Panasonic LX3 - DMW-CLX3 Leather case The DMW-CLX3 is difficult to find. Some ebay sellers will send it to you straight from Japan. I was lucky enough to get it here in France trough a person who ordered 3 of them from Japan by mistake and resoled them for less. Less meaning less then the crazy 120 dollars you are currently paying for the case on ebay. Pretty expensive but pretty effective. Good protection, minimal space consuming and a nice leather feel. After a few days of use I have one annoying aspects to point out. You have to unmount the case each time when you want to: a - connect your camera to your computer b - take the SD card out c - recharge your battery Basic manipulations require the unmount of the case. A turnaround to the connectivity issue would be to use one of these Eye-Fi SD cards that will transmit your images to your computer wirelessly. If I get in touch with one sometime soon I will test it with the LX3. The DMW-CLX3 case is really nice and feels really like the dedicated case for the LX3. It's is too expensif to my taste but the design feels like the authentic cases of old film cameras and this really ads that little extra touch to the already amazing LX3. The design of the case can be improved, to fit a more quick digital use. Maybe by keeping access to the USB and battery compartment, somehow. I will come up demonstrating video of the DMW-CLX3 case really soon.
