Subject: M6 case recommendations?

I'm fairly new to this list and apologize if my question has been 
discussed recently (although I don't find anything in the archived 
messages for March).

Does anyone have recommendations on a convenient, unobtrusive case usable 
with an M6 with 35/2 or 50/2 lens?  I want something that will protect 
the camera (on a neck strap) when I'm hiking or walking in a city, and 
which I can open or take the camera out of quickly.  At the same time, I 
want something that doesn't shout "Steal me! I'm worth a fortune!"  The 
nylon etc. bags for small 35mm cameras I've seen generally seem to expect 
a wrist strap.  I use a Zing neoprene case with an SLR, and I like it 
except that it sometimes takes me a while to get the camera back into it. 
Zing makes an accessory pouch which doesn't seem quite big enough for an 
M-size camera.

I'm generally curious to know what kind of case list members use when 
they're just carrying a single camera and lens, but want some protection 
for the camera.

Thanks for any suggestions,
