I just had the Arte di mano half case for the SL delivered. It is really beautifully made and with a precision fit which in my opinion is better than what I experienced with M cases from other suppliers in the same price league. 

 

If anyone is in the market for a case, this case can no doubt be recommended. I bought it from their eBay store.

I've had Arte de Mano case, but found the leather too thick. It seemed a little clumsy.

Have now bought a similar Luigi case. It is thinner and fits perfectly.

I've only had very good experience with the AdM cases for the CCD and CMOS M's. Haven't tried one for the SL yet, do they come with a strap? If yes, how good is the strap? To me, the SL is most unfriendly to shoulder/neck straps. The minute I took the straps off and use naked, my irritation level went down a dozen notches. Does a supplied AdM strap fare better than the one supplied by Leica? I use one SL mostly with M lenses and another SL with the 24-90 and 90-280.

There is no strap included, but if you buy the case you can order a strap with a discount. If it is better than the Leica strap, I don`t know.

The Sughero strap from Arte di Mano for SL quite comfortable, I thought it's big and bulky but not what I expected, it's ok in term of look but I prefer all leather strap from Harry Benz "Brogue SL".

Do you feel so? It's my personal experience, try one and you'll find out 

 

 

The reason I ask is the apparent contradiction: the second of your photos shows what appears to be the battery compartment covered and the tripod mount occupied by a screw that attaches the half case. So could you explain "and you still have your tripod mount plus a battery door"?

I use an old photo as 500kb restriction hassled me. Arte di Mano forgot to send me a tripod mounted screw at first. That I used tripod screw to lock the case onto the SL body. The spec is written in their ebay site, also whether or not you want to add a lcd cover for extra charge (I didn't get one).

I have the Angelo Pelle half case in Fox Brown. His M case with the built-in grip was superb. It does not have the battery case and I wish it did.

 

For a strap, I use the Peak Design strap which is very comfortable and spreads the load across the shoulder. I also have their hand straps (both designs) and with the quick release buttons that slide into the strap and the Arca Swiss compatible quick release plates onto which you can attach their button, it is a super system.
