yes. i have a protective metal on my clickbox. it's just a diy project. i knew it will get bumped all the time so i decided to make one myself. i just bought a strip of aluminum at Orchard Supply and made one. but since that time i changed it to a different one. as you can see from the picture below, i just used a cloth hanger and made a protective clickbox housing. i like the cloth hanger better as i can see the click box.
