The D700 has a little shutter that covers the eye opening, but unfortunately less expensive (or less 'pro') cameras do not. It is unrealistic to expect people to remove the rubber gizmo and attach some other gizmo several times a day. The only time I worry about it (well, I don't actually worry) is when the sun is shining directly on the eyepiece. Then I just shade it with my hand or hat, and if I'm using a remote I just drape the camera strap over it.
Thanks! That seems to be the general consensus.
