C,


Like you, I also use the lens cases on my Lowepro holster. Personally, I don't worry about dropping the lens, but instead, like the convenience of being able to easily pull the chosen lens out of the holster, because that is usually the one you need at the moment. So I prefer to put my lens in the case hood down.To me, its easier to grab the mount and pull, than to grab the hood and pull.


Just my 2cw.
