I have been looking for a nice leather case for my X100T for a while. I was worried if the thinner camera shape would fit in these cases made for the X100 or X100s but it does. I tried the Gariz because it looked good and had a solid base with a tripod screw.
Gariz Genuine Leather BL-X100BK – No Longer Available For This Camera
The Gariz half-case fits the X100T well. It seems like it was made for this camera. It is tight and protects your camera. I have some of their wrist straps too. They are high quality and I like them.

Here are some quick pics so you can see the fitting. It’s as snug as a bug.
Fuji X100T Gariz Cons
There are a few small drawbacks I’ve noticed.
-The case needs to be loosened a bit to take out the battery. The battery tray won’t open enough to get the battery out. It’s not a big issue since I rarely change batteries, but Gariz could do better.
-It would be good to access all the ports on the left of the camera. Like HDMI and USB. I would like to charge my battery in the camera without taking off the case.
-I also want the leather to go up a bit more on the camera so that it’s close to the strap mounts. It would make the grip better I think.
Fuji X100T Gariz Half-Case Review Conclusions
I ordered this case as a test, but I really like it. It is a great value. My camera has some scratches, so I appreciate the extra protection. I will look for other cases, but the Gariz and the Fujifilm X100T are a strong pair and hard to top.
