Leather would not be a good choice for me becuase becuase I to get plenty wet all the time (besides I like animals).  The Leica case is probably works just fine for most people. I however am often in situations were as the previous poster noted – I cant use 2 hands or wrestle with the case. A one handed removal is desirable for me. I tried the Leica 10x25s in the Zeiss 10x25 case and they fit perfectly. The Zeiss case closes with Velcro and is easier (for me)  with one hand  deployment and returning them to the case. Its easier for me because I am able to grasp the side of the binocular body with the Z case. With the L case I am tugging on the neck strap or eye cups. The problem seems to be the strap fitting on the body of the binoculars  bind on the case as I remove them – requiring 2 hands 99% of the time and  excessive tugging of my beloved binocs.  I am thinking for my needs I will order the Zeiss case for the Leica and use them  for  those occasions when I need a hasty removal, which is all the time.   (B&H has it for $22). I will continue to stretch the Leica case till it fits like an old shoe! Of course if this is all I have to obsess  about – life is  pretty good!<a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=Search&A=details&Q=&sku=328208&is=REG&addedTroughType=search" target="_blank">http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=Search&A=details&Q=&sku=328208&is=REG&addedTroughType=search</a></blockquote>
