Bounce pop-up flash

Does anyone have a small attachment to fit on a pop-up to bounce the flash or filter it for red-eye reduction. Portability, size, weight, convenience, and cost are all important.

Several models:

Keep in mind, that pop-up flash is pretty low power.
It won't hold a candle to what a real flash like the SB-700 or better can do.

I adapted an old white 35mm film canister. Cut out a slot down the length of the canister, slide it over the pop-up, place the canister lid back on Wallah!! Must be reasonably close to the subject, as power is limited in pop-ups. But it does soften the light very well.

I like this idea and could be made for pennies if you want...take an old Tupperware lid or similar material, (rectangular) cut out the center and attach diffusion material. A bit of Velcro to the bottom end and loop over flash. Although spending $14 maybe be easier. :)

I made bounce adaptor for my P7100 last year. The problem was it flashed my eyes after about 50 shots. I ended up seeing an eye doctor.

Red Eye could be avoided by not shooting straight into the persons eyes, just a bit of an angle.
Place a translucent plastic cup atop of the flash.
