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! Alt
This case is very good quality is too small for the DMC TZ7. The camera just came in forcing on the cover of the lens. As the case is too tight, magnetic closure does not hold. Shame.
This case is perfect for protecting your camera, His magnetic closure is impeccable and you can wear it on your belt is a good thing, I am delighted with the product
