Where's the soft spot??? - Leupold Alumina Rubber Eyepiece Guard

I wanted to keep everything on my Leupold scope, Leupold, and is why I ordered this piece. When it arrived I took it out of it's packaging and didn't find anything "soft or cushioning about it. It is just a metal ring that screws into the ocular end of the scope, and has a little rubber edging to it. If you get hit in the eye from recoil and get hurt, ask Leupold what happened. It was only $10.00, but it was $10.00 that could have gone to something that did what it was supposed to do. This item isn't going to keep you from getting "scope bit." I'm looking at it as I write and for the life of me ... where's the cushion!!!??? It is still a hard, thin edge of hard rubber. The Quake Rifle Scope Eye Scope Recoil Pad for $3.99 is a much better item and cost effective piece. This is not something Id tell a friend, maybe not even an enemy to get as it wont work. Better to keep your eye back from the scope or buy a Quake Scope Recoil Pad.
Pros: None
Cons: Still is a hard surface
