There may be a G1X in my future. I am looking at some of the accessories.
The price of this one looks too good to be true.

Has anyone used any of these MegaGear Leather Camera Cases ?

The old cliche is: "if it looks too good to be true, it probably is." Which is why I am asking.

They look good especially the tan leather one, only problem is no storage for my spare battery close up filter, and lens hood.

Thanks.. That's my choice too... And I guess, at $25, if it turns out to be cheap garbage, I won't have wasted too much.

That one reminds me of the case my dad had for his old Contaflex IV (external link).. which got stolen while travailing back in the 80s. He took that because he didn't want to risk losing his Honeywell Pentex Spotmatic. The Contaflex was the first SLR I used.

Looks a lot like the different brand case I bought from Amazon for my G12 -

I have a feeling that there is a single manufacturer and the cases are sold under various brand names. Having said that, I do like the case for the G12. Fits well and looks good.
