Panasonic PS-HFX9K Leather Camera Case for Panasonic FX01, FX9, FX8, and FX7 Digital Cameras (Black)

Be aware if you purchase this item from Vanns. It is not what is proclaimed. To me it appears to be the knock-off that has been described previously. Is it leather? No, it's vinyl. That being said, for a knock-off, it's okay if you know that. Is it worth $10? Probably. My DMC-FX150 fits into it and the stitching is pretty good. It's very snug, but, the 150 is a bit larger than the other FX class cameras, so I can live with it. Knowing it's a knock-off, I can't recommend the product entirely. But, I'm keeping mine just the same, since does fit the camera and I just wanted a case to slip inside my pocket so the display wouldn't scratch. It does that well enough. The liner is adequate. But, if I was going to do it again, I would have paid a little extra for real leather since the fit is a bit snug and I don't see vinyl stretching out like real leather would. Clues it's a knock-off. It doesn't read Lumix, it reads Panasonic and of course, the vinyl.

This is a very poor replica of a real one. Construction is shoddy. The closure do not work properly.

I bought this case for the purpose of providing protection for, and easy access to, my Lumix FX01 for outings of not more than a day. It suits that purpose perfectly. It's attractive and well-made; it fits the camera perfectly; and its magnetic snap closure makes taking the camera out and putting it away almost a pleasure. Because it fits the camera perfectly, it doesn't have any space for accessories, such as extra SD cards or an extra battery, so for trips that last longer than a single battery charge you would need a larger case, or an extra case to carry those things, which is what I have. That case stays in my suitcase or in my hotel room on those occasions when I think I will need the accesssories. The PS-HFX9K is what I hang on my belt when I go out.

A very nice, but quite small, case, easy to open with the magnetic catch. Good quality materials. It is not padded, but should give adequate protection for regular use. Not waterproof nor particularly shockproof.

I purchased it for my wifes Lumix FX10. She just loved it. It fits exactly.
