Agreed that the skinny T-E is superb!

Look around for a #12575 Leitz hood.  It's a snap-on metal type, so 
it's simple enough to take off and put on a regular lens cap.  I got 
one which looks like new for about $70 at KEH.  You might even be 
able to devise some sort of cap for the hood.  Be creative, like the 
Nikon folk. (Tupperware lids, etc.) :-)
