Softbox for speedlite and profoto strobe???

Hi!
I would like to get a medium portable softbox which I can use with my Canon flash and profoto strobe.
I have looked around. I like Photoflex Litedome and Wescott Apollo 28 a lot but the problem is that they only work with camera flashes but not with powerful strobes. At least that's what BH says on its website: "for camera flash only".
Do you know any softbox/octabox on which I can set up my camera flash and a profoto speed ring as well?
Thanks!

Not sure about Profoto, but
Kacey bracket
works with Elinchrom.
Photek's Softlighter II
is an option as well, it's a hybrid between an umbrella and softbox, and works with speedlights since it doesn't need a bracket. Very affordable.
Finally, googling will surely turn up plenty of DIY options.

B&H probably means that you can't use these soft boxes with hot lights -- they'll catch fire. I have an Apollo 28 and have used it with both speedlights and monolights with no problem. As long as a light has an umbrella hole, it will work.

I have the westcott apollo 28" and it is useless on my profoto acuteb heads. I'm just going to use a bigger softbox for my profoto gear and leave the westcott for speedlights. A 28" softbox it's only good for 3/4 portraits anyway really.
