could only be good for protecting the camera while it is in a sturdy or dusty place or in long-term storage. Not recommended for daily use.

This case is very nice. It fits the XZ-1 really well. The bottom snap is a little hard to close/open, but should loosen up with time.There are reviews for other cases similar/clones to this that say it is too tight, but I haven't had any issues. The main body/screw in part of the case fits snugly and attaches to the tripod mount. The lens/screen cover snaps onto that. The lens cover area has plenty of space to snap over the original lens cap, and should fit the Olympus LC63a Auto Lens Cap just fine. I don't think it'll fit over the other knockoff lenscap (the kind that have 3 doors instead of 4) as it protrudes quite far.
The only thing I'd like to see done differently with this case is with the tripod mount area. It sticks out quite far and would like to have seen something that screws in flush to the case with the aid of a penny or something... or at least a more low profile knob.
Other than that, this is a great case at a ridiculously low price, so pick one up if you don't have one.
Oh, also comes with a nice neck strap.
**UPDATE**
Just got the Olympus LC63a Auto Lens Cap, its really nice. The case has no problem accommodating the slightly bulkier lens cap. This case is really great. I'm replacing the bottom retaining screw with a low profile one (just remove the bottom liner from the inside, pop off the screw retaining ring, and swap in a new screw, available on amazon).
