Hot Lava, on the smallest case we make
The SlimCase is the FlexCase with everything unnecessary removed. No Arca profile, no AirTag compartment, just leather around the body and a precision machined plate underneath. This run is Hot Lava: a deep red hide with dark veining moving across the surface, over an aircraft grade aluminum plate in Black Chrome or Silver Chrome.
The plate carries a spare SD card, an anti skid pad and two quarter twenty threads, and it leaves the battery and the USB-C port open. The EDC Keychain Tool that opens the card door is in the box. Built for the Leica M11 and M EV1, in limited batches.
- The colourRed that reads as red from across the street and as depth up close. The dark veining is in the hide, not printed onto it, so the pattern never repeats.
- Traveling lightLess leather and no bracket. The camera keeps its shape in the bag without gaining the bulk of a full case.
- The card you forgotA spare SD card lives in the plate. The tool that opens the door is on your keys, not in a drawer at home.
- WearThe hide deepens where your hand sits and softens with it. A year in, no two of these look alike.
- Leica M11 and M EV1. The plate is machined to those bodies.
- The case stays on. Battery and USB-C are reachable with the camera still in the leather.
- The SD card too. The plate carries its own door, and the EDC tool that opens it is in the box.
- Two quarter twenty threads. Straight onto a tripod head, a plate or a strap anchor.
- No Arca profile, no AirTag compartment. Those live on the FlexCase. The SlimCase trades them for less material and less weight.
- Full grain leather in Hot Lava. A deep red with dark veining running through it, hand finished, so no two cases carry the same pattern.
- Structured, not stiff. It holds its shape from the first day and breaks in with use rather than going floppy.
- Lined and padded inside. The finish of the camera never touches bare material.
- Aircraft grade aluminum plate. Precision machined, in Black Chrome or Silver Chrome.
- Made in Miami. Cut, machined and finished in our own shop.
- Fits. Leica M11, Leica M EV1.
- Plate. Aircraft grade aluminum, Black Chrome or Silver Chrome, at the same price.
- Threads. Two quarter twenty.
- Card storage. A spare SD card sits in the plate itself.
- Base. Anti skid pad.
- Access. Battery and USB-C without removing the case.
- In the box. The EDC tool, designed by Gaston Shutters, for the SD door.
- Production. Limited batches. Excluded from sitewide promotions.
- Wipe it dry. A dry cloth for dust, a barely damp one for anything else.
- If it gets wet. Let it dry away from direct heat. A radiator will stiffen leather permanently.
- Conditioner. Sparingly, and colourless. A tinted product will move a red this saturated.
- The colour will change. Hot Lava deepens where your hand sits. That is the hide working, not the case wearing out.
- How is this different from the FlexCase?The SlimCase drops the Arca profile and the AirTag compartment. Less material, less weight, the same protection where the camera meets the leather.
- Do I have to take it off to change the battery or the card?No. The battery and USB-C are open, and the SD card sits behind a door in the plate that the included EDC tool opens.
- Black Chrome or Silver Chrome?Both, at the same price. Black Chrome disappears under the leather. Silver Chrome draws a bright line along the base against the red.
- Will mine look exactly like the photographs?Close, not identical. The veining is the hide's own, so no two cases carry the same pattern.
- Does it fit the M11 D?No. That body needs its own plate.
