I think the foam we can get from a hobby store is a bit harsh on it's feel, and I'd rather not have it rubbing on my lenses and lose it's manufacturer markings (I like to keep my stuff as close to mint as possible). So i guess the real question is, what can we use as another layer to wrap around the foam?

Any input would be appreciated.

if you wanted to do that, just wrap it in felt, microfibre, or suede to soften the foam even further. you don't even need to sew it, you can simply glue the fabric on the foam.
