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.

The case easily snaps on and off your Leica. High precision carving guarantee a perfect fit, and a fantastic grip.

Newly developed techniques make the Miniot case light, thin and very sturdy.

Multiple thin layers of varnish give the case a durable finish, shielding the wood and subtly enhancing its luster.
