They have some really nifty lighter covers out there for bic lighters that prevent crushing or the buttons being pressed while in a pocket. I have one which has a flip top similar in size to a zippo. The mini bic simply slides inside and is totally protected(not from being submerged) but from most else anyway. Wonderful little addition for about 10 bucks.
