Is anyone making a Flip Cap for Spotting Scope objectives? I can make one work for the eyepiece but haven’t found anything big enough for the objective. I’m really not wanting a full case and the covers the manufacturer sends are trash.

Haven't found one. But I did find a camera lens cap that fits my Leupold spotter perfectly. Took some trial and error till I found the one.
For the Leupold spotter you can get the Badger cat eye flip cover, but they're pretty expensive and you have to have their SLICK rail system to mount it on

Damn. I thought about pitching the idea to him.

Also there's a few stretch silicone food container covers that can work on some spotters because they have generally more clearance while in operation. Caution advised as they're chic magnets, being pretty and all, and maybe your friends may see you differently than prior to... See attached.
