I hate my lens cap. What works best for you? PICTURES!

There are a couple options on ebay and such. One glues to the cap. One is a cap with a place to thread a string through. the second looks cheap. The first... anyways, what do you guys do to keep from losing your lens cap?

Put it in my pocket. Haven't lost one in 15+ years, 6+ bodies and 20+ lenses across several different formats and systems.

95% of the time I am in dress shirts... that is why there is a breast pocket...

I HATE the strings and such... they just dangle and get in my way...

Rigid plastic or metal hood, no cap, hassle free.

Shirt pocket. I don't buy shirts without them. I cannot stand having some dangly thing flopping around from the camera (I've grown to hate neck straps as well).

The cap goes right back into the bag I took the lens out of.

When I'm shooting, I store lenses front down with the hood on, the cap usually stays in the bag somewhere. When I'm traveling I reverse the hood and put the cap back on for protection.

Ditto.

Don't even think about the cap, and stick them back on when I get home.

I put it in my right back pocket every time. Had to discipline myself but now that I have I always know where it is.

I use a metal lens hood and a neoprene lens sock(Lenscoat). Soft neoprene simply folds in my pocket.
