A good case for the SL2

Hey guys (let's face it, there are practically no girls here ;))

I was wondering if any of you has experience with leather type cover / cases for the SL2?

i bought one in leather, I think it was from an Italian producer, Luigi maybe, but it was so big, it didnt "clinge" on the SL2 body and the whole camera felt a lot bigger.

 

I do have leather (fake leather (intentional)) for my M and Q series camera, but those cases fit quite nicely. 

 

And I do prefer to have a case since I don't get scratches as easily from putting the camera down clumpsy every now and then, etc.

 

So any tips on a good camera case for the Leica SL2 that fits tight, looks good and is good without making the camera too big?

 

Sorry for my bad English

Edit: I wonder if the case I had for my SL2 was made for the SL? Maybe it was the wrong size?

I think the problem is probably less the case than the body itself. The bigger cameras with ergonomic grips don't seem to do as well with cases as the boxier M cameras. Personally I think you would be better off forgoing a case, but if you want one it seems like Arte di Mano seems to be the company that has the best reputation for fit.

Thanks Stuart!

 

Actually, this also crossed my mind, that maybe the SL isnt as made for cases as Q and M.

 

I'll check out the mentioned case!

Check on ETSY Looks like there’s a good selection for the SL-2 with plenty of customer feedback. HERE  is one example.
