Fuji X100s cases and bags

I've been looking for a case or bag to use to carry my X100s (when It gets replaced or repaired by Fuji) and I'm finding it difficult to get one that's just right. I like the official case, leather and traditional, but I would prefer something that doesn't say 'camera' when I carry just the camera when I don't want to carry my full camera bag and kit (I have the X-Pro1 and prime lenses). I've seen one so far but I think it's a little large ( Case Logic's SLMC-200 ) but I'd like to hear your suggestions for a good case/bag please.
 
I keep my camera in the Fuji Leather case for protection even if I'm using a larger bag to carry other odds and ends.
Any old bag will do then.
 
1. Just the X100s in a bum-bag (very rare).

2. Add accessories - spare batteries, cards, CPL) & daily essentials - phone, keys, wallet, etc - then the Domke F5xb (more often).

3. Add another compact camera or two to the mix, usually film - and the daily essentials - then the Bare Bones Bag (most often).

4. Add more again - including laptop/notebook - then the TTRS7 (ThinkTank Retrospective 7 (only once so far).
 
I put my X100 in a National Geographic A1212. Fits perfectly and has a slim front pocket that holds a spare battery, card and cleaning cloth. Nothing more. I either use the shoulder strap or - more often - detach it and loop it on my belt.

If I'm carrying more, then the Hadley Digital, with room for my wallet, sunglasses, phone, keys as well.
 
I use a Lowepro Passport sling. It works well as a shoulderbag, is somewhat water resistant, has an insert box which can be removed but is better with... its currently carrying my Nikon 1 stuff very comfortably, as well as wallet, sunnies, keys etc, and for the X100 + XZ-1 days, theres a compartment for each, as well as a filter or two. I normally have the X100 wrapped in a neoprene case in my regular bag, but in the sling, I can have filter adapter, filter and hood all attached and ready to go.
 
That looks a perfect fit inside Romi....and ample pockets for the necessary x100s extras. Just a shame about the form factor - it looks like a camera - or actually more a 'video' - bag. I prefer a little stealth with my gear...happy enough for them to look like hand or make-up bags instead. :blush:
 
Mark, you mean you're looking for a large clutch (haha)? but yeah, i know what you mean -- i generally hate lowepro's typical look. i just remembered when i used to live in NYC, i'd always see Manhattan Portage bags around. i'm thinking about picking this one up.. waxed canvas jogger. i have a thick dust rag i can wrap my x100s in when i pack it in there.

this looks nice, too, but i have the RRS grip on mine. so, i doubt it'll fit in this one.. camera case.

Romi, mate, you shouldn't show these to a bag-aholic. These are so sweeeeet. Reminds me of my Bare Bones Bag.
 
ThinkTank are pushing me to the Mirrorless Mover 10 as they are saying the 5 is too small.

i'm leaning more towards this one, myself.
 
Yes, that second one is the NatGeo A1212, which I use a lot with my X100. Spare battery and card in the front slot. Either the shoulder strap, or - my usual way - the belt loop.

The belt loop is velcro and you don't need to open the belt to put it on or off, very practical.
