This is pretty much a portable softbox. Yes it will fit on a speedlight pointed forwards mounted on a DSLR and not get in the way of the lens.I use it when I need a very portable set up and using off camera flashes. It's sort of a pain to get on the flash and keep on but I use the plastic omnibounce to try and make it easier.

It doesn't interfere with my flash IR sensor. It gives an even diffusion of light. Gels can be purchased and cut to size and clipped to the top of this softbox with EXCELLENT results. The gels fit in the storage pouch nicely.
It is easy to put on once you learn the secret. Here's the secret trick....put it on before attaching your external flash to your camera. The reason it's better to put on before is the Velcro strap is very snug and if your external flash swivels, it's just hard to hold the camera, flash and put it on all at the same time.
I use an off shoe flash cord and it works very well in this respect. I think this 6x8 size is just perfect for macro stock and general macro work as well as outdoors fill lighting.
You'll like it. I like it and I'm not that easy to please.

I have always been one that goes for the more expensive equipment when possible but honestly, this little softbox did just as good as my other one that cost twice as much. I shoot weddings and use this to help light my subjects on the fly during the reception by holding it in one hand and shooting with the other on the dance floor. It's well built and can be tossed into any bag of gear without any concern that it will be destroyed. I highly recommend purchasing this one first to see if it meets your needs before investing in something that will cost twice as much. I was able to use the money I saved towardsnbuying more light modifiers.

Great product
I haven't used it much... yet, but it is exactly as described, fits well on my flash, and does the job it says it is supposed to do!

Softbox for Speedlite
This is a real nifty softbox. However I do find it a little flimsy, hard to get it onto my speedlite and maintain form. Therefore I will also use my Omni-Bounce diffuser with this.

Sucks!
This thing is not usable in any shape or form of the word.
It is well built and the concept is great, but the problem is that it wont keep its shape for 2 seconds. Read more

Mixed feelings
The black funnel-shape tends to crease & fold a little funny, which allows it to droop a bit.
Strapping the elastic/velcro around the nose of the flash is cumbersome, but... Read more

Works very well
Good quality. Folds flat and is a nice size for walk-around use. I am happy with the Speedlight softbox attachment.

Yet To Be Tried
I haven't yet tried using this item but I will be along with my new studio lighting kit. I'm looking forward to comparing it to another I bought for one of my other cameras.

Simple but very effective!
After using the softbox at an event and seeing the effect it had on the photos, I decided to buy another one. I highly recommend it.

Attaching Is A Problem
I like the idea of this product but it falls short to working with my flash unit. I find the attachment to be clumsy and my flash is unable to swing into position with it attached.

Not good..
This soft box was a disappointment. It did not fit the head of my flash, a Nissin. Also, I was not impressed with the actual product..
