The Hoya as seen here:

should protect the front element from getting banged up.  Even collapsed for 
wide angle, it still is a hood.  And a certain amount of softness ain't all 
bad. Just IMHO

  There will be differing opinions, however I prefer the rigid ones or if  
  rubber at least the non-collapsing ones.  The hood on my lens is there for  
two 
  reasons.  One is to block the sun or other light from hitting the front  
element 
  of my lens.  The other is to protect the front element from getting  banged 
  up.  A collapsible hood won't protect like the others.   <{8^)  Bill Barber
