Replacement cases

<h2> Replacement Cases </h2><P>Some Minox III, IIIs, B or C models do not come with camera case.Since these cameras were made from 50s to 70s, replacement cases are

hard to find. New replacement cases are only available for current production models Minox TLX or Minox EC/ECX .

Swiss Army knife stores sell a small leather case, burgandy color, hand made from genuine leather. This small leather case fits Minox IIIs

perfectly and can be attached to the belt.

Some militia supply stores sell black color nylon knife case, the smaller one fits Minox B or Minox C. This belt case is bigger than the

Swiss Army knifecase, not as elegant, but that is the only one I found so far that fits Minox C or B quite well. I tried MagLite cases which

from the outset look like big enough for Minoxs, but many stores do not allow you to open the plastic package to check. No, these cases

don't fit. My favorite is the Swiss Army knife case, it it handsome and fits so

perfectly as if it was custom made for Minox IIIs.

Giotto Q-pod( a pocket tripod ) came with a small leather case, it fits

my Minox C nicely.

I got my Minox GT used, without case. I found a small soft leather zipper

case at leather goods store, it fits the camera nicely.

Today I have found a belt mounted case to carry my Minox B & it's

flash attachment. I purchased it at a police equipment & uniform store

in Albany N.Y. Rosen's Uniform Ph# 518-434-1376

Item purchased - Mfg Bianchi Accumold - This is a double magazine

pouch for a Glock pistol - Nylon w/velcro closures, not pretty but

secure & out of the way. Model of pouch #7302H - Cost in the $25.00

range. This pistol is popular w/law enforcement in most areas so it

should not be difficult to find in your locale. Good Luck

<P>I found a nicely made brown color genuine leather pen case, it is an

imitation of Mont Blanc 30302 Meisterstuck 2- pen soft leather case , but without the center partition,

so my Minox C can fit in nicely. This leather pen case was made in

India. It has a smooth silk lining inside.

The nylon webbing belt pouch for the Victorinox SwissTool fits a Minox

C perfectly and has a Velcro fastening. In the UK it's available from

Burton McCall. Check out the Victorinox web site for details. There is

a leather version, but this has a metal press stud fastening.

I have a "Leatherman Tool" known as the WAVE. This comes complete

with a goodlooking, durable brown leather case which I have heard can

be ordered separately, though I haven4t tried. This case, I believe,

could be well worth checking out at the local outdoor equipment

centre for anyone needing a case for the mini-minox. The other tool

models are of differing sizes, generally smaller and also come

complete with cases. These may also be of use.

For minoxers in the UK, 'lifeventure' produce a case for small mobile

telephones, this will fit on a belt, or rucksack strap, has a fixed

loop, plus velcro straps, good value for GBP 7.00 and is available

from outdoors shops, I purchased mine from 'Rohan'.

As the Minox C, fits this case so should most other minox models.
