recently got a used G5x. Liking it mostly. Looking for a bag that it goes in and out of easily. Any suggestions?

thanks

I have an old lowepro hip pounch I use. Zipper on top that goes down to 2/3, front pouch for extra battery, card. Strap rings or belt loop if I want to use. Can't find the model anywhere on it and got it for 5 bucks at a thrift shop. That said, the G5x mkI strength is also a weakness when going in and out of smaller pouches. The EVF hump will catch if I don't fully open the zipper. It is a comfortable fit inside.

The closest dimensionally I can find online and seeing in person at the local drug store is the Lowepro Adventura cs20. It looks like it would have the same snagging issue.

If I want a smoother draw, I use an old pentax hip case. I think it was for some compact binoculars or a film compact.

I gave one to my parents. My dad carried it in a small plastic sandwich bag
