Case is too tight [Posted on 2006-12-13] I just received this item. Camera case is too small for Leica D-Lux 3 camera. I even think I scratched the LCD display in trying to see if fits. Cover closes too tight over the lense with lence cap on. I am returning this right away.
This is a terrible product. [Posted on 2007-07-20] This is a terrible product. I did not believe the other reviewer and went ahead and ordered this product, thinking "How could Leica sell a case that did not fit their camera?" I was wrong. This case does *not* fit a D-LUX 3 at all. Moreover, the quality is so poor that Leica should be embarrassed to put their name on it. It feels like it is made of cardboard with a thin layer of leather glued onto it. Even if I were able to force the camera into this case and somehow managed to close the cover, which latches via a magnet, the camera could easily fall out. It has a belt loop, but I don't think it would be strong enough to survive a single use. Do yourself a favor, DON'T buy this case.
Camera fits fine--questionable durability [Posted on 2008-05-09] I am not sure why the other reviewers have an issue with the camera fitting into the case. The camera fits in the case very well. The camera must be inserted into the case in a certain direction (flash end in first), so I can only guess they might have tried to force the camera in the wrong way.
I agree the leather is quite thin on the case. I don't feel this case is of the quality I have seen from other manufacturers. The belt loop is very small and the leather thin. Repeated use might stretch the strap beyond the breaking point--I will have to see over time.
I agree this case is not of the same quality as the great camera that should fit inside.
