I don't remember any occasion where such a protection would have been more useful than the default lens hood and/or cap. And I'm not an overly cautious guy.
To be honest, I think it's terribly ugly. Like those camera armor things ...

Well, on a hiking trip I tend to place the camera & lenses straight into the backpack rather than using a "formal" camera bag.
Lens caps as those supplied by Zeiss or Sigma are basically useless - they come off easily. You just need to look at them and they fall off.
Similar aspects apply to occasions where you just carry the camera with a should strap.
Yes, I do not attach the lens hood due to the bulk.
