I've been searching everywhere with no luck.
I'm looking for a vintage style leather case for my gh1, I'll mostly use my pancake lens so I'm looking for a 20mm lens fitting one (which seems impossible) or a half case.
There are many options for gf1 but non for gh1.

I could have sworn someone posted a link to one a while back...or maybe it was the one for the GF1. I think it would cool...although maybe a little harder to make work due to the LCD and buttons? With a case like that, I'd probably start carrying the GH1 around and actually taking pictures with it...instead of just using it for shooting wedding videos.

I'd LOVE one for my Lumix DMC-ZS3, that would also add attachments for a strap in the proper locations. Right now I have to dangle it from the single strap attachment, and it flops around everywhere (it's an expensive P&S to be banged around like that), or keep it in my bag where I can never get it out fast enough to get the shots I want. :( I'm going to try and make a strap adapter myself...but I know it will suck.
 
it should probably be a gf1 case, it is really weird since there are way too many options for gf1 (starting from 20 usd on ebay) and none for gh1. I even checked expensive hand sewn cases but I couldn't find any.
gh1 becomes compact a cam with the pancake so I don't want to carry a huge padded bag for it :(
good luck with the strap adapter too, it is really hard to customize that stuff :)

I love the leather case for my Olympus OMG, but only use it when I think I'll take a few "snapshots" since it only works with the 50mm lens without the auto-winder grip and changing film is a huge PITA. The majority of the case just kinda dangles below when you have to un-snap it to take a pic. But...it looks cool. :D It's totally a touristy kinda setup...not very practical.

Something for the GH1 would be cool...but again I'm not sure how it would work that well with all the moving LCD stuff and buttons, etc. Likewise, I don't know how well one would fit my Lumix ZS3, but if it had traditional strap lug locations, I'd love it!!











Damned wrist-strap type single lug!!!...

 
My mom's ZR1 has a nice little leather case that works pretty well and looks great, isn't a split case so it might not be quite what you're looking for for the ZS3 swyzlstyx, it came with the camera. I have an original half leather (well all leather, but it's a two piece case) for my Olympus Pen FT like you have for your Olympus, good stuff...too small for GH1 though.
