Discount Grip Case for Fuji X10 - Black - Made in USA by J.B. Camera Designs

Customer Ratings:

I was looking for a good half case for my X10 and came across the JB product. The case is terrific perfect fit with a stainless screw (tripod socket) to hold it on. The texture is firm but very grippy and the material is thick enough to provide substantial protection to the bottom and sides. Right where your hand would wear camera finish over time is where the case protects solidly. There is an opening for the card and battery door on the bottom and a little LCD bumper at the base of the LCD. Service and support were excellent from JB and I'd highly recommend both JB Camera Designs and this case. Outstanding product!

I was looking for a half-case for my new Fujifilm X20 and was resistant to the idea of a "plastic" half-case. I even made an inquiry with J.B. designs about the potential of the product being slippery in my hand. I received a prompt response that the texture of the material was designed to assist the grip. Of course I'm never going to handle the camera without a neck or wrist strap. Nobody wants a "wet bar of soap" in their hand when trying to take photos. Thankfully the texture does assist greatly. I don't see the material being a problem.

Now for the best part. The Grip Case feels great in my hand, better than the naked X20, and frankly better than a leather and metal bottomed half case from a well known competitor. I immediately noticed that the weight of the camera was not uncomfortable on the heel of the palm of my right hand. This comfort is due to the fact the bottom right hand side of the case is nicely rounded, unlike my leather case and metal bottomed half-case.

Now I have small hands and your experience could be different. But for me the Grip Case had a better fit on the camera's sides, and the front grip not flex like the leather case did Another plus is that there is a little plastic bump out under the LCD screen that gives the camera a little more stability. I think the company claims this helps protect the LCD should the camera be placed on its back on a flat surface.

I should add that I do use a Thumbs Up brand thumb rest that fits into the flash hot shoe of the X20, as well as a Thumbs Up soft shutter release button. The combination of these add-ons makes the camera a joy to shoot. They work in concert. Not that the naked X20 is difficult to hold or operate.

Minor cons:

Out of the box the half-case smells like a petroleum product. I'm sure it will wear off.

I also wonder how well the brass colored (provided) tripod adapter will work as it does not fit flush with the bottom of the camera. I suppose on a light weight, fixed lens camera this probably won't matter. There is a flat head screw that fits flush if you just want the keep the half-case secured the camera. A shiny penny is thoughtfully included. Perhaps it is also a discount ;)

I was bound and determined that this retro-styled X20 deserved and needed leather. I do love the feel, smell and look of leather, but as a practical matter this just works better in my hand than the much more expensive case I purchased before the J.B. Camera Designs case was put to work.

This is an unusual but incredibly useful half-case for the Fuji X10 that actually exceeded my expectations. I had expected something on the soft side, but in fact this bottom-covering protector is perfectly molded and cured to a hard, durable bottom cover for the X10 that really has no equal. The fit and finish are both superb. Most important, it does the job it's supposed to do, ie protect the bottom surface of the camera as well as, to a certain extent, the LCD. Remarkably, this snug-fitting, good-looking accessory gives you easy access to the battery & SD card. Nice! The grip portion gives the X10 a more substantial feel that the camera alone, and there's a robust, stainless screw for affixing the protector to the camera's tripod socket, keeping the protector in place no matter what. The company even provides a "good luck" penny for turning the screw! I can only hope that the company will be making similar protector products for my larger DSLRs like my 5D, 40D and t3i. I wouldn't hesitate one minute to purchase them if they were available.

Honest reviews on Grip Case for Fuji X10 - Black - Made in USA by J.B. Camera Designs

Nice fit. Very good material. Gives extra grip on the x10. Tripod screw at the bottom, too long and protruded though. Could have been s little shorter. All else is OK.
