No regrets. How often do you have the case on when going out to shoot? What scenarios do you like to have case on versus not etc? Just trying to see if it would be worthwhile for me to have a half case. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stays on 100% of the time... allows full access to SD/ battery if so desired. Case is for protection... and offers a bit of style... many different options for leather styles. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to see if it would be worthwhile for me to have a half case. Thanks in advance. Mine is also on 100% of the time. I got the bottom flap that allows full access to the battery and SD card so I will very rarely take the case off. Even then it’ll just be to check no dirt got in and is rubbing. This is exactly the way I used my Arte di mano case on my Q for 3 years. Now, I’ve sold the Q with the case and it’s darn near perfect. No dings, scratches or scrapes. I attach an Arca Swiss plate to the bottom when using a tripod. Otherwise, that plate stays in my bag. I got the 120 cm strap. I like to carry the camera across my body and around on my hip. It works for me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a relatively light colored leather case and it is interesting having people ask about my film or analog camera as they assumed by seeing the leather case it is an old camera. Sometimes I play along for fun and then I show them the back screen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad the much needed battery/sd access adds quite a bit to cost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertknappmd Posted May 15, 2019 Share #9 Posted May 15, 2019 My wife uses Luigi Crescenzi's Q and Q2 cases. https://www.luigicases.com/ They fit like a glove and are beautifully engineered. They are also hand made and customized.... Albert Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pharyngula Posted May 17, 2019 Share #17 Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) I'm intrigued by the LIM's half case in part because of the built in arca-swiss compatible base plate. This feature for me means that I truly could leave it on the camera all the time. It looks well designed and doesn't appear to add much bulk to camera - can someone please comment on the grip ergonomics and/or general quality? thanks, Doug Edited May 17, 2019 by pharyngula 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vrsantoro Posted May 17, 2019 Share #19 Posted May 17, 2019 I am a fan of the Angelo Pelle half-cases. I have his cases for my M Type 240, my Q and my Sony X100F. Excellent craftsmanship, quality and utility. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
