I am looking for a soft neoprene case for my CL when fitted with the 18-56mm lens.  I like to carry a camera with a soft cover on for protection, both on my body, and whilst in a daybag that is not a specific camera bag to avoid drawing unwelcome attention.  Has anybody found one that is a good fit and easily available on-line?

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

Leica has with code 14867 a neoprene case for M cameras. The one with short nose fits quite good with CL. Obviously is a little bigger than the camera but i often use it especially when traveling with a monoshoulder pack. Just go to leica store and give a try

Op/Tech USA Soft camera and rangefinder pouch, available on Amazon.  All sorts of different configurations for various lens sizes.  Their individual lens pouches are also nice.

Thanks for the two replies.  I am looking for a reasonably priced item which is a good fit for storing camera in a backpack or similar.  The Leica info is useful thank you, but the Leica price is, as usual, high for an item that has no specific reason to be Leica made.  What I am really looking for is info on a specific model/size of neoprene case that somebody has fitted to this CL and lens combination, that I can order on-line and avoid hunting multiple stores. Thanks

I was on a similar quest, I have one that works perfectly for my Canon point and shoot.  I bought this for another camera OP/TECH D Series Compact Soft Pouch for Camera - Black,7401084 https://amzn.eu/d/b4cLTra and it will just go on the CL with a small lens but will not fit with the zoom.  I don't use it regularly as it's cumbersome to get on and off in use, although it provides protection if the camera is packed away.  You may find a model that fits but the design is not practical for daily use, at least for me.  For now my CL lives in a Peak Design Sling, which is small and enough space to carry the camera and the 18-56 plus another lens or small camera, plus 2 spare batteries.  That fits into my bigger camera bag for travelling.  Highly recommended.

Thanks andy3009.  I assume that the Peak Design Sling, to which you refer, is the 3L size?

I purchased a soft neoprene case for Leica Q which also fits CL+ 18-56mm well.
