my gariz 1/2 case came in from korea yesterday.. bought the black one, matches the camera well!
the pros:
• adds a grip which I feel the d lux is sooo missing,
• fits very nicely,
• up to personal taste but the black one further adds the classy look of the camera
• access to battery and sd card compartment (vs the official leica ones which completely blocks the base)
• can still use tripod mount
the cons though? tripod mount is a bit off centred, haven't tried it but i'm not too sure if it can still balance on one of those mini tripods. it also adds a bit of bulk so forget about putting the camera in your jacket pocket when overseas. and 1/2 case is more like 1/8 case.. if you're thinking of using the case to protect the camera from fingerprint smudges etc etc, look elsewhere.. really, the only only added benefit i can see from using this is the addition of a hand grip + protection for base of camera
hehe sure can balance on mini tripods. i use the cam with gariz case frequently on a manfrotto table tripod.
1/3 case la hehe... 1/8 case abit too small.... protection also on the front and sides of the camera. top and back exposed.
