I had my name on a wait list at Leica Miami since May 25th, and received an email from them two days ago stating that my name had reach the top of the list and I had 36 hours to respond before they moved to the next person on the list.   However, I would not lose my place on the waiting list if I were unable to respond in the 36 hours.   I was happy to advise them that I had already received my Q3 from B&H on September 14th (having placed my name on B&H waiting list the same day) and they could remove my name from their list.   Just posting for those of you who are on the waiting list at Leica Miami.

does the Q3 need a grip? in celebration of B&H's email today saying they have no idea on when my order will be fulfilled I'm thinking of cancelling the wireless charging grip and the egregiously priced wireless charger. 

In my view yes it does and I have cancelled the charging grip/charger and bought a third party grip. Without a grip I would 100% go back to neck strap from wrist strap. I prefer to remove battery to charge. After an hour or more with a wrist strap I want a neck or preferably an over shoulders strap.

without hrip I find all the Q's a bit slippery feeling as if I could have an 'accident'.

If you are also looking for a half-case, I would recommend the LIM Q3 half-case, which comes with a grip.  Unlike the the Leica half-case (which I returned), the LIM also provides access to the SD card and USB ports.  I've been using it a couple of weeks and am very happy for the grip.  Now if Leica would start shipping the black thumb supports (which I ordered a couple of months ago), that would be nice.  I had read a couple of reviews that the LIM thumb support option (and others) become loose with use, so I've decided to wait for the Leica brand.

I fail to comprehend the brand who produces a grip without access to such ports and battery/card. It makes no sense whatsoever.

Perfectly agree with that.

I'have the Lim's half-case and for me it's the perfect solution... on the other hand the thumb rest is not perfectly constructed and I am looking to return it.

Thank you all for your feedback! I have cancelled the Leica charging grip/wireless charging pad and had already cancelled the leica half case and I'm going to use the refund to buy a lim's half case! although Oberwerth just came out with a half case that looks quite good with a secret airtag compartment, that could come in handy!

They also seemed to have the black Leica thumb rest in stock, but after I ordered the Q3 I checked again and they were sold out, like the rest of the world.

Did you get their last one?
