Product Description

The Leica Cordura Case may say it's for the D-Lux 3, but it's actually quite versatile and can house most large cameras. Protect your camera from damage with the strong Cordura outside and avoid scratches with the soft, plushy inside. It also includes an extra pocket that can be used to store SD cards and an extra wide shoulder strap. Incredibly durable design. Includes a pocket that is ideal for an extra SD cards. Hard Cordura on the outside, soft and plush on the inside. High quality plastic clasp and wide shoulder strap. Large size for large cameras.

1.0 out of 5 stars FORGET IT, March 27, 2007

By 

Sebastian (Southern Oregon) - See all my reviews

Very large case for such a small camera. Has a pocket for an extra SD card or two, but nowhere to put an extra battery. Strap is very wide and uncomfortable. Very well made, very impractical. I returned mine.

5.0 out of 5 stars good alternative to the leather cases, January 25, 2009

This review is from: Leica 18668 Cordura Camera Case for D-LUX 3 Digital Camera (Black) (Electronics)

I will primarily use this case for backpacking, so I was looking for something more durable and secure than the other Leica/Panasonic options.
I use this case for my LX-3 and it fits very well. With the lens protruding about 1/2" from the camera body there is also room for the strap (which I won't be using) or a couple of batteries. Very well made and a simple belt loop on the back. Not cheap, but excellent quality and shipping from DB Roth was via USPS and took about a week.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality Item - Fits D-Lux 4 Too!, December 31, 2008

This review is from: Leica 18668 Cordura Camera Case for D-LUX 3 Digital Camera (Black) (Electronics)

Case just arrived (very fast shipping from DB Roth) and exceeded my expectations. It's not actually black, but a deep grey/blue color - very classy and understated. Because its not "fitted" it happily accepts my D-Lux 4, which is a wee bit bigger than the D-Lux 3, with enough room to tuck in a wrist strap and a little pocket for an SD card or two. Inner lining is super-soft and plushy; outside is hardy cordura. Good quality plastic clasp and heavy duty, wide (over an inch) shoulder strap, which can be removed if you like. All-in-all a great alternative to the $150 fitted leather cases for the D-Lux 4 for about one-third the price.
