This cap is listed as an accessory for the Canon G1x, but it doesn't fit the camera very easily... it will mount on the front of the lens, but not very smoothly or easily. OK for carrying as a back-up if you should lose the original cap, but not really very suitable for everyday use.

Comments about General Brand 46mm Snap-On Lens Cap:
Not a bad lens cap, but it just barely fits the G1 X. I think I prefer the OEM cap, but if you want something with a lower profile this one will work.

Works just perfect if I could only remember to take it off before I try to shoot something. I'll get it soon or later. For five bucks you can't beat it.

It fits and works well enough. For all those people who think it's a little flimsy--what? It's totally adequate, particularly considering the price.

Comments about General Brand 46mm Snap-On Lens Cap:
It's hard to get excited about a simple plastic lens cap, but after losing the 46mm cap off my 20mm pancake lens for the Panasonic Lumix GF1, I couldn't seem to find a replacement anywhere. Thanks B & H! The price is right, too.

Comments about General Brand 46mm Snap-On Lens Cap:
I was able to put my own brand on the Snap-On lens Cap (Acme). So when I dropped it, in a camera bag or the ground, I would be able to find it.
Comments about General Brand 46mm Snap-On Lens Cap:
Got this to replace one I had lost. It works but one of the side buttons gets stuck when squeezed so it requires some wiggling to lock into place. Maybe I got a bum one or maybe it's just cheaply made.
Pros
- Grips tightly
- Inexpensive
- Protects the lens
Cons
- Not tethered
- Plain looking
