Can anyone recommend a speedlight case / pouch?

Several great options, thanks everyone.

I have a ThinkTank "Lightning Fast" bag. Although... this does allow me to add it to a belt or any of their modular systems. Possible this is more than what you wanted.

Yeah I did see that one originally and it's bigger than what I wanted. I actually really wanted to like that one because I love ThinkTank stuff. At this point, Buckster, Tony, and Derrel have recommended solid choices and I'll probably end up going with one of them.

How about this...take your flashes outside and scrape them on the road. Now they are not longer pristine and you don't have to fuss over them so much any more

.

Of course I'm joking...but not entirely. I take better care of my gear than most of the professionals that I've worked with...but once something isn't 'new' anymore...it doesn't get the same care and attention. And when it comes to being on a shoot, I find it annoying when I have to unpack each piece of gear from it's own case...and when the shoot/day is done, it's a PITA to put everything back the way it was. I usually end up stuffing everything back into the bags and sorting it out later. So once I did that a few times, I realized that I didn't need to individually pack everything.

Here's a search thread on ebay. Ignore the ones with the flash included.

Kidding or not, it's a fair point. I know I baby a new smartphone the first week I have it, but after a week it gets tossed around just like my old one.
