I felt it is far bulkier than need be and doesn't offer protection for much beyond light bumps or scrapes, and I found it clumsy to get a KX3 into it, even w/o heatsink, SideKX's or Lexan cover, because of the center opening zipper. Might have been easier with a Lexan cover installed, preventing it from trying to hang up on the zipper.

Maybe look at the web sites of some of the big national camera stores, like B & H Photo & Video, Ritz Camera (where I buy a lot of my photo gear), and so on.  Your bag is out there...
