Nomad has launched brand new iPhone 14 cases that those looking for protection will fall in love but without affecting the size of the device. We tested the new Nomad Super Slim Case and we share our impressions with you.
With the new generation of iPhone, Nomad wanted to launch a new category of cases never before offered. The new Super Slim cases are the thinnest cases of the brand, so they will affect the size of our iPhone to a minimum and They will protect it from scratches and other small common aggressions with the daily use of our phones. Designed specifically for the latest iPhone 14 and with only two possible colors, one dark gray called “carbide” and the other translucent white called “frost”, they feature the quality of finishes and materials characteristic of Nomad, and other features of their ultra slim pattern
As a user of Nomad covers for years, one of the things I like the most about the brand, in addition to the quality of its products, is that they always offer high protection with a design elegant but clear, paying the price to hide the beautiful design of our iPhone. Its leather and sportiest cases still have a thick frame that absorbs drops, which more than once saved my iPhone from major damage. These covers are something completely new for Nomad, who are looking for something different: that the user does not realize that he is wearing a cover
Made with 50% recycled materials, these cases are like a second skin for your iPhone by adding thickness so minimal it’s almost negligible. they’re so thin they don’t even have buttons, because three perfectly calculated holes expose both home and volume buttons it’s up to you to press. One of the most important things when analyzing a case is how the buttons are pressed, because here there is not much to say, since you press the button directly on your iPhone. You also have direct access to the mute switch.
The The thickest area of the case is around the camera module of the iPhone, so you can place it on any surface without scratching the crystals of the three lenses. It also protrudes slightly above the screen, allowing you to place the iPhone face down without damaging the front glass. Of course, it also has holes for the phone’s microphone, speaker, and Lightning connector. Getting all those cutouts into such a slim case must have been no easy task. It also couldn’t have been easy to get you to put the lid back on and off without fear of breaking it, but they pulled it off.
The two covers are semi-transparent, but it is the white (Frost) which is the only one of the two which lets you guess your iPhone design through it. The Apple logo on the back is easy to see and your iPhone’s color can be seen through. The black hood (Carbide) is more discreet, and looks more like a classic hood because it hardly lets anything see through.
What I really liked was the grip feel of the case, much better than with the completely “naked” iPhone, which is quite slippery, or with transparent cases, which also have this sensation. The two Super Slim covers have a grainy feel that offers a very good grip. What I liked least is that you won’t be able to use the MagSafe system because they don’t incorporate magnets, of course. Being so thin, you’ll still feel the magnetic force when placing the MagSafe charger, and the iPhone will line up perfectly, but forget about using MagSafe mounts or accessories like a card holder or power bank, because it won’t have enough strength for that.
The protection offered by Super Slim cases is not high. They will prevent any scratches to your iPhone, they will protect the screen when you flip it face down, but a drop from a considerable height is not within their capabilities. There will be many people who will think that is enough to reject him, but there are a lot of people looking for exactly what the Nomad offers: some protection without sacrificing thickness. Perhaps many users who like to carry their iPhone without a case consider these new Slim cases to be the perfect case for them.
Editor’s review
Nomad is taking a risk with two completely different covers than what it has offered us so far. The new Super Slim cases are the perfect cases for those who want to protect the iPhone without adding weight or thickness. Where Nomad hasn’t changed is in offering a superior quality of materials and finishes, despite the limitations imposed by such a thin product. If these are the covers you were looking for, You have them at Macnificos for $ 19.99 in both colors:
