My experience is similar. I bought one for my M6 but did not like it
very much--it stuck out and did not work reliably. So I dumped it and
went back to following Jim's advice and always taking a picture before
putting the camera in the bag--any picture I take consciously is bound
to be better than the picture of the inside of my Domke--if it isn't I
would have some serious thinking to do about my photography.
