Doug,

They'd probably charge you an arm and a leg.  Go an auto supply shop and
buy a good chamois cloth, and if you can sew,  cut a patch out and sew
up the sides into a bag. And if your really good with thread and needle
make a draw string hem and away you go. The perfect viewfinder bag.

And enough chamois left over to wash the car!:)  Hey guys it's the old
underwear trick only with new material.:)
