Case or Pouch for the Visoflex 2? Leica D-Lux 7 Flash case, Leica case for Visoflex 020 or something simliar?

I am looking for a small case or pouch that can fit the Visoflex 2 and can be attached to a strap or belt (belt preferably).  I find that the pouch that comes with the visoflex to be useless and I want to be able to keep the Visoflex on me and ready to go without having to stick it my pants pocket or a bag.  I keep my m camera and lens in an Oberwerth Jan pouch and want to stay with the minimalist setup (I don't like walking around with the m around my neck or in a sling bag when I'm just out for a casual stroll).

I am looking at something like the Leica D Lux Flas case (found here: Leica D-Lux 7 Flash Case | Leica Store - San Francisco (leicastoresf.com)).  Does anyone have this or something similiar and can test to see if the Visoflex 2 will fit in it?

I also see that something like this exists:  Leica Case for Visoflex (Typ 020), Leather Brown - Leica Store Miami.  It looks quite big and for some reason the flap looks like it would open on accidently quite easily.  Does anyone have this and the new Visoflex 2 and can verify if it will fit and if the flap is secure?

Thanks

According to their latest video the folks at Red Dot Forum claim that this will work

For what it's worth, the case for the original visoflex fits the new one perfectly.

Yes, i agree.  The Viso 020 case works well with Visoflex 2 and fits slightly better if eyepiece is at bottom rather than facing one of the sides. 

But it doesn't attach to belt, unfortunately.  Perhaps stick it and another small bit or two into a belt-pouch such as the one that comes with the Leica 8x20 binos?

thanks.  I emailed the Miami guys and they pointed me toward this as well.  Anyone know if the Harry Benz urushi strap might be too thick for this pouch?

Can you buy the Leica 020 pouch separately?

Perhaps, it is available as a 'spare part' from Leica USA in New Jersey?
