Leica Camera AG continues to blur the line between classic photography and modern mobile imaging with the introduction of the Leica LUX Case for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Designed to work seamlessly with the Leica LUX Grip, this elegant leather case reflects Leica’s long-standing philosophy of simplicity, precision and timeless design.
As someone who appreciates both traditional craftsmanship and modern convenience, I see this as more than just another phone accessory. It is a lifestyle piece that signals a shift in how serious photographers are treating mobile photography.
A design that feels unmistakably Leica
The Leica LUX Case is crafted from premium black leather, giving it a refined and understated presence. It looks and feels like a natural extension of Leica’s camera heritage, rather than a typical smartphone case.
The precisely engineered black aluminium buttons add a tactile and premium touch, echoing the mechanical precision Leica users are familiar with.
Inside, the microfibre lining incorporates recycled materials while providing soft cushioning for the iPhone. This balance between sustainability and protection shows that Leica is not only focused on aesthetics but also on responsible design.
Built for photographers, not just phone users
What makes the LUX Case stand out is its deep integration with the Leica mobile ecosystem. The case features built-in MagSafe technology, enabling fast and secure attachment to the Leica LUX Grip. This transforms the iPhone into a more camera-like device, improving ergonomics and stability.
For anyone who has tried shooting long sessions on a phone, the difference in comfort and control is significant. It allows you to react faster, frame better and capture spontaneous moments with confidence.
This also aligns with Leica’s broader vision: helping users move from casual snapshots to more intentional image-making. When paired with the Leica LUX App and Grip, the case becomes part of a cohesive photographic workflow.
Everyday object, creative tool
The biggest appeal of the Leica LUX Case lies in its dual identity. It functions as a protective case for daily use, yet instantly becomes a creative tool when combined with Leica’s mobile accessories. This seamless transition reflects Leica’s focus on essentials – quality, ergonomics and inspiration.
For style-conscious creators and photography enthusiasts, this is a subtle but meaningful upgrade. It brings the emotional connection of Leica’s cameras into the mobile space without being loud or flashy.
Availability and price
The Leica LUX Case is now available at select Leica Stores, the Leica Online Store and authorised retailers. In Singapore, it is priced at S$150 including GST.
To add on, the Lecia LUX Grip is now also available at the Lecia Online Store and retails at S$450 incliding GST.
