Woo hoo!!!
I truly apologise for them taking so long, but I'm glad it's finally there, with a bonus!!
I trust you'll enjoy them both. I'm loving my SnapR20 - goes perfectly with my Fuji X10!

Yes the Snap R-20 goes with my LX5 and will allow for a little bit of felt where the screen goes.
It took me a while to figure out the little velcro cross pieces, but after scratching my head a few times they are in place as a safety factor for the (squeeze, pull out - snap in) connectors.
The RS-4 strap is fine, but at the moment I have the tripod clip using the screw hole in the canon. But it will be great for a day trip without the tripod.
And no need to apologise.

Yes, that's the only down side with the straps that use the tripod mount. I suppose when using the tripod you don't need a strap, but it's still a minor hassle taking it off and putting it on again.
p.s. I don't bother with those velcro thingies - they buckles themselves seem pretty sturdy and I don't think they're likely to come apart anytime soon.

It would make a thieves job a bit harder with them on though.
