What’s an iPod gramps? 😀

Younger readers who can't remember the iPod might want to imagine customising their vinyl record bags instead.

That’s a cool camera. 
 

Here in NZ we have neither a Leica Store nor an Apple Store so I guess we’ll never see such a thing!

Pssst.
Kevlar® is the trademarked brand name for the fiber made by DuPont. It is prohibited to call it Kevlar now. Lots written on the forum. Wertzlar now cautiously calls it "Aramid". No joke.

As the owner of last M10-P Reporter made in the entire Universe and Beverly Hills I feel kinda sorry for anyone getting these M11-Ps. Not only will they possibly have freezes and corrupt DNGs (hoping for the best, fingers crossed), the camera's aramid skin will start to fray after a year or so, just like on the reporters.

Hi. As an owner of the M10-P Reporter - i have had issues with the "SD error" appearing. So waiting to take it to leica to get a logicboard replacement or whatever needs replacing/

Are there any tips on how to maintain the Aramid coating?  Cleaning it? I see some have replaced it with a conventional leather skin at Leica.

According to Leica, it's designed to fray somewhat and provide better grip. It's not a material made to look good. I used to clean mine with a damp microfiber cloth gently dabbing at aramid fiber. The fiber is supposed to fade to a green color over time, but what you see first is a grey tint due to the fiber's texture collecting dead skin cells and dirt.
