velcro tab beltpack for 550ex - recommendations?

[sehsuan]

just picked up one lowepro sliplock 30 yesterday evening, it has the ideal size for a 550ex, but i'm wondering, if there is a sliplock 40 in the past? lowepro's site doesn't list such an item, and this beltpack is about 3 to 5 cm shorter than the full height of the 550ex; and as such i can't close the top flap this way. if you know of one tab-based beltpack that is swee-swee fitting for the 550ex, please share below. thanks.

I've been using the lowepro water bottle sliplock with the 550ex for a while... can fit swee swee.... But no padding....

I use a black ammo pouch bought from those army supply shops at beach road. Cut off the granade holders with a pen knife and seal the loose threads with lighter flame.

Its not lowepro good looking, but 550EX fits with some room to spare (Can fit stofen diffuser). Unfortunately there is no padding, which is not too big a deal cos the material is already fairly thick.

Quite a good idea. Btw does the material scratch the front red plastic for the AF assist lights.
