Anyone have the "official" case for a Z1?

I just ordered the black leather case for my Z1 from ebay, and I have a question. If I have my neck-strap attached to the camera, can I bring the strap out from under the case top in a way that allows me to carry the camera around my neck, but with the case on the camera? I hope I explained that clearly. :think:

Your case must have loops in the top flap that allows the strap to pass through the case and attach to the camera body. In that case, the case will be dangling from the camera while u shoot. Not very convenient if u are shooting in portrait mode though.... I find the strap an obstruction at times even...

I received the case yesterday, and I love it! It's lightly padded and semi-hard so it keeps it's shape even when the camera is not in it. It's made of a buttery soft black leather. It has a little pouch on the inside where you can keep a spare SD card, a belt loop on the back, and you can bring the the neckstrap out from under the case lid so that you can carry the camera around you neck while it's in it's case. If you want to use the camera, you simply remove the case entirely. I'm glad I got it.
