i have the strap on one (phnar phnar) and it's fiddly to get on and off but i never take it off. will hold a tube, park patches, multi tool, tyre levers and a couple of energy gels if you pack it carefully

Specialized mini. Its ace, and I can get two tubes (lightweight evo55 ones that is (not the regular) a mini tool, and a co2 inflator, just, its a squeeze but I have to have a tiny saddle bag as I cant stand the big whopper ones.

Topeak micro. Just about big enough for tube, levers, multitool and keys.

Plenty decent ones around I'd have thought.

Another recommendation for the Topeak Aero Wedge. Easy to fit / remove - just two straps which go through the rails of your saddle, and a velcro strap round the seatpost. Has compression straps too which stop everything rattling around in there.

I would second the spesh mini. I won one at the big bike bash and its very well made and looks weather proof too.
