What is it?
A barely-there protective skin for the Fujifilm X100VI. It maintains the pocketability of the X100 series while adding much-needed grip and base protection.
Ideal for everyday carry:
The X100VI is meant to be with you everywhere. This case ensures the base and corners stay pristine, no matter where you set it down.
Key Features
- Smart "Pop-Off" Access: No need to take the case off completely! Just pop the bottom mount loose and swing the case to the side for instant battery and card access. The case remains attached to the strap lug so you can't lose it.
- Integrated Thumb Grip: (Grip Version) includes a built-in thumb grip to dramatically improve handling and one-handed stability.
- Sits Perfectly Flat: (Standard Version) No mounting screw means no wobble on table tops.
Choose Your Style
- Grip Version: Adds a front grip and rear thumb grip for a locked-in feel, perfect for street photography.
- No-Grip Version: Keeps the front smooth and pocket-friendly.
Mounting Options
-
Standard (Quick-Release) Mount:
Perfect for street and travel photography where speed matters. Our custom quick-release "bung" insert allows you to attach and detach the case in seconds. The camera sits perfectly flat on surfaces, and you get instant access to the battery and SD card when you need it. Best for photographers who prioritize convenience and minimal bulk. -
Tripod Edition (Screw-In) Mount:
For maximum security and versatility. This version uses a traditional tripod screw attachment, making it compatible with many tripod plates, Peak Design capture system, and other mounting systems. Two screw sizes included:- 8mm screw: For direct mounting to the case. Clean, minimal, and secure.
- 10mm screw: For "sandwich mounting" with Peak Design plates or tripod mounts between the case and camera. Adds 2mm of clearance for thicker mounting plates.

Expensive for what it is especially after shipping and import fees. The X100VI version with the grip has a very sharp edge on the thumb grip side that is uncomfortable. I tried to smooth the edge off with my Dremel tool but did not really improve the feel.
It appears to be 3D printed and it’ll it’s the case it will shed microplastics while holding.
In the end I’m not using it, or the non grip version.
I had already purchased the X-E5 skin and loved it. Since I had an X100VI, it seemed sensible to also get one for that camera. So, I did.
The improvements over the bare camera are immense. It provides protection; the grip, especially the thumb grip, make it really easy to hold; it's really light - adds nothing to the weight (unlike the Smallrig one) and it takes about 2 seconds to whip it off to get to the battery compartment.
It's well worth it.

Hi James, we're very sorry to hear your feedback. We haven't heard from you previously so would love to learn more about your experience. We can then take steps to either recify any specific issue you have encountered or if there's a fundamental problem with the case, improve it accordingly.
I was a bit skeptical at first regarding the removal of the case to access the SD card and battery. I reached out to Henley and I’m really happy with the case and it’s just great value and has been a joy to use. (X100 vI) case
