Leather is "real" and thick: yes but the dimensions are too short and the case strongly on the lens. You almost need a shoehorn to get my TZ7 in the case and the same in reverse. Total magnetic closure is struggling and the case yawns a bit! Although given the small pocket inside SDHC yes but again too short and badly cut. Insert the card again but it's going to recover, you need the knife MacGyver! In addition to the problems mentioned at the beginning, I'm afraid to blow my SDHC: useless. Conclusion: I do not recommend this case.
