Man you are right about the velcro. It is the sew on type so there isn't any sticky crap. The Nite Ize is a straight holder. I made these after my Jungle trip and just wanted something simple and durable. If it gets lost or falls in the Amazon no problem only $8 for the light. I give them to my cheap hiking buddies and friends that already a mag.
I like the Solitaire size and weight of 1 oz. so for backpacking I find myself mainly using my LED Photon cliped around my neck. The Solitaire is like a brighter version of that for me. The mini Mag seems more common and is about 4 ounces. I don't really hike at night so a Solitaire gets me to the bathroom (bush) and in the tarp just fine.
