For the cost of the JMI case you can buy some top notch EP's (or other gear you may need), that's exactly what I did. I went to Bintel and got some great advice, as always, and spent my cash on things I will use more frequently, a 9 and a 16mm Nagler. Of course it depends on your situation as far as travel goes. My LX90 travels in a large trolley type duffel bag. I just make sure when I pack it that the base sits bottom down just in case I use the trolley. Wrap it in bubble wrap before it goes in the bag and I'm away, duffel bag in one hand with the accessories, tripod in the other and camera gear in my backpack. Of course if you are flying anywhere or bush bashing I wouldn't recommend this as the way to go and definitely think about the JMI case, it looks bullet proof.
If you have your original packaging it might pay to go to a luggage shop and see if they have something that will fit the original packaging in and you have a custom made solution.
Good luck with it and if you do source a case please let us know what you decide, somewhere down the track I think I will go hard case as it is a small price to pay compared to getting somewhere and having your pride and joy destroyed.
