Transient Bags sent me 2 of their hip pouches to test out last week. I rode all weekend with them, a small and a medium and they're seriously great. I have used other hip pouches before, but they're always so big and cumbersome. I was looking for smaller ones, but had a hard time finding them. These two sizes are perfect. When I wanna go ride somewhere and I don't want to carry my bag, the small fits everything I need:
-tube
-tire levers
-co2 cartridges
-digital camera
-cellphone
-park multitool [not pictured]
On the small pouch:
Length is roughtly 4 1/2" at the bottom to a 6 1/2" top.
Width is about 2"
Depth is about 4 1/2"

On the medium pouch:
Length is 6 1/2" to a 8 1/2" taper
Width is about 2"
Depth is about 5 1/2"
I could carry everything above in the medium as well as:
-iPod
-extra tube
-mini pump
-metric and standard allen key set
The medium has enough room to slide a ulock in the back as well, between the belt loops.
Both of these bags fit more practically for everyday use and I usually just keep the small pouch on during the day. They come in an assortment of colors and are available at their website.
Thanks Transient!

Have you seen the Fabric Horse utility belts?
They have U-lock straps.

Yes I have. They're nicely made and I think they're pretty rad. They are however, too big and cumbersome for my tastes. The problem I have with the bigger hip bags is they just get in the way. I don't like something flapping around while I'm riding.
I've also found that a ulock fits fine between my belt and jeans. No need for a holster.

Just got my MINI.
It can fit all those things you mentioned (multi-tool, co2 pump, cell phone, tire levers, tube) but defintely not the digital camera. Just a heads up for the trigger happy people out there.
