Astell&Kern Case for PD20 black

Protecting a PD20 without concealing its controls or weighing down its lines calls for an accessory tailored with precision. This leather case meets that need thanks to a close-fitting cut and a selection of leathers from established European tanneries. Two versions are available, one in Alran goat leather tanned in France, the other in German Noblessa calf leather. An integrated rear stand adds a practical function to an accessory that develops a patina over time.

Two leathers, two European tanneries

The Bordeaux version is covered in Alran goat leather, tanned in France by a house founded in 1903 and based in the Tarn region, which counts major luxury houses among its clients. The vegetable tanning used on this leather gives it good resistance to scratches and moisture, while preserving its refined texture over time. The black version uses Noblessa calf leather, produced in Germany by the Perlinger tannery. The two options differ in the hand and grain of the leather, with a consistent finish from one version to the next.

A close fit for the PD20

The case pattern was designed to the exact dimensions of the PD20. The fit follows the contours of the device without any play, with stable support during one-handed use. The openings preserve access to the physical controls and ports, with no edge to work around. The covering focuses on the areas where the risk of impact or scratching is highest. The PD20’s original silhouette is not altered, and the case does not add any noticeable bulk.

A rear stand for hands-free listening

A rear kickstand is integrated into the case so the PD20 can be placed at an angle on a flat surface. The stabilized position frees the hands while listening at a desk or watching a video. Once the case is in place, this kickstand remains discreet, with no protruding element that would interfere with everyday handling or add bulk in a pocket.

A patina that develops over time

The vegetable tanning of the Alran leather evolves with use. The surface takes on subtle variations and gains depth, marked by the small incidents of daily life. Over the months, the case acquires a character unique to its user. With regular use, it protects the PD20 from scuffs and light scratches that occur during transport or everyday handling.
