Half Case for X-Pro1? Choices?

[Paul T.]

Don't forget Aki Asahi.

his quality is close to Luigi's, if not equivalent (I owned a luigi M4 and HExar case). I like Zhou's cases (I have the CL), but Aki's is significantly better - especially if you're fussy about leather, as I seem to be.

I have the hand-dyed version for the X-100, it's very classy, ages nicely, and matches my Tricker's!

I'm just glad there are a large number of options - ya.. they can get to be quite pricey but I would hope they add a bit of "panache" to the camera *LOL* 🙂

Cheers,

I got the Fuji case with mine and it's just fine.

"for those using cases...does the camera feel 'fat' in your hands when shooting?"

My hands are somewhat big and quite a bit arthritic and the case makes the camera fit better. I'd drop it for sure without one.

I think it would be pretty cool if this thread had pictures of cases and owner impressions.

I can't post any pics, i don't have a case. I only have a fuji grip, but think I will ditch it for a half case.

Over all.. I liked all of them.. but I have just ordered the Angelo Pelle case in black.. so we'll see how this whole process pans out.. it's a lot of $$$ for a case but I hope it will be "worth" it 😀

I agree. It would be nice to see some Camera P0rn adorned in some lovely cases ;-) Anyone got a picture of the Angelo Pelle yet? I am drooling but alas have to look after the pennies/euro cents right now. 🙂

I emailed Angelo Pelle and they do not have any plans at the moment to make X-E1 cases. Also got a email from Luigi this weekend and they just received a X-E1 and can start taking orders for thier cases now. The Luigi case is the one I really wanted, but I think I may wait for a RRS grip/plate instead.

Well.. I put in the order with Angelo Pelle back on November 8 - I received an email shortly after telling me he believes the case would be ready as of Monday (yesterday) - I have yet to hear back from him however he also hasn't charged me anything - he sends an invoice via PayPal when it's ready. I'll keep people up to date on this and take photos of the case once it is complete and arrives.

Cheers,
Dave

Here's mine.

I use a Funper case. I emailed him on the Etsy site and asked him if he could use one of the other colors that he sells for his other cases. It took a few weeks but I think it was worth getting the color I wanted. He's really helpful if you email him. I believe he only sells the X-Pro1 case in black and dark brown.

It's pretty nice, although the buttons aren't quite as nice as the Fuji one on my X100 (they sometimes come undone). But I do like the rear protection and the quality of the leather much more.
