Smallest case for G15

I'm looking for the smallest and thinnest case that will fit a G15 + small wrist strap. I carry it in my jacket pocket but want to keep it in a case to keep dust out. I have several cases left over from my G9 but they are made of Cordava (sic) and are thick and heavy. I want something that is as close to a second skin as possible. All I want is for it to cover the camera. I carry spare batteries and cards in another case that goes in the other pocket.

Right now I'm using a Zip-lock bag. I'd like a more suitable case.

B&H recommends this for G16s:

LensCoat BodyBag Point and Shoot Large Zoom

This looks thinner and more supple than the Cordava-style cases. Is this case the best bet for me?

TIA.

I use a MegaGear fitted ever-ready case for my G16 and had one for my G15 as well. Look for it on Amazon.

This one?

MegaGear "Ever Ready" Protective Leather Camera Case, Bag for Canon PowerShot G15 (Dark Brown)

Cool.  It looks retro and is worth having just to swag around in public.

Does it work OK in actual practice?  Some of the Amazon user reviews expressed misgivings that it was difficult to use because of the snaps and tripod mount?

Thanks for the lead.

I often take the top off so that I don't have to mess with the snaps. It works well for me and yes, it does look nice! I got mine in black.
