Are these what you're looking for?

If yes, I think Cathay or MS Colour may have them.

I think Cathay Photo sells what you're looking for.

It's some neoprene slip-cover for the camera and lens that you just pull away when you wanna use the camera.

It's made by Op/Tech if I'm not mistaken...

A few mth ago. When i pop by to look for a case for my E-510 (with 14-54 lens, lens hood & battery grip attached)... the sales lady demostrated this item to me. She tried to stretch the neoprene cover over the camera to snap button it, but the neoprene thingy not that generous in size, so it's very tight, she didn't grip my camera body enough, the cover didn't manage to snap cover & my camera bounced on the table top like it performed a sommersalt... I just said i dun want it, put back my camera in my Lowepro Toploader 65 AW & walked out.

The stupid thing cost $40++.

Toploaders are better than holster cases, because they (1) do not add to the overall weight (2) you will not catch anything with the case "dangling" (3) there is always grip straps to give you a more secured hold on your camera (4) holster cases provides the least impact protection.

Just sharing my thoughts on such cases.

Correct me if I am wrong folks, but I have always thought that Neoprene is not a good material to use in humid weather too. It keeps the moisture IN the case as well. That is very bad for the lens.

That's why I never keep my straps in my Drybox.
(Got one from MATIN that has neoprene padding for better comfort and grip)
