Looking for decent belt pack for G5x II

I've got a number of small belt type packs for a variety of other cameras but all are either too big (clumsy) or too small for the G5x. Need something with a sewn (not Velcro) belt type loop.

Appreciate any suggestions.

Canon PowerShot G5 X

I've been happy with my Canon EDC-100 case. It is a good fit for the G5X-II and has a front pocket that holds my spare battery and SD card. The back has a fixed leather (probably "leatherette" of some sort) panel with slots for a belt to feed through, plus a carabiner clip I've found more useful than I would have thought. Canon is curently OOS on this but it should be available at other retailers.

This  one is definitely worth considering. Thanks for the input.

I have an Op/Tech USA Soft Pouch - Zippeez large for my G5XII and it fits perfectly.

The Canon EDC-100 is shown as in stock at B&H Photo:

I just wish the G5X ii was IN STOCK. They are scarce as hens' teeth now.

I have one from Lowepro that works perfectly for me. Doesn't list the model number unfortunately.

Received my Canon EDC-100 case today. Perfect. Camera fits easily but snug enough so as not to move around when hiking. Belt loop is very sturdy. Never liked those Velcro belt "loops" as too often they can come apart. The carabiner tucks neatly out of the way into the belt loop sleeve. Front zipper compartment very secure and just the right size for spare battery & card.

Thanks much for the recommendation!
