Questyle Pochette M18i black leather
Questyle M18i Case: leather cover for the M18i portable DAC
Questyle’s M18i DAC/amplifier features a tempered glass front panel that instantly shows fingerprints and dust at the slightest touch. Its anodized aluminum shell, while robust, doesn’t take kindly to repeated contact with keys or coins at the bottom of a pocket. This leather case addresses these everyday constraints while preserving the M18i’s minimal footprint (75 × 35 × 14.5 mm).
Leather that wraps without weighing it down
The genuine black leather exterior provides a more secure grip than bare glass or metal. The material closely hugs the contours of the unit without excessive play: the M18i is held firmly in place without needing to force it in or out. The leather absorbs minor everyday bumps and protects exposed surfaces from micro-scratches.
The finish is understated: no decorative topstitching and no visible logo apart from the product’s natural silhouette. The overall thickness remains modest and does not compromise the desired compactness of a portable DAC.
Cutouts that preserve ergonomics
The case features carefully positioned raised areas and openings. The three control buttons on the left side of the M18i (volume, gain, mode) remain perfectly accessible. The front OLED screen stays visible through a clear window, allowing you to read the volume level, audio format, or battery status without any extra handling.
The USB-C ports (the top one for mobile connection, the side one for PC mode with charging) and the 3.5 mm and 4.4 mm headphone outputs at the bottom are not obstructed. The M18i can therefore operate normally once placed in its case, whether it’s connected to a smartphone, a computer, or used over Bluetooth.
A belt clip for mobility
On the back of the case, a metal clip folds flat when not in use. When deployed, it fastens securely to a belt or the pocket of a bag. This attachment frees up your hands and prevents the DAC from swinging at the end of its cable while you’re on the move.
The system is suitable for daily commutes, outdoor listening sessions, or simply keeping the M18i within easy reach without filling your pockets. Handling remains quick: the clip detaches with a single motion when you want to pick up the device.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the case fit other Questyle models such as the M15i or CMA18?
No. The dimensions and button layout differ between these devices. Questyle offers specific cases for each model in its range, each with its own cutouts.
Does the leather require any special care?
Occasional wiping with a dry cloth is sufficient for routine cleaning. Leather creams or care products can be applied if the material seems to dry out after prolonged use.
Can the M18i be charged without removing the case?
Yes. Both USB-C ports remain accessible. PC mode (which charges the M18i while in use via the side port) works normally with the case in place.
Can the belt clip be removed?
The clip is integrated into the structure of the case and is not removable. Folded flat against the back of the case, it adds only a very slight extra thickness.
Is the case available in other colors?
Questyle currently offers this case only in black.
Does the front window protect the OLED screen?
The opening leaves the screen exposed to allow direct reading. Protection is mainly provided for the edges and back of the M18i, not for the front glass panel.
