I wonder why no XE2 is included

It depends on your view whether it's a crass idea or the bees knees. Leica are pretty good at bringing out limited edition cameras with funky, and dreadful stylised finishes, but they are limited runs so your not the only one to spend over the odds for something different. This has the advantage of blinging up your own camera without the production run and, it could become a one off that may add value... or not ;-) It's a nice idea but how many will be willing to use the service, time will tell.
At least this will not void your warranty as doing it yourself with a kit could have done.

I got mine over a year ago!

Nice looking, for a decommissioned camera in a cabinet. But all my cameras in use are always dressed with a half case. Such a nice skin doesn't make sense under this given condition.

I think that the choices offered in the link all come from Aki-Asahi.

You may be right NI... they look the same.

I agree. The blue version in the article is the same as the Aki Asahi version I have.

It appears to me, after having the Aki Asahi skins for about a year, that they are as durable as the original. I suppose time will tell, but I notice zero wear so far. My cameras get average amateur use... I'm not a war-zone pro.

It's embarrassing when a cheap consumer brand tries to imitate a luxury brand.

It's embarrassing when the luxury brand does it too...

I know what you mean, but what a horrible concept of a 'luxury brand', by all means, a 'quality brand' where you know that you're guaranteed quality. But 'luxury', it's just a bit icky.
