Default Suggestions for a lowepro slip lock for 580ex?

I'm looking for a slip lock case that will fit the 580ex with an omnibounce. Any ideas?

Take a measurement of the flash & hit the Lowepro site? They list the pouch dimensions.

I was just wondering if anyone was already doing something like this. I'll check out the website, thanks.

I sometimes put a 580EX, Omnibounce and a D-Res 6 (Lowepro battery and card wallet) in a Sliplock Pouch 50AW. The Omnibounce goes under the D-Res 6. It fits, but it's right on the height limit.

I picked up this idea from a web site where someone mentioned that they were using a Sliplock Pouch 50AW to carry two 580EX flashes.

I have this one from Think Tank:

My 580EX+Omnibounce fit perfectly.

Thanks for the suggestions! While I like the Think Tank setup, I've already got the Lowepro belt. However, I also have a D-Res 6 and wouldn't mind some AW protection for it. I'll check out the Pouch 50 AW.
