Quick release rack recommendations?

I'm looking for a rear rack that is easy to take off and put on. Obviously I am not looking for a high carrying capacity. I have some fender eyelets available for it, but nothing on the seat stays. Something that attaches to the seatpost and maybe via the QR skewer on the rear wheel would be ideal. What are my options?

Don't know about the QR part, but something like this can make a rear rack feasible on a bike w/o proper mounting options on the seat stays. There are other brands, too. That's what I have on my bike.

As for the QR skewer, if you're not carrying a lot of weight on the rack, maybe you could try running the skewer through the holes at the bottom of the rack (instead of using bolts and the eyelets), but that's pure speculation and I'm skeptical it would work. Others probably have thoughts on that.

There's always this type of thing if you're not going to carry a lot of weight.

I have this one. Very strong, Easy to put on and quick to remove.

have you thought about p-clamps? Most bike shops I've been to have them.

Something like these:
