onasj Posted April 15, 2022 Share #1 Posted April 15, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Received today, and it's outstanding as expected. In my opinion, better in every significant way than the Leica M11 protector case. Looks better, fits even better, doesn't add so much height to the camera, and restores the tripod mount to the bottom of the camera—thus addressing a major shortcoming of Leica's case. Another masterpiece from AdM. Perhaps the only advantage of the Leica M11 case is the extra thickness allowed Leica to install a SD card holder in the bottom door of the case. That said, there are many good places to store an extra SD card and I don't see this change as a significant downside. (I'm not affiliated with AdM in any way-- just a happy paying customer). 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianforber Posted April 16, 2022 Share #3 Posted April 16, 2022 I’m jealous. Ordered mine on 20 February and the website says it’s “Preparing for shipment”. I’m hoping for delivery next month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

weevi Posted April 27, 2022 Share #8 Posted April 27, 2022 Ordered mine late Feb, received last week. This is the second case I bought from them. Still regret not getting a matching strap though.

Viv Posted June 1, 2022 Share #11 Posted June 1, 2022 I don't use half cases. What's the point? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewK Posted June 2, 2022 Share #12 Posted June 2, 2022 Totally understand if one has no interest in a half-case or waiting months before product can arrive in their hands... that's fine with me. I'm only hoping to see more pictures of the beautiful half-case from the follow members who are lucky enough to have one in their hands... that's all 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob L Posted June 2, 2022 Share #15 Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) Cheap cases are fine as is no case, but Arte de Mano cases are truly exceptional in their fit and their quality. They are very thin and snug fitting, so they become "one with the camera" The others are loosey goosey and bulky. The picture above, of the back of camera in a brown case illustrates well. The leather is at most the same thickness as the viewing screen and totally form fitting. Edited June 2, 2022 by Rob L Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see all of your beautiful Arte di Mano cases pictures here.... Thanks I tried my AdM M10 cases on my M11 and they fit. No need to change batteries or SD cards on the fly so for once, only need to wait for the RRS L bracket for the M11. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianforber Posted June 2, 2022 Share #18 Posted June 2, 2022 After a few weeks use, I’ll (probably) keep the case on the M11. Doesn’t get in the way and affords a bit more grip but, most of all, I find I’m much less likely to jog the rear thumb wheel when wearing it cross body. Accidentally dialling in -3 stops was starting to irritate me. Welcome, dear visitor!

Unless things have changed since the M10/-R, I found Oberwerth's cases to be a really great fit on those cameras, and I imagine the fit of the M11 model would be similar.
