might be that I'm tired, but didn't quite get that. anyways the more/better competition, the more pricing, technology and quality (etc) is pushed.

The full extent of the crack is just out of shot, but one of the branches of it can be seen under certain light up in the top left corner, the angle of the crack is just in line with the angle the camera looks at it, so it's only when light passes directly through it that you can notice it.
If I switched back to 720p you'd be able to see the whole crack. I think I'm going to have to buy a proper 3mm lens cover for it and tape it over the front of the whole camera or something.
The lens kits for the Contour ROAM series weren't shipped outside the US, all the lens kits online were for the Contour HD, which takes completely different lenses which don't even come close to fitting. So they're a massive bugger to get hold of. I emailed Contour directly and they sent me one lone cover as a "good will gesture" but they wouldn't let me buy a set or anything.
So if you get one, definitely get a cover for it immediately.

Yeah I was looking at those, but I'll need to get the RIS attachment and a small piece of RIS, and then attach it to the outside edge of my camera, which I think would make it massive.

New sports camera to follow the closure of Contour, http://airsoftoperator.com/new-garmin-virb/
In my opinion it doesn't look up to the same standard, mainly because of the price tag. Your thoughts?

The Garmin car cams are really good quality,so I'm guessing the action cams will be too,but the price tag is a bit high for my taste.

Ahh never run a contour naked! You can make a lens shield like mine quite easily if you have some old (non mesh) eye protection laying around. Just take one of the clear lenses and use a stanley knife to carefully score a lens sized guide shape into the outer side. Then use some strong wire cutters to snap the excess off until you get to the line you scored and it should clip off fairly cleanly. Tidy up any rough edges with a file, fix to your lens with electrical tape and you're all done. I have seen more advanced custom lens protectors but if you need a dirt cheap and more importantly quick DIY fix to get your contour protected asap then try this first!
