Leica M240 · Slim Skin Case
Couldn't load pickup availability
A flexible, super-light protective skin for the Leica M (Typ 240) family: M240, M-P (Typ 240), M-E (Typ 240), M Monochrom (Typ 246), M262 and M-D (Typ 262). 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 M240's curves. Stays put, doesn't shift, doesn't sag. Helps reduce the bulk you get from a traditional case on this thicker digital M.
- Leica-style leatherette texture: matches the M240's leatherette finish. Better grip and the case looks like it belongs there.
Pick your variant
Camera Model
- M240: for the M (Typ 240), M-P (Typ 240), M-E (Typ 240) and M Monochrom (Typ 246).
- M262: for the M (Typ 262). Made for this body specifically, with no openings for the front button or frame selector lever it doesn't have, for a cleaner finish.
- M-D (Typ 262): for the screenless M-D (Typ 262).
Grip or No-Grip
- Grip: adds a subtle finger ridge for one-handed shooting and heavier lenses. Particularly useful given the M240's heavier body.
- No Grip: keeps the M240's classic profile. No bumps.
Standard or Tripod mount
- Standard: custom quick-release bung. Snap it on, snap it off. Sits flat. Best if you rarely tripod.
- 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 two screws. The 8mm screw comes pre-fitted and has a built-in thumb grip, so you can tighten it by hand with no tools. The spare 10mm screw lets you sandwich-mount a tripod plate between the case and camera, and needs a flat-head screwdriver to tighten.
Material
High-quality matte TPU with a leatherette-style texture. Holds its shape, flexes for fitting, resists UV and most chemicals.

M240 version:

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.

I like Akara Labs slim skin cases. I have three. They are not ostentatious. They don't shout, "LOOK AT ME!!!" They protect your beloved cameras from bumps and bruises yet they are nearly invisible. Good work, Akara! Now, if I can convince you to make one for my M8. . .
Hi Ron, thank you very much for your review and orders - it means a lot!
You're in luck with the M8 case, we do it in the standard Grip and No Grip along with the tripod option too.
Great quality, fit is perfect. Good engineered product !
Ottima protezione
Purchased because i wanted to try a grip on my m246. It really feels quite sturdy and texture is nice. Note to use it along with a strap as it isnt fixed in place but does sit nice and snug. Easy to remove to get to battery and sd card.
Exactly what I expected and needed
