Rubber lens hood for 16-35mm f4

Has anyone had any positive experience with using a rubber lens hood with a Canon 16-35mm f4, and if so, which make/brand was it?

No.  The lens is probably too wide at 16mm for most of the rubber hoods unless you fold it almost all the way back, and then you lose the benefit of a lens hood. I suppose you could keep popping the hood in and out as you change focal lengths, but this seem like a lot of hassle to me. I just use the Canon hood (99% of the time).  If all you want is a rubber bumper then it might work.
