I agree, that's weird. Not only has my eyecup never fallen off but I
use the one with the extended cup for better light blockage. If it was
going to get knocked off you'd think this one would be more likely to
get snagged and pushed/pulled off.

But note that I do use the genuine article although I have no reason to
believe that ebay stuff would be any less durable here. Perhaps Moose's
speculation about it being due to your carrying bag is worthy of note.
Most of the time I carry the E-M5 with a single lens alone in a holster
type "Ape Case" (AC Pro 625) bag where the camera is dumped in lens
first. Nothing goes sliding past the eyecup as it's put into the bag.
It will hold the camera with 14-150 installed with hood in shooting
position.

I haven't thought about how the 70-300 will or will not fit. I just
looked at the lens dimensions and am pretty sure it will fit but not
with the hood in shooting position.
The Ape Case is very nice. It has both a shoulder strap and a wide belt
loop (belt not included). It has a hidden rain cover in a zippered
compartment on the bottom. There is a zippered front compartment which
is very small but can hold 3 extra batteries. The inside of the cover
has 2 small compartments for SD cards with velcro lock covers.

I keep losing those damn eyecups from the EM5 and order two at a time.
I hate to super glue one on but I can't afford the $15 a pop. Anyone
in China listening?
That is so weird. 28 months and 12,341 shots later I've never had mine
come off. I may have taken it off some time for some foolishness or
other? But it's never come off on its own. Something about a bag you
carry it in?
