There is a case mentioned in the Leica M Compendium (which I think is 
made and sold by the author) which seems similar to some of the small 
cases several people have described here. Unlike an everready case, the 
camera simply slips into the case and a flap closes over the top, kind of 
like an envelope. The straps stick out the sides. The camera does not 
attach to the case. It's intended as a case for storage and transport to 
protect the camera and lens.
