Megagear Fujifilm X100F Ever Ready Genuine Leather Camera Half Case And Strap, With Battery Access - Black - MG1281

Let's be honest, you buy the X100F partially because of the design and aesthetics so anything you put on it should look great. So I was nervous about buying this because it's hard to tell about build quality in the photos. Well, this affordable leather case has exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend it. I did have to put in a little work on it, but once the leather breaks in it looks and feels great.It does add a little height to the bottom, but it's not bad and the camera still feels compact. Also, I've found the battery flap and snap to work perfectly. It's not a problem to swap batteries and SD card. I don't use the strap it came with, but my initial impressions are that it's better quality than the stock Fuji one (a little wider, softer feel).Some reviewers said it didn't fit the phone well. For something this cheap, I wonder if build quality is inconsistent? Mine was well built however.PROS:* Fit/Finish: Once you break in the case with some Leather Honey it feels and fits perfectly. As with other leather products, the more you use it the more the leather breaks in and feels better.* Protection: It's exactly what I need, not too much. It gives the phone "bumpers" and doesn't slip or scratch if I set it down on hard surfaces.* Grip: This is one of the HUGE benefits. I feel a lot more confident now using the phone one-handed. The hand grip bump on the X100F is so subtle that I never really could get a secure grip on it with one hand. And those hot-shoe thumb grips always seem fussy and block buttons. The broken-in leather gives me enough grip so I can shoot one-handed and not feel like I might drop my precious.* Price: It's so very affordable.TIPS: When it arrived it looked, felt (and smelled) a little on the cheap-o side. The leather was kind of stiff, it didn't really "hug" the curves of the phone. My recommendation is to apply some Leather Honey to the case when you first get it. Put the case back on the phone and massage the leather around the different curves and bends of the phone. You may need to bend the area around the hand grip bump so it molds around it. Pay attention to the curves around the battery flap and make sure the flap is close flat afterward so it molds properly. Wipe off excess oils. After I did that and used the case for a while, the leather really started to soften and shape. The only areas that don't hug the phone are upper left and right corners on the side (see pictures), but that's minor in my opinion.

Very pleasantly surprised at the level of craftsmanship this Megagear X100F half case has. It’s not only nice looking but fits like a glove with nothing to complain about.Definitely aids in handling the camera wherever you grab it.The case itself is molded to an exact fit hugging the sides firmly and corners look neatly tucked.The bottom battery flap closes without issue and aligns itself perfectly. This is a very well made case for any amount of money.This is the best twenty dollars I’ve spent this year. Give your baby all the protection she so richly deserves.You won’t regret it.I sure don’t.

The color was a little bit off, I thought it would be a bit darker. The quality is really nice and it makes my camera stand out so it’s not a big issue.

My Megagear camera case just arrived, and it fits my X100F perfectly. I think it improves the grip and seems to be well made. The battery/card slot is easily accessible through the case. It was also very easy to attach.I'm glad that I bought it. Even the strap is an improvement over the Canon strap I was using.

I've been hesitant to get a half case for my new (to me) X100F; I was concerned about the little bit of height it adds, and whether it would feel cheap and just not snug enough to feel good. I am so happy to report that it's actually great. This might sound crazy, but the half case actually makes the camera feel lighter; something about picking it up with the case on, maybe the grip or the material, it just feels really good. I got the black one for my silver X100F and it's awesome. I also put an Expertshield matte screen protector on it, and now I feel like I can throw this camera around, in a really good way. Somehow, setting it down on a table or something with the half case feels better to me; now it's not just the metal camera body clanking down onto my desk or whatever. I haven't used the wrist strap that came with it as I'm not a huge fan of straps, but the camera feels (and looks) really great now. Highly recommended!

Very nice looking half case. Comfortable to hold and adds a good bit of protection to the camera body. Doesn’t pull away or bend like others I have tried in the past. Access to the battery is convenient.

Case does NOT fit the X100, it’s obviously made for a later model. The description is plainly wrong. I tried to use the strap - useless, far too long and not adjustable.

Seems well-made and the leather seems to actually be leather.
