When I lost the original hotshoe cover to my camera I didn't bother with a genuine Olympus one as all original equipment manufacturer (OEM) versions cost silly money.
So instead I bought a far cheaper off-brand model. The fit and finish appeared to be fine, so when I lost the next cover on another body I bought that model again. But after just a few months where they just sat protectively in my hotshoes as I rarely use on-camera flashguns, they both got too loose to be effective, and the reason was because the two small lightly-sprung plastic arms on each side of those covers are not very durable. They broke and the covers fell out.
These covers are different as they're made of a solid rubber compound. So they naturally sit in the hotshoe by friction alone with no parts to fatigue or break. As they're a nice tight fit they may also be expected to offer greater moisture resistance to the hotshoe.
As you get 12 of them, keep the unused ones somewhere cool and dark. That way if the ones you're using harden with age and loose grip, or just get lost, then the remaining ones will not have suffered much in the way of age related deterioration and certainly won't have any degradation due to heat and sunlight.
I deliberately haven't mentioned the little bubble levels in each cover. They're a nice touch, but they're unlikely to be accurate enough in all applications to be of genuine use. Buy them because they're very good covers and are better than the OEM ones, and just consider the bubble levels as a free bonus which might be useful if your camera does not offer camera level displays.
