A deep green with a pebbled grain, on a case cut for the M11 and M EV1
The Emerald Gloss FlexCase is Italian vegetable tanned leather in a deep green, wrapped around a precision machined base plate for the Leica M11 and M EV1. The plate is the engineering: a concealed Arca profile, an AirTag compartment, two quarter twenty threads and full access to the battery, the card and the USB-C port without lifting the camera out.
Choose the plate in aerospace grade aluminum, Black Chrome or Silver Chrome, or in solid brass, natural or black patina. Produced in very small batches, so a colour runs until the hide is gone.
⚠ WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov. Applies to the Solid Brass and Black Patina finishes.
Colour tone and texture may vary slightly from piece to piece, as the material is organic and no two hides finish exactly the same.

- Italian vegetable tanned leather. A deep green with a pebbled grain and a glossy finish, so the texture catches light instead of sitting flat.
- Edges finished three times. Painted, sanded and finished again across 72 hours.
- Lined and padded inside. The finish of the camera never touches bare material.
- Aluminum or brass underneath. Precision machined aerospace grade 6061-T6 aluminum in Black Chrome or Silver Chrome, or solid brass in a natural or black patina finish.
- Made in Miami. Cut, machined and finished in our own shop.
- The colourGreen that stays green under warm light rather than sliding toward grey, which is the usual failure of a dyed hide.
- A day of carrying it78 grams on the aluminum plate, 186 on brass, and the case is structured from the first hour and molds to the body with use. The edges are painted, sanded and finished three times across 72 hours, which is the part that survives a bag.
- On the tripod, then off againThe Arca profile is cut into the plate, 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 the 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 vegetable tanned leather permanently.
- Cleaning. A dry cloth for dust, a barely damp one for anything else, then let it dry flat.
- Conditioner. Sparingly, and never on the edges. A gloss finish needs far less than a matte one.
- The patina is the point. The leather darkens and marks with use. 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 bolted on and the compartment opens with the case fitted.
- Aluminum or brass?Aluminum keeps the camera light, 78 grams complete, and comes in Black Chrome or Silver Chrome. Brass is the heavier of the two at 186 grams and is offered solid or in a black patina, which ages rather than staying uniform.
- 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 with an aluminum plate, 186 grams with brass. 2.8 and 6.6 ounces, complete.
- Will my case look exactly like the photographs?Close, not identical. Vegetable tanned leather varies in grain and tone by nature, so colour shifts slightly from piece to piece.
- Does it work on a tripod without coming off?Yes. The Arca profile is cut into the plate itself.
- Does it fit the M11 D?No. The M11 D has its own FlexCase.
