MEB Posted April 11, 2023 Share #1 Posted April 11, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does anyone who uses a half case for their M11 use a back cover with the case? Several of the major companies that make cases (Arte di Mano, Oberwerth and Luigi) also make companion back covers. I have always used half cases on my M cameras but never the back cover. There is one made for my case but I'm wondering if it is worth it...or is it more trouble than it is worth? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Barnack Posted April 12, 2023 Share #2 Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) @MEB Pop the cover in place when carrying your M11 for protection of the rear screen and buttons, pop it off and stick it in your pocket when you are ready to shoot. I can't see how that would be much trouble at all. I have thought that the back covers that are permanently sewn in place at the base and have a snap at the top would be annoying, though. If you undo the top snap, the cover flap would be hanging down over your mouth as you are trying to shoot. That would be annoying.

MEB Posted April 12, 2023 Author Share #3 Posted April 12, 2023 Herr Barnack-Thanks. My in-artfully drafted question was really do those who have half case backs find them to be superfluous and ultimately stop using them or are they glad that they have one.

chris7273 Posted April 13, 2023 Share #4 Posted April 13, 2023 I have the oberwerth with the back cover. The magnets are not that strong and I am sure that I will lose it sooner or later when I carry the M11 on a neck strap. So : I have now put a screen protection and the cover stays in the drawer… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEL Posted April 22, 2023 Share #5 Posted April 22, 2023 I also have the Oberwerth M11 case with magnetic back cover - and like it a lot. Camera is protected in the bag (with stuff flying around), protected when wearing on strap against metal zippers and buttons. Easily removed when no protection is needed and/or in shooting mode.

M11 for me Posted April 22, 2023 Share #6 Posted April 22, 2023 On my Q2 I have a Luigi Case with a back that you can let hang down. But I hate it as it is always in my way. On the M11 I bought the Leica case. Thus one has no rear "for" and I love it. But sometimes I think that I shouldn't have bought any case . . .
