Thanks for your reply. I decided to poke around a little more and found a Bower SCB500. It has a quick access clip instead of a zipper and designed to hold the camera with the lens facing down which would allow quick access/less fumbling. It costs more though.

If I'm hiking with just my M5 (~ same size as the SL2), then I really like the little Lowepro Adventura SH 100 II.

It's the smallest case I've found that the M5 will fit in.  What I really like about it is that the camera can sit sideways (instead of up or down) which makes it very easy and fast to grip and pull out, instead of digging into the case trying to get ahold of the grip.

One other note is that the Bower doesn't have a belt loop (only a shoulder strap).  The little Lowe just slides on the belt and doesn't swing or get in the way.

They're both so cheap that you could even try both of them!
