We all tend to develop our own habits when working with the tools of our
craft. In general I put a quick release plate on my cameras, take the neck
strap off and go naked on the front of my lens. When I recently bough a
NEX 7 I bought UV filters for both of my expensive lenses with relatively
large front elements. A few minutes ago as I was carrying the 10-18mm to put
it in my stash cabinet, I hit my hand on the edge of the couch, knocking the
lens out. I landed on the wood floor destroying the lens cap, UV filter
and putting a couple of gouges in the front element. Double ugh!
OUCH!!!

I'm self-insured, and so far well ahead. $0 premium costs, $0 claims.
Wonder if there was some bad camera karma from putting the UV filter on the
front of the lens.
Yup.
Did you say you were doing that? I seem to recall thinking it was a bad idea, but that you are a big boy, capable of
making your own decisions.
I tend to agree with Tina on this one.
