This one can be described as innovative - one of those "I should have thought of that" ideas. Basically Quikdraw is a belt holster for your lenses that uses a lens mount to hold your lens in place, instead of bags. No more fumbling with clips or velcro when you want to change lenses.
You'll probably want to watch the video at the end of the page - it's pretty awesome to see it in action.

For me personally I wouldn't see myself going out in public with my lenses hanging on my belt - there's definitely merits in a discreet camera bag. However, I think it would be very handy for professionals who need quick lens changes and their gear on hand at all times. I must say though I would be plenty nervous when changing lenses - if you didn't lock it in properly, there's nothing stopping your precious glass ending up on the floor.
Quickdraw is currently in kickstarter stage - i.e. he's trying to crowdsource funds to start manufacturing it.
