Miniot-case-for-LeicaT
A wooden protector for your Leica T

We’re excited to announce our new Miniot case for Leica T, carved out of a single block of the finest wood.

Tightly modeled around its contours, the Miniot case adds a natural feel and a grand style to your Leica T!

The Leica T and the Miniot case: A unique match.
