Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, align the base screw of the protector with the tripod socket on the bottom of the Leica Q3 and tighten until secure. The case is exclusively compatible with the Leica Q3 model. To maintain the leather's longevity, keep the case dry and away from prolonged direct sunlight. If the leather becomes damp, wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth and allow it to air dry naturally. For routine cleaning, a high-quality leather conditioner may be applied sparingly to keep the cognac finish supple.
