Bought mine from Henessy, cost 10 bucks only.
Looked exactly like the Gary Fong's Puffer, which cost much much more.
For $10, it comes with 3 colors cap, white orange blue.

notice the light leak at the back
some tape will seal it up

But how does a picture taken with such a diffuser look like? The diffusing material looks matte, but something as strong as a flash could still give harsh shadows. Any pictures to show with and without the diffuser?

bigger box, bigger diffusion... imagine the next guy heed this advice, make 1 that cover the entire lens...

If you look at the physics of direct (no bounce) diffusers such as light-boxes etc, you'll realise that such a small device will still be a point light source when used at a distance, albeit, very slightly diffused and probably better than no diffuser at all. Will it give you the same effect as a 4 or 6 feet studio softbox? Nope.

It does look seksi though!

Just get the 6 ft inflatable penis from the sex shops at Lucky Plaza or something and stick lens through. Cheap Cheap! Less than $30 IIRC.
