Slim, flexible non-leather protective case for the Leica M8/M9 cameras. Super slim and as unobtrusive as possible for those that generally don't like using a case but appreciate the benefits of the additional protection they provide.
There's no mounting screw underneath so the camera sits flat on surfaces.
The Slim Skin case can be removed in seconds for access to the battery but remains securely attached to the camera when in use, using our own in-house developed tripod bung mount.
An alternative to bulky heavy leather cases, we made this to disappear, we're hoping you'll forget it's even there. It's also designed to fit the aesthetic of Leica and not detract from its legendary design.
Made from a special high quality rubber-like flexible matte material that holds its shape and protects against impacts while being UV and chemical resistant.
To remove the case, we suggest sliding and easing a thumb or finger between the camera and the case right next to the tripod mount from the rear. Carefully ease the case off by levering your finger to release the tripod bung. With some very minor practice you will be able to remove the case within a second.

This close-fitting case is a complete contrast from the usual bulky leather or ‘pleather’ cases that are most often seen. It adds almost nothing to the size of the camera while offering tough protection from scratches and scrapes. It is well made and in my opinion enhances the appearance of the camera. It is available with or without a hand grip. I chose the version with grip and found it effective and comfortable.
