Sony A7II Gariz case review
Are you looking for a half case for your Sony A7II? South-Korean camera case manufacturer Gariz was established in 2003 by a professional industrial designer. They make high-quality leather cases, and they have their premium leather case for the ILCE-7M2 ready.
I’ve had a few Gariz cases, travelling all over the world, and they still look brand new. They have a durable metal base and are very user-friendly. You’ll be able to flip the screen, access your battery compartment, SD slot and all buttons/functions without removing the case. This might seem logical, but most brand manufacturers like Sony, Fujifilm and Olympus don’t have these features in their available cases.
Gariz case have found their niche here, providing logical, stylish and easy-to-use cases for the Sony A7II and many other mirror-less cameras. The prices are or often a bit cheaper than major brand cases, and I’d advise you to order through Gariz Case eBay with PayPal protection. I ordered mine, and it arrived within a week.

That’s case looks very fancy and well made. I particularly like it because it seems to increase a little the lower part of the camera, maybe providing some support for the “pinky” finger when holding the grip ( that’s a problem I have with both my A7 and A7II )! Am I right in assuming that?
There’s one thing I don’t like much, though: the case is attached to the camera by the tripod mount hole, providing another in its plate , but off the lens’ centerline. Even though I may be ordering one for the A7II.
Hi Lucas, Yes the Gariz case will add some height to the camera, making it more comfortable to hold.
Good point about the off-center tripod thread. You should see it as a walk-around case that is tripod mountable, and I’d personally not use it with an adapter and/or large/heavy lenses.
For my money, this is the case to get instead of the Gariz:

I had the Gariz for the NEX-6 and the bottom scratches easily mounting the tripod plus the metal bottom part was just this ultra thing part that came unglued (research it, I am not the only one that complains about it)! For the money, that was unacceptable.
And as mentioned, its not aligned with the lens either.
