Well done. I also did something quite similar to keep my "one and only" safe at Burning Man. I cut the corner out of a bag and used a big, thick, blue elastic that is commonly used to hold broccoli stalks together. A UV filter protected the front surface of my lens and gave me more contact point for the elastic. I I left tabs around my hole cutting and folded them back over the elastic and used a second one to secure it. This stayed on without adjustment for a whole week. I positioned the other bottom corner of the bag near the scroll wheel of my 1000D. Accessing features was very easy. The "sip" of the bag fit at the bottom to stay out of the way. I screwed my trooped mount through bottom of the bag with an extra piece of rubber on the inside to keep the seal. The only problems I had were trying to manual focus at night through the obstructed view finder and having my auto focus bind up a bit with the twisting of the bag. I used a fairly heavy grade of bag. A little pre shot adjustment was all that was needed. Cheap, easy and completely non destructive. Not one speck of dust got on my camera.

thanks for posting this. i live in vancouver canada and have been itching to get out and photograph in the rain. there's a red colored construction tape available in hardware stores that bonds very well to plastic.

Tuck tape. It's well suited for this purpose, because it is intended to seal vapour barrier.
