I got this few days ago and fist thing I noticed was the case is not big enough to take the 35mm 1.4 lens with the hood, so each time you carry the camera you have to separate the hood and put it in the small rounded container which is included in the package.
Also this case doesn't support the macro lens (60mm 2.4). Since I have two lenses for this camera, this case is not that practical for me.
Pros: Nice leather, fits the camera very well, perfect for those who only prefer to carry one lens at a time
Cons: Not supporting the macro lens
I'm returning this and already got the ThinkTank Retrospective 5, which is big enough to take three lenses including the camera and small enough to carry it all day around!

It is a nice leather case that fits well.And recommend it with a BIG caveat
Do Not use the strap provided.
It attaches to the case and can come undone with your camera landing on the floor.
Luckily mine landed on the sofa.
Now using the strap that attaches to the camera, not the case strap.
Best Deals for Fujifilm X-PRO 1 Leather Case
I really wanted to love this case, it looks beautiful on the camera and it feels great. The main reason I'm returning it is because there is no battery/sd slot access. You have to completely remove the half case from the camera to swap out the battery or sd card. While the half case does come off with little effort, it does fit fairly snug and I'm worried that repeated use of taking it off and on will wear on the rubber grip.Bob
Honest reviews on Fujifilm X-PRO 1 Leather Case
After thinking about getting a cheap $20 knockoff case, I decided to buy the real deal Fuji case from Amazon. They had a great price. Even though I knew there were several things I don't like about this case prior to my purchase, and purchasing this in spite of its shortcomings was my own decision, I decided to let them reflect in my rating.THINGS I LIKE:
The case fits the X-Pro 1 with 35 mm, and doesn't fit the 60 mm. This is a positive! I only intend to use this case when I want to go really portable and not bother carrying a camera bag, and I don't intend on getting the 60 mm lens. Many of the knock-off cases are designed to hold the 18, 35, and 60 mm lenses, which makes the case too bulky for someone who has no intention of getting the 60 mm macro. If I ever get the 56 mm f/1.4 lens, I'll carry the X-Pro 1 in a small camera bag.
The item was being sold at a fantastic price on Amazon.
THINGS I DO NOT LIKE:
There's no battery and memory card access unless you take off the top lid and the half-case.
The half-case part is not as nice as the ones offered by 3rd party designers online. If these other companies made a semi-affordable full-case for the X-Pro1, I would have bought it instead.
The half-case was not as protective as the 3rd party designs, particularly the back. There's no protection for the LCD at all. It's completely open. Other products offer a built-in hand grip, which would have made this case incredible.
Again, I knew of the flaws before I bought this case, so I must have thought it was worth the asking price. So far, it has been! The primary factor for buying this instead of anything else is the compact lens section of this case!! The knock-offs are too big.
