Alternative cover/case for M10??

Hi all,

I'm looking for a protective case or cover for the M10, which would protect against bumps and rubs and light rain, when travelling with one lens and before "deploying for action".  In that regard, it would be great if the case could also fold-up and be tucked into a pocket.

I have the Leica small neoprene case, which I've used with the M9 and M10, but it is baggy and when folded is bulky and awkward to stow.  It also has velcro which makes an awful noise when removing!  The Leica nappa leather cover is also a possibility, but that also has velcro fastening.  I think that Leica make a case for the Q which has magnetic closure, but I've not been able to confirm if that's coming for the M.

This is emphatically not a question about half-cases, which is all that turns up when I search!  I don't want to stir that nest....

Any ideas gratefully received.

Thanks

Much against my normal practice I got one of these.

It’s MUCH better than I thought it would be (black / white stitching) and I think it will stay on!

I like the leather pouch #14893  - I think I'm gonna get one myself.  According to the comments on the B&H site, it will also fit a Q2 with handgrip, and even the M240 size body.

Or maybe one of these, I have on, bought two about twenty years and they served me well. Unfortunately I lost one 🙄 and I ordered the Leica neoprene case. It hasn't been delivered yet, so I can't compare for now

Update

I ordered my leather pouch #14893 a couple of days ago and it arrived today.  This is a truly excellent little camera protector-cover.  It's made of soft, supple black leather with a soft synthetic lining.  There is a lightweight padding feel to this pouch, but it is not bulky or thick.  The #14893 pouch fits both my M10M with my 28mm Elmarit lens (hood attached), the M grip and Thumbs Up attached as well as my Q2 with the lens hood, Leica grip and the Thumbs Up attached.

For $140 USD, this is one of the best deals to be had from Leica.  Everybody better order theirs quickly, before Leica realizes what a good deal this is and adds $100 to the price.  😳

I’ve been pretty happy with the Hardgraft pop-up case. I’ve had it for around four years now… camera strap stays around me, the case folds up and can fit in a larger pocket, easy to get the camera out when I want to use it. Not cheap, but I haven’t felt the urge to re-buy something else.
