I bought a seafrogs 4" wet dome port to play around but I have a bit of an issue now. I mostly take macro pictures with my camera so I may need to remove the dome port, if required, during the dive. As it is a plastic lens I fear it will scratch immediately so it hasn't been in the water yet.

I am looking for ideas on what to do with it and how to protect it if removed or if installed and not taking pictures. I don't have pockets anywhere. I do have an option of buying a glue-on pocket for my wetsuit but I am not sure this will be comfortable.
 
My partner has one of these on her setup, of course you need a bayonet mounted wet lens and strobe arms.

This is the lens:
So it has a 67mm thread.

I could get a 67mm thread adapter from your usual overseas store for cheap and mount it somewhere on my rig to store the port.

How would I best protect it? I was thinking of some sort of neoprene cover but I wasn't able to find one for this size. It should also withstand the pressure so it won't compress at 40m too much.
