The instant I saw this case it convinced me that I needed to buy that G1X I've been eyeing just that much sooner!
I collect and shoot with old/antique SLRs, many of them accompanied by their own custom leather cases, and it's certainly "about time" a company went ahead and custom made cases because DAMN are they the pinnacle of style and function!
I've never carried around a separate foam/fabric camera bag, and having one for the Canon G series has always been unnecessary given the lack of fragile detachable lenses. This case best suits my needs of 'stuffing camera in bag/backpack and getting out the door' while still not taking up too much space in whatever bag i'm carrying that day.
The materials are very nice and well manufactured, the brass snaps do not seem cheap and there is a nice velour lining on the inside. I especially liked the matching strap and the ability for it to be mounted on a tripod while still in-case.
I love that this case is also 'incognito' in that if you're walking around on the street (unless someone is really looking closely) the case reads more as an actual vintage camera (which generally speaking camera thieves are not so interested in). Obviously though shooting with it (especially with the swivel screen out) will show your hand, so to speak.
I do not find the case interferes with camera function: when seated properly in the case the swivel screen's motion is not interrupted from any angle. When I first fitted the case on I was a little confused by the part that swings over and protects the lens; I thought it had to be removed every time while shooting but after a few minutes I figured out that you could just unsnap the front/bottom snap and swing that portion of the case over and under the camera for shooting without having to unsnap the sides (given the screen is not swung out)
All around excellent casual case with great style, I wouldn't run around in the rain with it, but who does that with their camera anyway?

Best Deals for MegaGear Ever Ready Protective Dark Brown Leather Camera Case, Bag
Made well and a great price. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the LCD swivel screen hits the button snap when the LCD screen swivels to the extended position.Honest reviews on MegaGear Ever Ready Protective Dark Brown Leather Camera Case, Bag
This MegaGear case is good looking and well built. Just as advertised; and it fits over a Lensmate filter adapter with a UV filter attached. If you add a snap-on lens hood it will still just fit but you shouldn't need a lens cap with this case, especially if you have a protective filter over the lens.For most shots you'll want to remove the front/top/back piece it's just a snap on each side and one on the bottom although you can still take pictures with it attached; and the swing out screen is not inhibited by it.
If the bottom tripod fitting had been just a bit farther from the bottom snap you could fit a snap-on tripod plate to the camera through the case and that would have been very convenient. I find myself removing the case entirely when I'm in great picture country and want to take a lot of shots: the desert, mountains, etc. since this case does not deploy for shooting quickly enough on those days.
Somehow this retro and very handsome case suits the G1X, which I think of as a technical breakthrough and first of its kind in serious photography.
