New base plate for M10-R which allows direct access to battery / SD card?

Hello together

As an owner of an M10-R, I wonder if there is may be a conversion kit, from Leica, to facilitate access to the battery/battery and SD card.

This would certainly be a "good move" to have a simplification in handling.
Is there perhaps something known?
best thanks for possible hints

Google has a super quick answer, much less than it took to type the post.
To answer shortly: No solution from Leica (only such camera, the M11), but as always great aftermarket solutions are here:

You can search the forum and get some intel as well.

I had this since the early day of m10, if nothing has been re-modified, bit sluggish, and the spring closure would leave dent marks at the bottom

well since it is practically useful, i kept using it for 3 years before i finally realised i either i prefer a more solid feel of rrs or just the default baseplate

both solution without direct access to battery and sdcard

 

but lately there are a couple baseplate with a grip which accommodates such access only i realize i dont like the heft and thickness

Oberwerth has a half case with access.  Leica rumors has a promotion for these cases.

I bought a half case which replaces the bottom plate of my M10-R in Black. It is very nicely made, very happy with it.

I've used one of these (or very similar case) for years. No problems, nice and convenient. I actually like Leica's removable base design, but if you use a half case for protection a bottom flap (magnetic closure) makes sense.
