<snip> With the earlier [caps] i never worried about a lens cap coming off by itself even if the lens was bouncing around in a bag so never bothered with filters, but with the newer ones, they even come off
while attached to a camera in a case.
-----------------
If the cause for the caps coming off is something pressing on the release tabs then this probably won't help. But, in any case, try this:

After placing the cap on the lens give it a *gentle* clockwise twist to snug it down just as you would a threaded cap or filter. The tabs are riding in the filter threads and giving it a little twist will draw it down, bring the cap into full contact with the front of the lens and keep the cap from rocking. Try it, you'll like it.
