I'm really enjoying my Fuji X10. I figured a custom case would be nice for it. The build quality of this case is certainly very high.

The issue I have with this case is that the base "cradle" part has no locking or any way of connecting to the camera. The camera just slides onto it. If you use the neck strap, then the strap lugs help hold the camera to the cradle. I hate neck straps. When just using the camera and case cradle, they can completely separate.

I think it's a poor design. The base of the case cradle should screw into the tripod threads of the camera or something that keeps the two tightly together.

I have since returned the item.

This case is very well made and provides good protection for the excellent Fujifilm X10. It's all leather (including most of the strap) and lined with a soft suede that both protects and pampers your expensive camera.

Two small complaints though. First, the X10 is a fairly substantial compact camera and this case makes it larger still. I use my X10 as a replacement for my DSLRs when I don't want to carry all the bulk, and the X10 in the case is nearly as big as (say) a Leica M9. You can leave the top cover off and just use the body part of the camera, but that leaves your expensive X10 halfway exposed.

Other small complaint is that I'd like to have a small wrist strap with the case in addition to the longer neck strap. Including a small wrist strap would make the bulky case that much better, since the strap is quite a handful on its own.

Otherwise, it's a great case and worthy accessory for the wonderful X10.

When used with the included leather strap, the bottom has side snaps that loop around the two strap lugs and hold the camera just fine. It is very nicely finished both inside and out and will prevent scratches to your X10. The top uses a hidden magnet to allow very quick access to the camera. The color is a nice match with the glossy black fX10 finish. I have used the Fuji X100 case (which is identical) and it has held up very well and shows no sign of failure. I gave it four stars due to the price but that seems to be a common downside to all Fuji accessories.

I still find the design very appropriate for the X10. The quick detach allows you to access the battery and memory card very quickly. I do not believe a case that attaches through the tripod mount would be any good. In use, the design is very good. I do not use neck straps but a wrist strap and have had no problems with the case coming off on its own.

Honest reviews on Fujifilm Leather Case X10 for Digital Camera

I like how the Fujifilm X10 looks and enjoy taking pictures with it. The leather case for X10 from FujiFilm certainly looks good and suits well with the camera. The case is well constructed and even the leather strap that comes with the case is of higher quality than the one that comes with the camera. Also the case the offers good protection and coverage to the camera.

Here's the problem. I always use the lens hood. And the top half of the case doesn't fit the camera with the lens hood on. So if I want to use the full case, I would have to take the hood off every time. That's a lot of trouble.

And then its the access to the battery/memory card compartment. The lower half case covers the compartment door and you will need to take the case off in order to access the battery and the memory card. So every single time you need to download photo (via the memory card) or access the battery, you will have to take the lower half case off. That's quite a bit of trouble.

Though the case looks good and protects well. I ended up replacing it with a half case that I can access the compartment door without removing the case from the camera. And use a camera wrap to protect the camera while its in my bag.

Its a nice case, but not what I wanted.

The Fuji case fir the camera is really well made. However, the big problem is the design. Unlike other cases, when opened, the fold down portion is not attached in a convenient way to the rest of the case. It just snaps on. The problem is it falls off all the time since it is not fastened to the rest of the cast when opened and you have no place to put it. This is very annoying. Anyway, the camera is great. However, more thought should have been given to the case design.
