Colour tone and texture may vary slightly from piece to piece, as the material is organic and no two hides finish exactly the same.

• Fits. Leica M11, Leica M EV1.
• Plate. Black Chrome. Aerospace grade 6061-T6 aluminum, anodized.
• Weight. 78 grams, 2.8 ounces. Complete, plate fitted.
• Size. 5 5/8 inches long, 1 1/2 inches wide, 2 3/4 inches high. 143 by 38 by 70 mm.
• Tripod. Concealed Arca profile, flush at the bottom. The camera goes on a tripod without the case coming off.
• Threads. Two, 1/4 inch by 20.
• Tracking. AirTag bay machined into the plate, with its own keychain tool to open it. The tag itself is not included.
• Base. Anti-skid treatment. You feel it the moment you set the camera on a flat surface.
• Access. Battery, SD card and USB-C, all reachable with the case on.
• Interior. Fully lined and padded. The finish of the camera never meets bare metal or bare leather.
• Production. Close to three days of machining and hand work go into each one, which is why only a handful leave the bench each month.

Grade 1/2, A/B. That is the supplier's own grading for a clean skin with a high usable yield. Every skin still carries its own natural marking, and the dye does not touch the scale relief, so every panel falls differently and no two cases leave the shop with the same pattern. If you want a finish with no variation, this is not the one.

• Base plate. Aerospace grade 6061-T6 aluminum, machined in our own shop and anodized in Black Chrome. The colour sits inside the anodized layer rather than on top of it, so it does not chip off an edge the way paint does.
• The skin. Indonesian water snake, Homalopsis buccata, wild sourced and chrome tanned. Dyed red, glossy finish, soft temper. Grade 1/2 (A/B). Country of origin: Indonesia.
• Lined and padded inside. The finish of the camera never touches bare material.
• Made in Miami. Cut, machined and finished in our own shop.

• The skin you getWater snake is not printed. The scales in these photographs belong to one hide and yours will belong to another.
• A day of carrying it78 grams, lined and padded, so the camera never meets bare metal. The skin is chrome tanned, so it takes damp better than a vegetable tanned hide.
• On the tripod, then off againThe Arca profile is machined into the plate and sits flush, so the camera drops onto a head and comes back off without the case ever leaving it.
• Knowing where it isTrack your camera with an AirTag, concealed inside the plate. Access it anytime with the included EDC Keychain Tool. AirTag not included.

• FlexCase. One, in red water snake, on a Black Chrome plate.
• Keychain tool. Opens the AirTag compartment.
• AirTag. Not included. What is machined into the plate is the bay it drops into, and the keychain tool that opens it.

• Leica M11 and M EV1. Cut for those two bodies. It does not fit the M10 or earlier M bodies unless that is confirmed separately. The M11 D has its own FlexCase, because the plate is machined to the body it sits under.
• The case stays on. Battery, SD card and USB-C are all reachable without taking the camera out of the skin.
• Straight onto a tripod. The Arca profile is concealed in the base plate, so the head takes the camera with the case still fitted.
• Two quarter twenty threads. For a plate, a grip, a cage or a strap anchor.

Wipe the scales with a dry cloth, following the direction they lie rather than against it. If the case takes on water, let it dry away from direct heat, because heat is what lifts and hardens a scale edge.

The skin is chrome tanned, so it tolerates damp better than a vegetable tanned hide and needs no conditioner on a schedule. Do not work oil or cream under the scales; oil is what turns a dyed skin patchy, and a glossy finish is meant to stay glossy.

The Black Chrome plate is anodized aluminum, and it is cleaned rather than polished. A dry microfibre lifts dust and fingerprints, and a barely damp cloth followed by a dry one takes off anything the dry cloth leaves. Brush or rinse grit off the base before you wipe it, because sand dragged across the plate is what actually scratches the finish.

Nothing abrasive on the aluminum: no metal polish, no scouring pad, no compound. The colour lives inside the anodized layer, so once you cut through it the plate does not come back. Keep solvents and household cleaners away from it too, since anything strongly alkaline will strip anodizing. Soap and water is the strongest thing it needs, and it wants drying afterwards so nothing sits in the AirTag bay.

• Will my case look like the photographs?. In finish and construction, yes. In pattern, no. Water snake is not printed, so the scales in these pictures belong to one hide and yours will belong to another.
• Is this real water snake or a printed pattern?. Real. Indonesian water snake, Homalopsis buccata, wild sourced, chrome tanned and dyed red. Like our other exotic leathers, it ships only to approved U.S. destinations.
• Does the case come off to charge or change cards?. No. Battery, SD card and USB-C stay reachable with the case on.
• How big is it, and what does it weigh?. 5 5/8 inches long, 1 1/2 inches wide, 2 3/4 inches high. 143 by 38 by 70 mm. It weighs 78 grams, 2.8 ounces, complete.
• Can I put it straight on a tripod?. Yes. The Arca profile is machined into the base and sits flush, so nothing needs removing first.
• Does an AirTag come with it?. No. What we machine is the bay in the plate and the keychain tool that opens it. The tag is not included.
• Will the Black Chrome plate age?. No. Anodized aluminum holds its colour and does not patina, so the plate looks the same in a year as it does out of the box.
