m9photo Posted October 31, 2015 Share #1 Posted October 31, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm still waiting my Q to be shipped, in the mean time I'm browsing accessories. What is better a half leather case with grip or Q handgrip? I saw some online from Italian manufacturers for the half case and they are looking good.

vrsantoro Posted October 31, 2015 Share #2 Posted October 31, 2015 I purchased an Angelo Pelle half case with grip. The craftsmanship is superb, and it feels right. Also went to the LA Leica Store and purchased a leather Ona bag. The Q, in its Angelo Pelle case, along with lens hood, charger and extra battery fit very well.

losta Posted November 1, 2015 Share #4 Posted November 1, 2015 I just got a Luigi half case for my Q, nicely made, good leather. I have had several Luigi cases for M cameras. I emailed a few times with Luigi and his daughter (in Italy) paid via paypal on Sunday and it arrived at my home (in New York) on Thursday. Mine has a built in grip and battery door, no back cover or side cutout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrsantoro Posted November 1, 2015 Share #5 Posted November 1, 2015 How long will it take them to ship? The Angelo Pelle case (Camouflage leather) was in stock and was received here in CA from Italy in one week. The Ona case was in stock at the LA Leica store.

ricky1981 Posted November 1, 2015 Share #6 Posted November 1, 2015 I'd say it's entirely personal preference, I went with the grip because I prefer the "naked" look as (with the red dot removed) it makes the Q quite inconspicuous and because most of the cases have comparatively small grips and I prefer a bit more to hold on to. I also found with previous cameras that the cases can interfere a bit with accessing controls/buttons. I intend to keep the Q for a long time so I'm happy to sacrifice a few small scratches in the name of usability Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

creidtaylor Posted March 14, 2017 Share #9 Posted March 14, 2017 Just received this case for my Q. I'll take it with me on my next trip and give it a work out. Quality looks very good. It's called a Bodysuit by Mr. Stone, made in China. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

viramati Posted March 14, 2017 Share #10 Posted March 14, 2017 I prefer the Leica grip as it really transforms the handling of the camera and makes it so much easier to hold. I don't like the extra girth that half-cases add but that is just my personal view and I find that the thumbs-up just get in the way with ease of use of the compensation wheel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
