Congrats on the M11! I remember when I first got into the M system, I was terrified of even putting my camera down on a wooden table. Trust me, that first scratch is the worst, so getting a case early is smart. Most people dont need to spend 400 bucks for good protection though. Since you need it by Friday, check these two out.

• Lim's Design Genuine Leather Camera Half Case for Leica M11: My top pick. Pros: includes an aluminum base and easy battery/USB access. Cons: adds a tiny bit of bulk.
• TP Original Leather Half Case for Leica M11: Best budget option. Pros: super thin and very affordable. Cons: less protection on the bottom and you have to remove it to swap batteries. Go with Lims if you can find it... it feels way more premium for just a bit more cash and that aluminum base is a total lifesaver when you're traveling.

I literally gasped reading this because I dropped my first M11 on a curb once... pure agony!! My case saved the baseplate from a massive dent. For your budget and Friday deadline:

• MegaGear MG2059 Ever Ready Genuine Leather Half Case Leica M11: Fantastic for quick shipping and fits great!
• Gariz HG-M11BK Genuine Leather Half Case Leica M11: Amazing metal base protection and feels super premium. Protect that beauty!!
