Self-adhesive vinyl protectors that shield the base of your camera from scratches and abrasion. Designed to fit specific cameras precisely, with cutouts in the right places.
Some cameras have a battery that forms part of the camera base (e.g. M11, Q2, SL2). If you carry spare batteries and want each one protected to match, the Battery Only variant is the same vinyl sized to cover just the battery base.
Fully compatible with our Slim Skin Cases and other Akara Labs cases.
The vinyl is forgiving on first application. You can lift and re-position it several times to get the fit right - it's not a phone screen protector, you have more than one shot at it.
To remove, lift an edge with a fingernail and slowly pull up. After being on the camera for some time the protector usually won't be reusable, so plan to discard and replace.
Origin: Designed and made in the UK.

I ordered the clear variant but it's opaque and looks awful on the base of a black Leica.
Twelve pounds plus five pounds postage for a little bit of clear sticky back plastic!
If you want to protect the back of your Leica this is the right product: very similar appearance to vulcanite, excellent cut and design, perfect adhesive
Simple piecevof sticky-backed transparent film but it does the job, protecting against scratches. It isn't perfect, a tad thicker would be better but one can always applt two or even three pieces for added protection.
Cacho plastico caro que queda bien
I am half way through a holiday in Europe and this case has made the x100vi very comfortable to use. It adds nearly zero bulk while the grip is large enough to improve handling. I previously used the Smallrig grip which makes the camera too bulky. Although the case covers the battery access, I found it easy enough to slip on and off.
Great quality, fit is perfect. Good engineered product !
Nice to have it on hand, give the old lens new ID for Leica digital camera. Easy to use, faster and safe to do it. Instead of remove the lens mount and engraved the color code, paint it is another choice for the lens owner.
I searched for a grip for my Leica because my grip did not feel secure. After trying the $450 leather version I found the Akara version. It is perfect! It does not shriek Leica and invite camera snatchers, it fits my hand perfectly, including rounded edges, and it pops off to remove the SD card and change the battery.

The case looks great — I really like it.
A very well-thougt designed and well built tool that many have waiting for. For me it is a great help.
Works well and much quicker than sending to Leica
Ottima protezione
The rings hide the silver nose of many lenses. Not only is it a much prettier look but also cuts down on reflections you might see of the lens while shooting in glass. A tiny bit of silver remains visible so I add a UV filter with a black ring and voila! everything is now black.
The tool is easy to handle and the codes work.
Delivery and all OK.
It's a simple and effective way to give your lens a 6-bit-code. My Leica M EV1 recognised the code without any problems. The setup was a piece of cake. I would definitely recommend this product to any Leica photographer using third-party lenses.
Fits like a Glove 👍🏻
Easy and worked well for my two Thypoch lens
The handle is great; it gives the Q3 a comfortable grip. It also provides excellent protection for the camera's base. As for Akara, their service is fantastic. I had a small issue with the delivery, but Henley took care of it. They're very professional, and I highly recommend Akara's products and services!
