We tested the new Nomad cases for all iPhone 14 models, the perfect combination of design, protection and elegance. Leather or plastic, sport or classic, the choice is yours.
Nomad has been making accessories for Apple products for a long time and if anything characterizes its products it is their quality and design, for a reason it is one of the reference brands in this category. Today we analyze its sports and leather cases for the iPhone 14, specifically the Pro Max model.
sports case
The Nomad sports cases are one of the newest products in their catalog, and this year, in addition to adapting them to the new iPhone 14, they have further refined them. Made of two materials, with a polycarbonate back in a glossy finish and available in various colors (black, grey, blue and green) and a TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) frame in black. With this combination we get protection against drops thanks to the shock absorption of the frame as well as the strength of the more rigid plastic backrest. We already know the glossy finish is tricky in terms of fingerprints, but it’s super easy to clean and makes it look spectacular.
Nomad has taken care of many details in this case, among which the buttons in anodized aluminum of different color depending on the color of the case stand out. The pressing of the buttons is very good, they have very good feedback and offer little resistance. The microfiber interior protects your iPhone, and the rubber frame around the hole for the camera module makes it well protected, and you can place your iPhone on any surface without worrying about scratching the lenses. the frame around the iPhone also protrudes slightly at the front, to protect your screen.
The case protection is 360º, including the Lightning port and the speaker and microphone on the bottom of the phone. With a thickness of 2mm, the bumper that surrounds the entire phone It can cushion falls up to almost two meters in height, much more than enough for a fall from a table, a chair or a pocket. The cover also has an excellent grip, but without getting “stuck” in the trouser pocket when trying to remove it. Of course, it is also compatible with the MagSafe system thanks to the neodymium magnets included in it, so we can use all MagSafe accessories perfectly.
Modern leather case
For those who like more classic designs, leather cases are always a safe bet. Nomad offers us different types of covers with this material, always made of the highest quality leather and treated minimally to preserve all its properties. On the one hand we have the Horween leather covers, a tradition of the brand, which they claim are specially designed for skin fans
The feel of the case is excellent and the grip is very good thanks to the fact that, like the previous model, it has a TPE frame to protect it. According to Nomad, it protects the iPhone against drops up to 3 meters, even more than the Sport model. In this case the buttons of the case are not metallic, but they keep the good touchThey offer no resistance when pressed and the feedback is very good. It also shares with the other model the protective frame for the camera module and the bumper lip to protect the screen, and we have added two hooks for the wrist straps (not included). Of course, the MagSafe holder is included.
If Horween leather with its natural wear is not what you are looking for, you can still enjoy the pleasant feeling of a leather case, because the normal leather model, which is also less expensive, evolves less over time. It is also available in several colors: black, dark brown, light brown and natural (the one that appears in the photos). The natural-colored sleeve is truly unlike any other leather sleeve you’ve ever tried, and Nomad wanted to enhance that uniqueness with a color-matched TPE frame.
Editor’s review
With various materials and colors, but with very similar and always elegant designs, Nomad cases are characterized by the perfect combination of a high level of protection for your iPhone with the use of top quality materials. Plastic or leather, sporty or classic, any of the cases are a great option for those who they want to be calm before any possible fall of their iPhone, but they do not want to give up a beautiful design. Nomad cases for all iPhone models are available from stores like Macnificos (link).
