The makers of the Beta Shell lens case claim that their patent pending container will keep your camera lens safe from the elements, like snow and water, extreme thermals, jarring impacts, and even bombs.
Yes folks, the Beta Shell is supposedly "bombproof," and if that's a feature you need, perhaps you should look into another field of photography.
"Our water-tight rigid polymer shells are lined with vibration damping visco-elastic foam," the company explains. "This means total protection from moisture, impact, and extreme ambient temperatures."
Depending on your camera lens, the shells run anywhere from $54 to $84. Life insurance not included.

I'll never need it to protect a lens from a bomb, but a rugged case that can protect a lens from a long drop or just the repeated abuse of hiking/rock climbing is worth the extra dough.
