The Korean company Gariz is so far the only one offering cases and straps in Alcantara material. They are quickly expanding the product range and this is a roundup of their actual products. I highly recommend their [shoplink 38169 ebay]Alcantara made products[/shoplink] over the Leather version for the following reasons:
– It doesn’t make you sweat.
– Increased durability and stain resistance over leather.
– It feels like leather but it is not.

Anyone try both the regular Gariz leather and the Lim’s. What are your thoughts on the two? Weight?> It looks like Lim’s is aluminum bae and Gariz metal=heavier?
I will be interested when they have an Arca Swiss integrated…
What’s the point of a half case?? Spend more money for nothing?
Protects the base from scratching. also some side protection from dings.
oh boy, there’s nothing worse than a scratch on the base of the camera… right.
do you handle your cam with silk gloves?
No, but I trade up every year or so, and there is much more value in a mint camera with all the box and paperwork. May very well Pick up an A9 if that comes out.
In the first place they don´t seem to be very useful, but the Gariz cases are great! They offer also much more stability and make it feel more rugged, IMO.
I have it, for A7RII. It’s the model from A7 that they are selling for A7II series.
The case DOES NOT follow the contours of A7RII!
Do not buy it.
Once I did fall very hard and scratched my A7II base (well I don’t care), but a case would have protected it.
Very happy though that I had my lens hood on, so I didn’t damage at all the 16-35 !
The lens hood got very scratched.
What’s the best case or half case for A7R II do you think ?
It happenend to me with my A7II. It fell on the street and my beloved 55 Zeiss got scratched. But it’s not that bad, since I will never ever sell that hell of a lens. 🙂
I have been looking for a silicon skin for my A7r and my A7r mk2 since these are much better than any leather material to protect the camera from dings, rain, dust, scratches, etc… but it seems none are available. A pity.
I am also looking for a transparent silicon patch to insert to the shoulder strap so that it does not slip from my shoulder. I have found none yet.
Any ideas ?
Not expensive or exotic enough for my tastes. I want crocodile skin leather softened with the tears of baby elephants.
I guess you got one of the limited edition with the tears dried by polar bear farts?
I just don’t get the whole half camera case thing. As far as I can tell they only add bulk and weight and nothing else. I guess some people like the way they look. I see them and wonder where the other half of the case is.
