[QUOTE="shinglj, post: 33578, member: 954"] This Gariz case looks like a quality product and it is good that you can remove the battery/card without removing the case . I recently purchased a similar but much cheaper half case from [url=http://www.etsy.com/listing/52132991/handmade-half-case-for-leica-x1?ref=sr_list_1&ga_search_query=leica++x1&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade]Handmade half case for Leica X1 by Pacharak on Etsy[/url] It is OK but the fit around the lh side of the lens ( artfully hidden in the photo ) is a bit tight ( or maybe my lens is in the wrong position Leica's QC nowadays leaves a lot to be desired) and you have to remove the case to access the battery/card which doesn't sound a big deal until you have to do it in the open air and you don't have a small coin to unscrew the case retaining screw . If you have a viewfinder and are tempted into any case which requires the viewfinder to be removed to use the case you will regret it . shinglj [url=http://therollingroad.blogspot.com/]The Rolling Road[/url] [/QUOTE]
