Cobalt vintage patina, on a case cut for the M11 and M EV1
High quality Italian veg tan leather with a rustic, matte finish that develops a rich patina over time, wrapped around a base plate machined in Miami for the Leica M11 and M EV1. Structured enough to hold its shape from day one, and it molds to the camera over time. Black suede interior with black contrast stitching, and edges painted, sanded and finished three times across 72 hours.
A rich, vivid blue with real depth, at home on an M body, making a quiet statement without shouting. 72 hours. One case. Limited batch.
- Fits. Leica M11, Leica M EV1.
- Plate. Black Chrome or Silver Chrome, aerospace grade 6061-T6 aluminum, at the same price.

- 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. Excluded from sitewide promotions.
- Italian veg tan leather. A rustic matte finish that develops a rich patina over time. Structured from day one, it molds to the camera with use.
- Black contrast stitching. On a black suede interior.
- Edges finished three times. Painted, sanded and finished again across 72 hours.
- No two cases are identical. Vegetable tanned leather varies in grain, texture and tone by nature. That is not a disclaimer, that is the point.
- 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 colourA rich, vivid blue with real depth, at home on an M body, making a quiet statement without shouting.
- A day of carrying it78 grams under the camera, lined and padded, so the body never meets bare metal. Aluminum is the light one: the case adds protection without adding heft.
- On the tripod, then off againThe Arca profile is cut 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 Cobalt Patina with the plate finish you chose.
- EDC Keychain Tool. Opens the AirTag compartment in the plate.
- AirTag. Not included. What we machine is the compartment it drops into.
- Leica M11 and M EV1. Cut for those two bodies. 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 leather.
- 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.
- Let it dry on its own. If it gets wet, dry it away from direct heat. A radiator will stiffen leather permanently.
- Cleaning. A dry cloth for dust, a barely damp one for anything else, then let it dry flat.
- Conditioner. Sparingly, colourless, and never on the edges.
- The patina is the point. The leather darkens and marks where your hand sits. That is the material working, not the case wearing out.
- Do I have to take it off to change the battery or the card?No. The base plate stays on and the battery, the SD card and the USB-C port are all reachable with the case fitted.
- What is under the leather?Aerospace grade 6061-T6 aluminum in Black Chrome or Silver Chrome, 78 grams complete, at the same price.
- 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. 78 grams, 2.8 ounces, complete with the plate.
- Will my case look exactly like the photographs?Close, not identical. Colour tone and texture vary slightly from piece to piece, because the material is organic and no two hides finish the same.
- Does it work on a tripod without coming off?Yes. The Arca profile is cut into the plate itself.
