X100VI Leather Case Compatibility with X100V?

[Goot233]

Are X100V leather half cases compatible with the only slightly thicker X100VI? 

Asking for a friend. 🙂 

Thank you.

That is also my question. I have an Oberwerth half case with my X100V, I like it. The new X100VI is 2mm thicker, I can imagine that it will not longer fit into the case.

Besides size, the other main issue that makes previous cases incompatible is the location of the threaded insert on the bottom of the camera. On the X100V, it's near center, but due to the placement of the IBIS, the x100vi's threaded insert is much more 'forward' (closer to the lens). 

That should make cases that attach to the the camera there completely incompatible.

I've based this from the cut-away images comparing the two camera's internal designs.
