Holster-style camera case for the Fujifilm X100S (second version)
This second version of my case is slightly more complex than my previous one. But with only 10 parts, it’s still a very simple design.
Every stitch is done by hand and the entire case is made from Australian vegetable tanned leather with suede lining.
The case has a detachable strap and front flap
The camera slides in from the top. This works for me because I use a finger strap or wrist strap. Full size straps don’t leave enough room at the bottom.
The straps are removable and the main flap covers the lens with a shade attached. There is no snap for the main flap. It’s heavy enough so that it stays over the lens and the shade helps to keep it there, too.
The 1 inch strap loop is made from the same leather as the strap and has a cross stitch pattern in the back
The strap has 2 parts that are connected with a 1 inch conway buckle
The main flap can be removed for quick access to the camera.
The inside is lined with suede and has a raised centre so that the X100S slides in on the screen. The rubber around the eyepiece doesn’t slide as well as the plastic of the screen.
I posted this video on instagram. Love the sound of some solid snaps!

it would be perfect if it had a belt loop sewn into the back giving it another option instead of straps. No one does a x100s case with belt loop that I have found.
Ditto, I’m looking everywhere for a holster with a belt loop. None to be found. I do a fair amount of hiking and urban climbing and hate my camera swinging around – a belt loop holster would be perfect.
If it had that and came in dark brown, I’d be so sold on this.
I’ve been looking for something like this, but for my x20. I always like to keep a half case on all my cameras. Do you know if your case would fit an x20 with a typical leather half case on? I’m thinking the x20 is a bit smaller than the x100s so it might work. I too would like to see a belt clip of some sort. Better if you don’t have to remove your belt to attach. These guys http://tuff-as-nuts.com/about-belt-cases.aspx have a really nice metal clip that would work well on your case. Doesn’t add any bulk and is very strong. Could even use it as a stabilizer while using the shoulder strap.
I don’t think the X20 would fit in there properly. The case is a very specific size so while the X20 might fit, it would wobble around or the lens would be awkward and small in the slot of the case. Unfortunately I don’t have one to test it with.
I’ll have to think about a more generic design that will fit more universally (and with belt clip).
This is even better than the first one! But I do need a belt loop, neck straps let the poor old camera swing when you are climbing gates, hedges or stiles. Don’t forget the German Tenax studs ( used on tonneau covers etc.)
cute

Nice idea! Maybe I’ll add one for version 3 🙂

Hi there, close to my dreams…but it could be even still closer if it would look (as someone spook over version 3) like: http://us.leica-camera.com/Photography/Leica-T/Accessories-for-Leica-T/Leather-holster Is this not a blast? Phantastic?
Still available? This is just what I’ve been looking for!!
Please let me know if you can make this for me.
I’m sorry but it’s already sold and I’m not sure if there will be another one in the foreseeable future
