Does the Q2's half leather case by Leica fit the Q3?

Does the Q2's half leather case by Leica fit the Q3? I plan to trade my Q2 and would ideally like to keep the half leather case if it is a perfect fit. Considering the Q3's moveable rear screen, I wonder if the half case may be sized somewhat differently. I'd the case is not interchangeable, I'd just include the half case with my Q2 in the trade process.

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

This video shows that at least the footprint is exactly the same, not sure about the hight...

I don't know about Leica's half case, but I've tried with my Arte DiMano half-case and it does not fit ; the left flange (looking at the screen) encounter the screen frame and prevents the Q2 to sit in the case, so definetely a no for this one. So my Arte di Mano Q2 case will be sold soon.

The placement of the buttons on the right side (Q3) seem to interfer with the fit of some of the Q2 leather cases.

I have the Q3 and Lim's Half Case for the Q2. At first it fits perfectly, but when I tighten the screw, the folding display and the case get in the way and the display can no longer be unfolded. It's only millimetres, but they make it unusable. In other words, the folding mechanism of the Q3 means that many of the old cases will probably no longer work.

The Q2 handle, for example, fits perfectly.

Arte DiMano's Q3 first version case is available for pre-order. ONly 50 units for each case type.

No, the redesign of the back of the Leica Q3 means that the half-case for the Q2 will not fit the Q3.  The Q3's screen and buttons are in different positions compared to the Q2.
