The making story of Fujifilm X-H1 leather case

X-H1 leather half case, camera case

The overall layout of X-H1  is square-like. When we designed this leather case, we wanted to retouch the square shape with the curved lines in order to strike a balance between the camera and the case. The result is satisfactory.

 

Having curved ear cap buttons on the both sides of the leather half case is a traditional and widely-used design in leather production. This purpose of this design is to cover the buckle positions on both sides of the camera with the curved cap buttons to prevent any scratching that may occur from the move of buckles during the use of camera. This is not just for aesthetic value but to give an extra layer of protection to the camera and allows the user to use at ease.

A small design can increase the stability of the camera case. This refers to the bottom right corner of the camera body and extend to the back from the handgrip leather area. In this case, we can make sure that the camera is 100% securely covered by the leather case.

We need to pay great attention to the height design of handgrip. Looking from the side of the rubber handgrip area, the shape is wide on bottom and narrow on top. This kind of irregular hand shape requires the consideration of the height design of the handgrip leather.  For this leather case, we decided to adjust the height of the handgrip leather to the same height as the rubber grip. The purpose is to increase the area of leather so that the user can hold the camera more comfortably.

To conclude, from all aspects of the leather case including touch, use, volume and overall balance, it presents a solid feeling to users. And I hope you would like it.
