Hip flask protection?

I'm not that worried about them lol that stuff's pricey I know.

As for the leatherwork, a slip on cover, which would work for me, is $30 online at etsy.com ...flask included, but it's tanned buffalo hide.

So I emailed the seller to see if I could go without it. Like I said, it's a ten dollar container, it's not imperative that it's flawless, but I do want to keep it looking nice.

Thanks all - Kegan
