That is the only drawback to the JB Grip IMHO. As for the Gariz half case (for the E-P5) it has an annoying flaw in that the leather on the right side (facing the rear LCD) covers the computer and remote release connectors. Maybe JB will modify their grip and maybe Gariz will fix their mistake too, I hope.I really like the look of the JB wood grips. I considered one for my X100S but in the end went with a Gariz case instead. I think I would have gone the JB route if the bolt holding the grip bar would have been countersunk to be flush with the bottom of the grip plate.
