Leica M11 · Slim Skin Case
Couldn't load pickup availability
A flexible, super-light protective skin for the Leica M11 family, including M11, M11-P, M11-D, M11 Monochrom, and EV1. Adds grip and protection while preserving the camera's classic profile.
Why it works
- Pop-off access: the entire case instantly releases and pivots to the side (Standard version), staying tethered to your strap lug. Swap battery and SD card without fully removing the case.
- Sits flat (Standard version): no protruding screws underneath, camera sits stable on any surface.
- Shape-holding fit: moulded to the M11's curves. Stays put, doesn't shift, doesn't sag.
- Leica-style leatherette texture: matches the M11's pebble grain finish. Better grip and the case looks like it belongs there.
- USB-C port access: removable USB-C cover for instant access to the USB-C port for data, tethering and recharging. Additional spare port covers included.
Pick your variant
Grip or No-Grip
- Grip: adds a subtle finger ridge for one-handed shooting and heavier lenses.
- No Grip: keeps the M11's classic profile. No bumps.
Standard or Tripod mount
-
Standard: custom quick-release bung. Pop it on, pop it off. Sits flat. Best option to choose if you rarely use the tripod mount.
- sits flat on tables
- very minimalistic
- very fast access (under 1 second) to SD Card and Battery
- truly embodies the ethos of the Slim Skin cases
-
Tripod: traditional 1/4"-20 screw mount. Compatible with most tripod plates, quick-release systems, and clip mounts, including Peak Design Capture and Arca-Swiss style plates. Includes 8mm and 10mm screws. Use the 10mm to sandwich-mount a tripod plate between the case and camera. Slower access to Battery and SD card.
- extremely secure
- allows tripod plate use with case still attached to camera
- compatible with many strap systems that use the tripod mount
- slower access to battery and SD Card
Material
High-quality matte TPU with a leatherette-style texture. Holds its shape, flexes for fitting, resists UV and most chemicals.
Safety
- Always use a strap or tether. The case is not a primary security solution.
- Tripod version: ensure at least 4mm of screw thread is engaged in the camera tripod socket. Tighten fully and re-check periodically.

The Leica M11 case with grip fits nicely but there is no rear opening to access the battery, card, or usb port. Seems to defeat the whole purpose.
Hi Joel, thanks for the feedback.
The M11 case does give battery and card access, the case pops off and pivots to the side while staying tethered to your strap lug, so you don't need to remove the case fully to gain access. It can be done within a second after a few practice runs.
Place your finger between the bottom of the M11 screen and the case, pushing your finger towards the tripod bung and levering down lightly. The case will pop off allowing immediate access.
I purchased two cases: one for my M11-D and the other for my M11 Monochrom. I absolutely love them. So much so that I no longer use my Leica Protector on my M11-D. The cases are lightweight, easy to grip, and feel great in the hand. I have zero problems moving them to access the charging port or pop out the SD card.
As someone who designs and prints 3D solutions for myself, I can say that these cases impeccably designed and perfectly printed. Worth every penny!
Lightweight and very ergonomic to use. The material may be slightly less durable, though only time will tell. It was very easy to attach to my camera. I had considered more expensive third-party options, but I’m very glad I chose Akara Labs instead. In terms of weight, ergonomics, pricing, and the way it closely matches the camera body’s texture and look, it has been an excellent choice.
Thanks team
I have received the parcel and the quality of this new item is impeccable; it’s lovely. The team is very responsive and competent
The case looks great — I really like it.
