The Omni-Bounce creates a Diffused Bare Bulb Effect. Giving even coverage across the entire frame, with lenses from 15mm to 200mm in the 35mm format. (And equal in other formats as well.) The Omni-Bounce is easy to use and goes onto and off of your flash in seconds with custom fitting, except UNI, and No Velcro. Designed for years of service with out the bulk of some other Diffusers, it is small enough to fit easily into your gadget bag or pocket.

Summary: Sto-Fen Onni-Bounce for the Canon 580EX/580EX II
Comment: I have used the Sto-Fen Onni-Bounce with my Canon 580EX II flash and it fits perfectly. Note that this is for the 580EX and not for the 430EX which is somewhat smaller. The diffuser is easy to slip on, is snug and will stay on tight unless it's pulled off. No need for tape or sticky velcro pads. The diffuser merges into the form of your flash.
The Sto-Fen diffuses your flash's light so you get a softer and more spread-out look to your flash. No more "deer in the headlight" look. This has a more "natural soft light" look. It can be used indoors or out. I highly recommend it for indoor use, because you'll want a soft flash with it being the only light source, and the omni-bounce spreads out the light so you are better able to light up the scene and room. This diffuser works fine, works best for individual portraits or rather close shots.
I keep it in my Canon Bag. It's light weight and is great in a "pinch." Installs in seconds! Great product! Can't beat the price.

Summary: All that I needed
Comment: Very happy with the Omni-Bounce for my 580EX II. It goes on easy but is tight enough not to get knocked off. It gives me just enough soft light after I set the white balance to make a natural looking indoor shot, and it works great with a bounce also. Haven't used it outdoors for a filler much as I am still getting to know my 580EX II. I leave it attached in my bag and ready for a quick attachment.Great little toy

Summary: Works well - fits 580 EX-II
Comment: The Sto-fen works well for most indoor shots with my 580 EX-II. Because of the rubber edge strips on the EX-II it fits a lot tighter than on the original 580 EX and can sometimes be a little hard to remove from the flash.
I also have a Omni-Bounce for the 430 EX flash and was pleased to find that it can stack completely inside of the slightly larger 580 model so saves valuable space in my carry case.
As is clearly stated by Sto-Fen, the Omni-Bounce costs 2.5 stops, but with a 580 EX and shooting at ISO 400, that's really not a concern.
Customer Rating:
Summary: must have for the 580ex
Comment: This is a great diffuser, and worth the extra (small) expense. Simple, easy to use and worth the cost.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not Needed
Comment: There is really no reason for a photographer to buy this, a bounce card (which is built into the 580EX) serves the same purpose when one isn't using direct strobe and one should rarely if ever use direct strobe in shooting. You're wasting your money, especially $11 for something that is really just translucent plastic.
