Product Description

The high-grade Leica C-Lux 2 leather case is inlined with micro-velour, and is very effective in protecting the surface of the camera against scratching and other abrasions without actually increasing its overall size. This means the camera is able to retain its tiny dimensions while being fully protected, and it still looks great on any occasion. Also available in black and red.

Very elegant case. I was surpised to see that it is sort of a hard leather case. The color shown is accurate. It looks fantastic with the BROWN/RED Panasonic model. DOn't think you're getting a soft leather pouch with this one...

Expensive, but it it's very nice.

After investing a good amount on money into a Leica C-Lux 2 I wanted to protect my investment with a nice case. The Leica leather case is a very well made case. The quality and fit and finish are great. It should last far longer than the camera.

The belt loop is nice and the case does not feel to bulky when attached to my belt. The cover is secure but easy enough to pull away to retrieve the camera. So far so good...

I would rate this case five out of five stars if not for it's one inherent flaw. The C-Lux 2 has a slider style power switch on the top of the chassis. For no apparent reason, when used with this case the power switch can inadvertently be moved to the ON position while in the case. This could be devastating to your camera since the lens will try to expand out but will be stopped by the case. This could burn out the motor and basically destroy your camera. The only way to avoid this is by putting the camera in picture review mode so when it turns on in the case (and it will) the lens assembly will not open. I also recommend using the power save mode so the camera will automatically turn off after a few minutes otherwise you could drain your battery.

I always worry that one day either my wife or I will forget to turn the dial to picture review mode and the camera will be no more. After paying so much money for the camera and this case Leica should be able to provide a fun and worry free experience.

I was worried when I ordered this - what the leather would actually look like. But it is great and I really like it. It is a pleasure to look at.
