  Very nice @Overgaard!  I really should have picked one up when I was there that opening weekend. Here is a shot of the silver version as well if anyone is/was interested.

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.

Yes, the story was a durable but fadable skin (Aramid frays a lot in some cases) and durable reporter green paint (which brasses faster than any black paint MP/M10-R, I own both to compare). If your skin seems too frayed you can contact Leica for warranty replacement.
