All of my rifle Holosuns have the clear covers, front and rear. Have tried them in every configuration you can think of, and have come to the conclusion that I'm keeping them closed. The amount of clarity I give up is minuscule, and the added protection from damage and dirt is very much worth it. It actually feels weird when I'm shooting a buddy's rifle that doesn't have them, as I feel like the lenses are unprotected.
Somewhat oddly, I don't feel the same way about my pistol optics. Though I do prefer enclosed pistol RDS... For the same reasons. It's just another layer of protection with a truly almost imperceptible penalty in clarity.
