Bought two of these for some SB-28DX’s that I found on eBay, and I’m so pleased with them that I will be buying two more to replace the Nikon cases for my SB-900s. Fantastic build quality with a great pocket for extra batteries. The back has an attachment loop that has two snaps with tons of velcro.

Highly recommended!

I have a Tamrac Velocity 7 sling pack. I just bought a Canon Speedlite 430 EX II. The Flash does come with a case, but it has no way of attaching to anything.

So, I bought the Tamrac medium flash accessory pocket at the same time as the flash and it is clear that this pocket was made for the flash. If the accessory pocket was deeper , I think it might be hard to remove this flash; it fits perfectly. There is even a frontal pocket that nicely stores four AA batteries.

The pocket attaches to the bag in a vertical position using Velcro and snaps. The Velcro opens on the pocket, slides down through the horizontal side straps on the Velocity series sling packs and then Velcros and snaps securely to itself. There is about an inch or so of vertical play in the flash accessory pocket but I have not found this to be a problem. It could be that this is part of the design - when you set your bag down, the flash pocket shifts up so that it takes only its share of the weight. I would highly recommend the Tamrac medium flash accessory pocket and whole Tamrac Modular Accessory System (M.A.S.). The way this accessory is designed, it would even attach to a belt, if you don't have a Tamrac bag. The dimensions of this pocket are almost identical to the case that Canon provides (including thickness) and therefore should provide the same degree of protection. Great product!

My bag is full so I strap this quality product on the outside of my “everything bag” and I’m ready to go! It holds my strobe plus 4 extra batteries! How coool! It’s also typical TAMRAC quality and made in the USA! What more can you ask for!

Tamrac makes 2 different sizes of these “sweethearts” so be careful to buy the small or large for you’re own strobe!

This is a very sturdy, well-engineered case for a flash. Fits my SB-800 like a glove. it’s bigger than I thought it would be–it doesn’t fit into my regular smallish DSLR bag–but I figured out a way to attach to the outside of my bag using the stiff, velcro-ed and snap-fastening strap on the back of the flash case. If you’re over-protective of your flash gear, definitely get one.
