Half cases represent the minimalist approach to camera protection, covering the bottom and grip of your camera body while leaving controls fully accessible. Oberwerth half cases are precision-crafted from premium leather to fit specific camera models, providing grip enhancement and scratch protection without adding bulk.
Unlike full cases that envelop your entire camera, half cases offer immediate shooting readiness. Your Leica M11, Fujifilm X100VI, Sony A7 series, or Hasselblad X2D remains fully operational with all dials, buttons, and screens accessible. The leather-wrapped grip improves handling and prevents the camera from sliding on smooth surfaces.
Each Oberwerth half case is designed with a built-in tripod plate access, allowing you to mount directly to your tripod or quick-release system without removing the case. The precisely cut battery door opening provides unobstructed access for battery changes during extended shoots.
We offer half cases in multiple leather finishes to match your style: the Classic Line features tumbled, vegetable-tanned leather that develops a distinguished patina, while the Hydro Line provides weather-resistant protection for outdoor photographers. Select models include integrated hand strap attachment points for added security.
For photographers who value the tactile experience of their camera body while desiring essential protection, an Oberwerth leather half case delivers refined protection with zero compromise on usability.
