chris_tribble Posted August 2, 2022 Share #6 Posted August 2, 2022 A potentially interesting product if the original covering is damaged and you want to maintain functionality / resale value. Thanks for the information. Not sure if it's available in the UK. Cost in Taiwan is reasonable - around £50. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they are not of the lubricated variety, I don't see much of a reason for consternation...

I have the Nordic Ti skin on my M11. It's pretty good. The smaller pieces go on seamlessly. The bigger piece goes over the top plate, drapes on to the front of the camera by the viewfinder window, and goes down over the back over the camera near the viewfinder and clear across the back of the body. It's a very hard piece to get in place perfectly. All in all I'm quite satisfied as this offers some protection from scratches/dirt/oil and looks pretty solid. Every surface of the camera is covered with the skin, including the frameline selector, the lens release button, even the battery door switch. It's pretty reassuring to have all of them covered. I applied mine just after unboxing the camera. That was before I added a Thumbs Up and put the Peak Design attachments through the lugs, so the body should be pretty pristine once I remove the skin. I first tested the application and removal of the skin on the battery charger and the skin comes off with no adhesive left behind. The charger had no stickiness or any indication that anything had been attached to it. If mine eventually looks ratty from use I'd remove it and replace it with a fresh one with no hesitation whatsoever. In short, I'd highly recommend these skins for folks who don't want to put a bulky case on an M body but want protection from scratches/dirt/body oil. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
