Here’s the link to the Amazon place to get that half case. it comes in various colors. I ordered one about a week ago, price appears to have gone up $10:on them since I ordered mine.
I tried twice (on Amazon) to order one of these, and both had to be refunded because the item didn't make it out of China. Just a heads up.
Joseph, this is very interesting. I had ordered this item in black on Friday, and according to Amazon it was in stock and I have notice that the shipment will arrive from Amazon tomorrow. However, in looking at the links and what I am seeing going directly to the listing from logging in to my account, there are some interesting changes since I ordered. I am very curious as to what will transpire. Will let you all know if it actually shows up or I get the "we cannot deliver this" notice.

As it happens, my original order did show up today, even though the last tracking update had indicated it had been shipped back to the seller. That update was Jan. 10.
If you end up needing one, I now have a dark brown leather grip that I don't need. :-P
Joseph, thank you for your response. Mine showed up yesterday also, so my 2 day delivery via Amazon was valid. I got the black case and am actually quite pleased with the quality of the product and the attention to detail of the presentation and packaging. The black actually matches the camera quite well, fit is good and the workmanship is well above my expectations. I like how it feels in hand. The texture and size of the grip feels just a hair larger than the SmallRig though they appear about the same at a glance, so I think it is likely the difference is in the feel of the materials used.
My reason for adding this half case was to carry the rig without an arca plate to blend in when doing everyday street images and avoid notice. The black works well for this along with a simple black sling strap and small lens.
I really am not sure what to think of the actual Amazon listing. When I pulled it up, via the link listed here on this thread, the item was shown to be shipped by Amazon. The brown was not available and after thinking about it, I decided that the black would be more appropriate for my intent anyway. I logged into my account and used up some left over gift cards and made the purchase which was to be delivered 1-22-24. This was confirmed in my Amazon confirmation email.
When I read your post, and based on past Amazon quirks, I logged back in to look at the listing and it clearly now showed Black as shipping from Iborry. I clicked on various colors, and now, some showed sent by Amazon, some by IBorry. My best wild guess is that some of these are or were in possession of Amazon, some not, and I apparently got the last Black one Amazon had. The tracking did show normal Amazon 2 day processing from the west coast and arrived here yesterday about 6pm CST.
Wish I could share facts rather than best guess speculation. I suggest you set your expectations based on what you do or don't see stated regarding shipping, but the product does seem quite nice if it meets your intended purposes.
