Gariz vs Zhou half case?

[Jarle Aasland]

Gariz is more expensive, but allows you to open the battery/card compartment without removing the case first. Zhou case seems to offer better protection around the strap lugs. Can't decide which one to get (if any).

I have the Gariz case. Not crafted leather ala Zhou but functional and well made (like most Gariz products). A snug fit, too, with good spacing for the strap. I'll snap a picture tonight to share.

well, mr.zhou is a member here and i like that...i have his case and it works fine but then i rarely change cards or batteries when out shooting...but if i did it would take no longer than getting the bottom plate of off the m9 to perform the same task.

Sorry for not following up on my promise sooner. I finally got around to uploading some photos of an X100 in the Gariz case. Enjoy.
