I actually purchased this for a YN560 flash. As those familiar with the YN560, it is physically identical in size to the Canon 580EX II.

The case is very nice and very much like the case that came with my 580EX II. The fabric and padding seem to be of excellent quality and similar texture and feel of the Canon case.

This case differs in that is has a D-ring on the back as well as a nice vinyl belt loop. I could do without the D-ring and may ultimately remove it.

The only negative is the pouch is a bit tighter than the Canon pouch. As I have a 580EX II and can compare the two. The 580EX II and YN560 both fit the Canon pouch nicely. But they both fit in this case quite snuggly. To the point that the 580EX II will actually turn itself on when removing it from this pouch (the switch gets caught when you pull out the flash and flips the switch to the on position). This is no deal breaker since I bought it for the YN560 and it has a push button on switch like the original 580EX.

I would guess that this pouch was actually designed around the smaller flashes, i.e. 580EX, 430EX II and SB600/800. But the 580EX II (and YN560) are just a hair bigger.

Still it works well and I'm extremely happy with the price compared with the value. I would certainly get one again, or if I lost my Canon case, I'd likely get one of these as a replacement.

I didn't really have too many expectations for this item other than it would hopefully fit my Speedlight and provide a bit of extra protection for it when inside my camera bag. The case Nikon ships with the Speedlight is useless as it takes up too much space. Well, it did fit (like a glove) and was made of higher quality nylon than its picture would have seemed to indicate. It even had a little pocket inside the main compartment just large enough for my light's little stand, which I frequently use to attach the light to my large Manfrotto light stand. Also, it has a belt loop and sturdy metal eye (not pictured) for attaching this case externally, which is a big bonus for me as I don't have room for a flash in at least one of my bags. Overall, my expectations were surpassed and I can highly recommend this item. One word of caution is that while this case fits my particular light perfectly, it would definitely not fit anything larger than a Nikon SB-700, so check your light's dimensions before ordering.

UPDATE: This case can fit a SB-910, just barely.

Honest reviews on Carry Case Pouch for DSLR Hot Shoe Flash (For Canon 550EX 580EX II

Although the inside of my camera pack is well padded, the cost of my Canon 430ex flash still made me worry about damage in the pack. This product fits the flash perfectly, is stiff enough to provide additional protection and does not increase the footprint in the bag significantly. it can be worn on your belt too, allowing easier access when needed. I am very pleased with the purchase and can easily recommend it to others.
