Scola77 Posted September 7, 2010 Share #1 Â Posted September 7, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) An absolute fantastic case. Fits the X1 like a glove, feels great in the hand and has a built in (small) handgrip. I use this with a Thumbs Up to give my X1 a very stable, secure feel. I just can't say enough how much this half case has made my experience using the X1 so much better. If you are on the fence, get it! Â I will try to post some pics later.

Scola77 Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share #3 Â Posted September 8, 2010 I like how the back is exposed (no flap). Â Â Â Â Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB W Posted September 8, 2010 Share #4 Â Posted September 8, 2010 It looks great and beautifully made, too! Fits the X1 very nicely! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyIII Posted September 24, 2010 Share #5 Â Posted September 24, 2010 It looks like an excellent alternative to the Leica hand grip. Â Rocky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FenderP Posted September 24, 2010 Share #7 Â Posted September 24, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have the Luigi half case and am not enamored with it. Maybe I'll get this one or the JnK one instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockyIII Posted September 25, 2010 Share #9 Â Posted September 25, 2010 Hi Scola, where did you order this case? Â Dale Photo & Digital has them in stock. I ordered one today. Â Rocky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phancj Posted September 25, 2010 Share #10 Â Posted September 25, 2010 It looks phenomenal, no doubt about it. Very well-made too. Definitely much better than the leica eveready case. Â My only concern: Since it is leather, in hot humid tropical weather like we get here isn't it a magnet for mould? I read somewhere in the X1 manual we shouldn't leave the camera in leather case for extended time. Â Also, since the lens cap is a bother sometimes do you think we'll ever see a case this nice but with an integrated lens barrel cover that flips downwards? Â Reason is also I think everything in the shots looks great except that lens cap. Â That way we can dump the removable lens cap for good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardM8 Posted September 25, 2010 Share #11 Â Posted September 25, 2010 Looks stunning. As the price probably was too. Â I still don't get the half-case thing though. I wait for Luigi to make a full case for the X1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do not see the issue of mold being a problem with this case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scola77 Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share #14 Â Posted September 30, 2010 Looks stunning. As the price probably was too. Â I still don't get the half-case thing though. I wait for Luigi to make a full case for the X1. Â The 1/2 case gives you modest protection against falls. When I am not using the camera it is almost always around my neck and shoulder. The case does an adequate job protecting the camera if it bumps against a wall or other hard surfaces. Â I love the Luigi case, but I prefer the low profile look and feel of the A&A. I do not like the big flap in the back of the Luigi to access the screen. I wanted a case that would blend in with the aesthetics and general feel of the camera as much as possible.

Scola77 Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share #15 Â Posted September 30, 2010 One more thing to add about the pictures above: the black of the leather and the black of the camera are much more closer in color in real life than in those pics. The flash of my Nikon really did not do the real colors in favors. When looking at the camera head on the blacks really do blend together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanzlr Posted October 1, 2010 Share #16 Â Posted October 1, 2010 congrats. I use an A&A half case on my M8 and it is wonderful in every aspect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielsan Posted October 2, 2010 Share #17 Â Posted October 2, 2010 i have the ever ready case, i think its great and i like original stuff but the main reason i bought it was the general protection, the ever ready case protects the X1 the best in my mind, also from dust when not used! So everything is sealed pretty good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
