Hi there

Just found a great way to protect my glasses. It really easy and really cheap. Best of all it does not require epoxy or any adhesive.

It seems to me that your ever-ready case was made with a removable front flap. Is this correct, or did you change the button for the front flap yourself?
I have only been able to find the old Leica M ever-ready cases with a front flap that is permanently fixed to the case, either with stitches or with a button that cannot be opened, only turned so that the front flap can hang down when shooting vertically.

Soft Rubber Key Identifier

Its a soft rubber key identifier that I bought at the local key maker. It so happens that I am able to fit the rubber thingy over the M3 rangefinder ring that protrudes.

cost: less than USD0.20.

Let me know if y'all need a close up pix

Zerobutton>> Its an old case with a fixed cover. However it was connected to the case with 2 cm of crumbling leather. You see the hinge has given up the ghost after decades of stress, so I got my tailor to cut it off.

Would like a nice case, any suggestions?
 
Nice. Thanks for posting this. Even if the ring doesn't protrude, a bit of contact cement would hold it on, and it's easy enough to get off later if you wish.

OK. I see.

Regarding suggestions for a new case:
I have been looking into Leicatime´s and Kameraleder´s cases. I would like a case with a screw for the tripod mount thread, that it is possible to turn with my fingers. Mr. Crescenzi of Leicatime has a version with a screw, but it is turned by means of a coin or similar tool. Kameraleder makes a case that is very similar to the original Leica M ever-ready cases - also in a half-case version without the front flap.
If you can live without the screw, it seems most users here vote for the Leicatime case - also called the Luigi case:
