The device to which you refer is a "reversing ring". They work great!
I don't know of anything that would allow you to somehow mount a filter or other protective device at the "other end" of the lens as it's reverse mounted. Maybe someone else does.
Until you hear of anything, you'll just have to be careful. <vbg>

Hey, A question to you guys: Ok, so my dad lent me this *thing* that allows me to screw my lens onto my camera backwards, thus enabling me to take really close up shots, kinda like the cheap version of macro. Sorry I don't what this is called. :o) Anyways, I was wondering if anyone knew of another *thing* that I could put at the end of my lens so that I could screw on a uv filter or something. You see, it would basically have to be like the mounting part of the camera on one half and a screw ring on the other half. All this is because having my lens out in the open like that gets me pretty nervous. I'm somewhat prone to breaking things.
