Assuming you got the Fixed magazine that has been released not long ago, no doubt you've read about the lock holster from Fabric Horse that's reasonably cheap, made of recycle material (what's better than salvaging car part for cycling used?), and simple to use.
I just got mine last week, it's simpler than I thought and it look like summat you could make yourself, the idea of using car seatbelt is genius as the material is quite strong, doesn't seemed to stretch overtime and it's quite light, it's design to go on the belt and as far as I know, hold the Kryptonite Evolution Mini without complication, it look like it won't hold it and would fell off, but I assure you it wouldn't, in fact it's a bit hard to push it off by force.
After riding around London for a week with it, it's much more comfortable than I thought it would be, it take me a short while to get used to the weight on the belt but otherwise fine, I got so used to it, that it made an embarrassing "clang" as I forget I was wearing a lock when I went to the toliet as it drop to the floor, you work out the rest.
£4 for a lock holster, add an extra £3 it deliver to Londinium from Fabric Horse's website, even with the P&P I think it's a great little product, well recommended for only £7.
edited it has been one month and so far it still hold up remarkably well, slight sign of used (darker due to dirt), but it still in what appear exactly the same condition as I got it.
