Panasonic DMW-MCTZ5 Marine Case

[jpassov]

I have a Panasonic TZ5 Lumix camera that I have been trying to find the case for.
For some reason these are really hard to come by. They pop up on Amazon but I have tried to order twice and every time I do, I get a reply about a week later saying these are out of stock.

Some placed are selling them for higher than the SRP.

The ones I tried to order were listed at about $170. Does anyone have any info about these?

Is Panasonic discontinuing them? Or will resellers eventually get more stock of these?
I was hoping to get one before my trip in July so i can have a chance to get used to it.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks, but just like all the other sites......

Availability: Temporarily Out of Stock

didn't notice that while checking it, but at least 'temporarily' is a good sign you can ask them when they expect it back in stock.
On the other hand, checking on the Panasonic website, the model is not available for online purchase, may be discontinued...
good luck with your search.
