I am considering getting an Omni-Bounce for my 580EXII, but I found 2 kinds. What's the diff (other than price)? One says Zeikos and one says Stofen. See links below:

It's really just a white piece of plastic. I am sure either would be fine. One is probably a copycat brand. I'd just get one of the $5 generics from china, honestly.

The Stofen is the original and the Zeikos is a knock-off. Overall there isn't really any difference between the two other than the Stofen being slightly heavier plastic.

if you go with another brand aside from STOFEN, can you post back how it fits.

I have the stofen with my 580ex II -- and like others have reported, its a pretty tight fight, but it works. almost too snug

I have the cheapo chinese version from eBay. Fits perfect on my 430, I'd expect the same on the 580. No complaints here.
