Leica M8/M9 · Slim Skin Case

What is it?

A protective skin for the first generation digital Leicas (M8, M9, M9-P, Monochrom). It helps protect the older, potentially more brittle coatings and baseplates of these classic digital bodies.

Ideal for the digital classic:

Preserve your M8 or M9 with a case that fits like a glove. The added grip is a welcome addition for these slightly thicker bodies.

Key Features

• Smart "Pop-Off" Access: You do NOT need to take the case off completely. Simply pop the bottom loose and pivot it to the side to remove the baseplate. The case remains attached to the strap lug, keeping it safe and handy.
• Sits Perfectly Flat: (Standard Version) Ensures stability on flat surfaces.
• Baseplate Protection: Protects the removable baseplate from scratches.

Choose Your Style

• Grip Version: Adds confidence when holding the camera with added front finger grip and rear thumb grip.
• No-Grip Version: Minimalist protection.

Mounting Options

• Standard (Quick-Release) Mount:
  Perfect for street and travel photography where speed matters. Our custom quick-release "bung" insert allows you to attach and detach the case in seconds. The camera sits perfectly flat on surfaces, and you have instant access to the battery and SD card when you need it. Best for photographers who prioritize convenience, speed and minimalism.
• Tripod Edition (Screw-In) Mount:
  For maximum security and versatility. This version uses a traditional tripod screw attachment, making it compatible with many tripod plates, Peak Design capture system, and other mounting systems. Two screw sizes included:
  • 8mm screw: For direct mounting to the case. Clean, minimal, and secure.
  • 10mm screw: For "sandwich mounting" with Peak Design plates or tripod mounts between the case and camera. Adds 2mm of clearance for thicker mounting plates.

Material

Made from a special high-quality, rubber-like matte material.

Please Note

• Safety: For maximum safety, always use a tether (neck or wrist strap). Do not rely solely on the case to secure your camera.
  
• Safety: When using the 'tripod' version always make sure there is enough thread to securely mount the camera body, do not use if less than 4mm thread enters the camera tripod mount. Tighten fully and check regulary to ensure attachment remains firm.
