Originally posted by Lhorn Anyone recommend a case or camera strap for the LX? I have what looks like an original strap with the correct lugs but would rather have a wider, modern strap with more robust padding. I see the OP/Tech strap is listed as working with the LX. Anyone have experience with that product? Far more than comfort I am looking for a strap that won’t fail. The LX’s lugs make me nervous.
the optech usa sling product works well but it does attach via the camera lug so I don't see how that helps your " concern "

I use them on my dslr cameras
Quote: Also curious about a tasteful case to provide some protection. I like the looks of the leather half cases that I see on Etsy. Anyone try those or have a similar item they can recommend? Not concerned much about not being able to use the B grip or even having full use of the timer. Thanks
if you can find one, there was a designated " ever ready " case produced for the LX, it is different from the others in order to use the LX features such as the timer. if you have the " A " or " B " grip or the winder or motor drive on the LX, the designated LX ever ready case will not fit. If you have certain view finders mounted, it may not close properly
" LX " will be on the bottom, " Pentax " and " Made in Japan " will also be on the case
please read @gofour3 excellent description found here:

other original " ever ready " cases might fit but without the ability to use some of the features of the LX
