Anyone know of a good contact cover for BP511A batteries? The little flat plate that comes with the battery keeps coming off. I'd love to find more of the clear plastic caps that come with a battery grip.

Any leads?

I just put mine in an old plastic Sucrets (http://www.sucrets.com) throat lozenge box. Holds 2 batteries (one can have a cap on it) neatly.

It must be later already: Availability: Usually ships the next business day.

Did you click on the button to order? I did, once again just 30 seconds ago, and the same response as before, "The item is not currently available. Please check back later. " I even tried adding some batteries to the cart, in case they were hoarding the covers for customers buying batteries...nope, same result when trying to add the covers to the shopping cart.

Nope. Most sites show availability on the main order page, so I didn't go that far. Stand corrected.

I am finding plenty of examples of stores that do NOT have stock, they have good advertized prices...but NO STOCK if you order via web or phone them! In the past week two stores had me call for a web order of a GPS unit, to then tell me 'no stock'. Then I called another store today (rather than a web order and another phone call), to be told 'no stock'. I finally found a store WITH stock!!!

I'm no help; but every time I've sold a camera to someone else; I've kept that little piece of plastic :)
