I order one last week from B&H with code discount. I just recieved it today. I borrowed my friend 580ex two weeks ago. It had a leather case and mine has a nylon case. Why did they do this?

I think the 430's case is different again though I forget how. Gear Listhttp://www.codastudios.com.au

Yes, the nylon does look like it will be able to protect the flash better. But the leather case looks cool. Current: Canon 40D w/BG-E2N, Canon 30D, Canon 10-22mm, Canon 17-55mm 2.8 IS w/EW-83J, Canon 70-200mm 2.8L IS, Canon 580EX II, Crumpler 6 Million Bag, and B+W MRC on all my glass.

I have four cases that came with various flash units. They're in the boxes. I use mine when I'm not storing my flash in my camera bag. Oh wait...my flash is always in my camera bag. Joe
