Check out some telephoto lens bags on Amazon or ebay. There should be sizes that would make very good joystick covers.
RH VKB GF Mk III + Modern Combat Grip *ULTIMATE* (12/17 GFII , upgraded), _powered_ deploy!
LH VKB GF Mk III + Kosmosima Prem (02/19 GFII, upgraded), *lateral* mounted
Feet: Slaw Viper RX Pedals [Sorry, VKB, too gorgeous]

I am not 100 % sure about whether this reason applies here, but I believe it very well might.
The thing is that our packages are simple but extremely carefully designed to fit into the certain gross weight band.
You know it is like they (mail operators) charge you X for the first 500 g and then Y for every 500 g increment.
We had spent tons of time making sure our customers don't have to pay more in shipping costs but still get their devices undamaged after travelling all the way across the ocean.
Putting as little as a dust cover in the box may result in you paying extra 15 bucks for shipment. Wouldn't be the smartest investment.
Best Regards,
AeroGator

Thank you very much for this explanation. That make sense, of course. But still....i just think it would be great if you could offer this "option" to your customer anyway. It is ultimately up to the customer to decide how much he is prepared to spend. Of course, i can only speak for myself now, but wether i pay 420 or 440€....THAT doesn`t make any difference anymore;-)
I suspect rather that this "product" is no longer produced at all. Wether it`s Europe or the USA....it`s nowhere to be found. Only at "AliExpress" it`s visible. But there it`s no longer avaiable! Therefore....this unfortunately no longer exists :cry:

Likely you're right. As it can't be sent - why bother making it, n'est-ce pas?
Anyway, I will bring it to the attention of the people who normally deal with the accessories. Thank you for the hint.
(but don't expect immediate action!)

Thank you for this good example! That`s the point i`m trying to make at the end of the day.

Have the Dust Cover delivered from Australia to Germany? That really doesn`t make any sense at all!
Exactly for this reason i wish myself also in the future that there is this product with VKB. So you can order everything at once. I dare to say that most people don`t care if the shipping costs increase a bit. We`re talking about quite high amounts anyway and i guess it doesn`t matter if you pay 10€ more or not. You also have less effort to procure everything. So please......you should at least offer it

Maybe you have at home a dust cover for shoes left?! :wink: ...I use myself one made for one shoe. It fits perfectly for GF MCG.
