Current and future E-PL5/E-PM2 owners may be glad to know that Gariz just released their new high quality case. And they are already available on eBay:

There is also another E-PL5 ISO test posted by the Hungarian website Pixinfo. Sadly google translation tool doesn’t work on that website so you can just take a look at the ISO test images.

E-PM3?
LOL
With current trend of upgrading every 1-2 years, I kinda lost my appetite for expensive camera cases.
But! Anyone to suggest good screen protector for EPL5, please?
I agree, theses are throw-away consumer cameras. Your case is gonna be more expensive than the camera in a couple of years.
Awaiting J&R to get the kits in stock to order an E-PL5. Can hardly wait!
Am I the only one who can’t stand these frumpy coarse-stitched strap on half assed cases? I know they serve a practical purpose, but I don’t think I’ve even remotely liked a single one I’ve ever seen. It’s a mismatch of aesthetics and just doesn’t work imo :S
Useless retro-hypster garbage if you ask me 😉
I’m all for retro-hipster garbage but I still can’t see the point. They don’t actually cover that much due to the screen/buttons and so they only really protect the base. People claim they give it some ergonomic bulk. I’d rather buy one of the grip+plate set-ups i’ve seen.
I’ve never understood cases, I never treat my camera’s like babies, hell for the first year I threw it everyday in with my bag and no protection.. still looks great.
I think they’re for people that are whole heartedly consumed by GAS and must buy more and more things, and for a few nervous nellies that genuinely think exposing bare camera to the outside will hurt it. Same people that slap UV filters on every lens I bet.
They’re so ugly, make the camera a mess to deal with, and make you look like someone who is more interested in walking around with an accessory than taking photos.
Looks garish. What makes it “high quality”? Is it made from vegetable-tanned goat leather? It looks more like the “finest Corinthian leather” harvested from Ricardo Montalban’s personal Chrysler Cordoba. 😛
Why can’t they make one that would look decent on the white camera? I was really disappointed that Olympus didn’t make the E-PL5 in red like they did the E-PM2 so I had to order white
As far as cases go, these are gorgeous. I would never buy one though. Akin to a beautiful lady in an expensive dress. While the dress is fantastic I’m more interested in what is underneath.
88$ for a case when ebay is full of 8$ cases?? Okay, in the moment these are for epl3, but the pl5 is almost identical, I’m sure it fits to an epl3 case… Just another ripoff – and if you sell your cam in 2 years, then you loose this 88$ together with the devaluation of the cam.
If you are worried about devaluation, stay away from portable consumer electronics 😛 How much do you think my 4 year old laptop is worth these days?
