Just wanted to do a quick post about a very cool Iphone 4 case I just bought from Amazon. It is an Iphone 4 Leica M Bamboo Case that has a carved back that says “M1” and it shows a 50 2.8 Elmar lens attached. Very retro, very cool. I ordered TWO of them and they arrived in a day as these are sold and fulfilled by Amazon directly. When I bought mine 2 days ago they were $30, today they seemed to have jumped up to $42 but they have 7 in stock for immediate delivery if anyone fancies a cool rangefinder style wooden case for their Iphone 4.

Steve, I’m surprised you referred to it as having a rangefinder window, which the M1 doesn’t have. The window is in fact the illumination window for the bright lines in the viewfinder.
It does have a window (on the case) and the case has the lettering “M1”. That is all I was saying. This case is not meant to be a Leica M1 replica, just a knock off case. I was stating what the case had on it.
Too funny. Better in low light too. Hahahahaa!
I ALMOST bought one of these last week. I had in my cart, and backed out at the last minute. I’m too in love with my ultra thin iPhone 4 case.
Horrible white balance in the video. haha.
Steve…there have been some rumblings on the site that you are Leica biased….
hmmmmmmmmmmmm…… LOL.
Lol…well, loads of Leica users read this site, and I have yet to see a Nikon D700 Iphone case 🙂 Thought it would be of interest.
Good point!!!! LOL!!! I love this site…..I laugh…I cry…its all good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Edit: Which, granted, don’t come engraved as Leicas!
🙂 Neat, although perhaps not as finely machined as the classy Miniot cases:

Those are beautiful cases, and yes, I am sure made better than this one. Thx for the link.
