop on one barefoot? Keeps those foot doctors in business otherwise
they'll all go broke.

Seriously if they came out in different colors I'd buy them all.
Mix and match.
I do love my softies they'd have to go well with my Softies on my shutter
relase. And I have them all. And love having a choice. Because its always
what you don't think.

Real men don't use terminal caps. I'm tempted to dogmatically state.
Prevents Quiche from getting into the back of your camera - but why deny it?

I use my cameras with studio strobes and the very first time that happens
there goes the little tiny teensy beetsey cap which I now know what its
called.
