Leica M8/M9 · Slim Skin Case

A flexible, super-light protective skin for the first-generation digital Leicas, including M8, M8.2, M9, M9-P, M Monochrom (CCD), and M-E (Typ 220). Adds grip and protection while preserving the camera's classic profile.

Why it works

• Pop-off access: the bottom of the case releases and pivots to the side, staying tethered to your strap lug. You can then remove the camera baseplate as normal to access battery and SD card.
• Sits flat (Standard version): no protruding screws underneath, camera sits stable on any surface.
• Shape-holding fit: moulded to the M8/M9's curves. Stays put, doesn't shift, doesn't sag.
• Baseplate protection: the case wraps the original baseplate, shielding it from scratches and edge wear.
• Leica-style leatherette texture: better grip and the case looks like it belongs there.

Pick your variant

Grip or No-Grip

• Grip: adds a subtle finger ridge for one-handed shooting and heavier lenses. Useful given the M8/M9's slightly thicker body.
• No Grip: keeps the camera'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 8mm and 10mm screws. Use the 10mm to sandwich-mount a tripod plate between the case and camera.

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.
