Seeking advice re SMALL cases for XPro3

I'm looking for a simple minimalist case/pouch/bag for an XPro3 with one lens fitted (either 23 or 50) only, nothing else at all. If I can fit a spare battery in the case, then the case is too big for my purposes.

This is so that I can take the camera with me, reasonably protected when I'm traveling light, whether air of motorcycle, on longer trips.

I've seen the half cases - pretty (and expensive) but definitely not what I'm looking for.

I have a Billingham for when I want to take additional lenses, accessories etc, so this case will be for a different, going-light, minimalist kind of travel.

Local shops have little selection, so there is nowhere I can go and physically look unfortunately.

• Don't want a half case, nor what used to be called an (n)ever-ready case
• As close to the size of the camera as possible - so there's little additional bulk
• Don't want any extra pockets etc

Someone out there has already bought the perfect case and I'd like your help please!

I have the same question for an X100v, but to keep things simple I'll make a separate post.

Thanks in advance...

In re both threads / requests - measure your cameras and check out camera belts and pouches - B&H or any of the major manufacturers - Thinktank, Lowepro, Peak, etc., etc.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I've tried that a couple of times and it didn't work very well, whereas someone on here came up with a near perfect suggestion for a Sony RX10.

Measurements and suggestions by most of the case manufacturers aren't that much use unfortunately.

Look at the Ruggard line.

Think Tank makes a modular belt system along with varying size bags to fit the job.

I purchased two Mega Gear neoprene cases from Amazon a couple of years ago. One for Fuji X-E3 w lens attached and other for Sony R-x10. Fits like a glove. NOT for Fuji 90mm (lens too big).. All other primes fit OK…

I like the Domke F 5xb . It is a small, sturdy over the shoulder bag and comes in various fabrics and colors. I have an olive green that is Water resistant. I used too have a black one. You can take the Domke label off if you want to.
