Default Snap Caps

I am in the market for Snap caps. I have been looking on line, A-zoom's seem well made are there any others I should look at.
Also, speedloader cases. I purchased Tru gear case which was a mistake, made well but to large. any thoughts on the cases.

A-zoom works just fine.

+1 on A-Zoom, there are other brands but those are just fine.

On the speed loader case question, I've been happy with HKS's offerings; less-than-great picture attached of a double-pouch worn just ahead of the revolver it "feeds."

A-Zoom is just fine, I have a set that I used to break in a revolver (just smoothing the action/trigger a bit), probably have around 400 - 500 "snaps" on each, and they're still good to go.

I would avoid the HKS nylon/cordura speedloader case... very cheaply made, flimsy, and the velcro closure doesn't last long at all.
