Can anyone recommend a good case for the Tamron 150-600?

As the title, I'm looking for a case for my Tamron 150-600mm and would like some suggestions please. I've seen a lowepro one but there's room for the lens to move around and ideally I'd like it to be snug. Needs to fit reversed hood and tripod collar. Preferably I like one without room for a camera, but if the did one that takes a camera as well but then has some extra padding to fill the void when a camera's not attached that'd be great.

Cheers.

I always have mine attached to a Canon 5d3 - to me it makes sense to have it ready to go.

The only case which would take the combination (as far as I could see) was the Tamrac 5630; this holds the hood reversed, L plate and tripod collar. Without the body, of course, it's far too big!

Thanks. The reason that I ideally want one without camera attached is because I have a lowepro flipside 400 already that can take the lens with camera attached so it's for storage and/or when I want to take both this and another lens for when the body is on the other lens.
 
Check out the thinktank digital holster 50 v2 I'm sure it would go in there as it takes my d800e and new version 80-400 with hood in shooting position when the bag is extended so worst case I'm sure it would take the 150-600 with hood reversed
 
Looking at side by side I'd say it would definitely go in one as with hood revered it's shorter than 80-400 with hood in shooting position
 
That photo looking closely the 80-400 has a teleconverted added too
 
Thanks for the replies. Decided to go for the lowepro in the end as couldn't justify the cost of the think tank for my needs. Picked it up for £24 and have to say I'm quite impressed with it. Looks well made and fits the lens well, not snug snug but snug enough. Padding isn't as good as some cases but still good and no worse than the one that came with my Nikon 70-200 f2.8. Overall happy with the purchase.
 
I picked two up brand new on ebay for £12 each :-) , Ones just sitting in the wardrobe :-(
 
silly as it sounds the sigma cases are quite nice, if abit boxy, never actually used one in the field though, so they may fall down on that
