Hi B.D.,
Quite correct as it's only there during shipping and becomes nothing more
than a pain in the ass when you start using the camera as it's forever
coming loose at the edges. Eventually any number of  Leica m6 users finally
throw them away.

Others like myself pull it off as a part of the wrapping and chuck it
immediately.

However, Mark asked an honest question of wondering where he could buy the
plastic and some of us ragged him over it unfairly, but I don't have any
idea as I assume it comes from Germany when the camera is built.

Bottomline? Your absolutely right.... throw it away as soon as you start
shooting and using! ;-)
