Leica has spent more than a century defining how photographs are made. From iconic rangefinder cameras to world-class lenses, the brand has always focused on precision, restraint and purpose. Now, Leica is doing something quietly unexpected: it has produced an iPhone case.
The Leica LUX Case for iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max is not a lifestyle add-on, nor a logo exercise. It is a considered extension of Leica’s long-standing approach to photographic tools — one that recognises the smartphone as an essential part of modern image-making.
Stylish Accessory
Crafted from premium black leather, the LUX Case reflects Leica’s commitment to material integrity and timeless design. Precisely machined black aluminium buttons offer a refined tactile experience, echoing the mechanical clarity found in Leica cameras. Inside, a soft microfibre lining made with recycled materials provides secure cushioning for the device, balancing protection with elegance.
What sets the Leica LUX Case apart is its integration into the wider Leica Mobile ecosystem. Built-in MagSafe technology allows for fast, stable attachment of the Leica LUX Grip, transforming the iPhone into a more deliberate photographic instrument. Paired with the Leica LUX App, the system supports intuitive control, improved ergonomics and a seamless transition from everyday snapshots to intentional photography.
Embracing Mobile Photography
Leica’s move into mobile imaging is a natural evolution rather than a reinvention. Just as the company once redefined portability with compact 35mm cameras, it now embraces the smartphone as a serious creative platform. The LUX Case embodies this mindset — focusing on essentials, removing distraction and enhancing the user’s connection to the act of photographing.
This is an iPhone case shaped by a camera maker’s thinking. Every detail serves a function; every material choice reflects purpose. For both photographers and design-led users, the Leica LUX Case offers a new way to carry not just a phone, but a philosophy.
The Leica LUX Case for iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max is available from select Leica Stores, the Leica Online Store and authorised retailers.
