Invitation: Pinhole photography

The folks who sell the Pinwide are now taking orders again. Placed mine just a few minutes ago. I enjoy the various faux toy/pinhole camera apps on the iPhone, so trying a real one is irresistible!
 
Why can't they produce a pinhole lens with glass across the hole? I'd hate to think how much dust is being drawn into the camera...or am i way off the mark?

There is no need for the Pinwide guys to offer a cap with a glass cover. The hole in the cap is very small, only a few microns wide. You'd have to leave it on probably for weeks before dust got through that tiny hole. You get more dust into the body from changing lenses.
 
It's a shame we don't have more pinholeteers on the forum really, be nice to see a few more (not only Pinwide, homemade would be good too)
