The Leica OEM metal hot shoe cover for the M10 is $30. And it fits perfectly, looks perfect on the camera.
The Match Technical one - which "fits most" - is $35.

This one is $128

Hot shoe cover

But this waaaay cooler one is only $8

Taxi!

Nicer ones from Artisan Obscura made of wood went price-wise through the roof in recent years. I remember that I bought my first wood-made cover for about $15 more than 6 years ago. Now they cost between $35-50 for the same. Higher demand!

The QZ design in ways is really smart/simple/clever

If all three dials (two on the top and the aperture ring) are on A - full program mode.
If the focus dial is on anything but A - manual focus. If at the same time the other two dials are on A - Program mode w manual focus. FYI the manual focus mode still uses the focus confirmation dot in the VF to show focus, so you can use that to focus and recompose..

If the Aperture dial is on A, but the shutter speed dial is on a speed - shutter priority. Full speeds 16sec - 1/8000!
If the Shutter dial is on A, but aperture dial is on an aperture - aperture priority.
If both Shutter and Aperture dials are NOT on A - manual mode. And in the VF it shows exposure readout.

Downsides are everything else is in the menus and the font is tiny on the top screen! And of course the weird proprietary flash.
