I'm asking for thoughts, suggestions and any input on a Half Case for the M10-M.

Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays to each and all.

I have the Arte di Mano. Expensive but super nice. The Leica half cases are also good but just not as high quality.

I have the Luigi case with half a grip built in. Super good.

I have the Leica leather halfcase. Black on my M 10 M and brown on my 2 M 10s.

As with all my other digital M bodies, I use the Leica 14312 strap and thumb rest on my M10-M; no case.  Funny that so many complained about the thickness of prior digital Ms, only to put a case on the thinner M10.  I enjoy the tactile experience, aesthetics and design of the M body and have no desire to alter that.  I also would not want to sacrifice weather sealing by using any case that had quick card or battery access. Habits from decades of film M use are hard to break.  Others of course have different opinions; hence so many case and accessory choices. Every thread on this frequent topic brings up the usual suspects. Only way to really choose IMO is to try, just like most all subjective aspects of photography.

Look for the cases that allow access to the battery and card without removing it.

I just received my black half case from Luigi Crescenzi. I have one of his cases for my M262 and it's great. This case for my M10-M appears to be every bit as nice. I'm very happy!
