Just 2 quick tips for the Neewer (sold under various brand names too) flash diffuser on the EL-100 flash:

1. The silver side is of little use - paint it black with a large felt marker and it looks less conspicuous

2. There are elastic straps on each side, but they are a bit loose on the EL-100's compact size. An easy 5-second solution is to use 2 paper clips - pull the strap on the white side and wrap it over the edge onto the other side, then use one paper clip from the bottom and another slid down from the top to pin the folded over strap to the strap on the other side (this will make sense when you have it on-hand). Now much more snug and adds a tiny bit of curvature to the white diffuser in a good way
