There are a few materials that resonate with luxury and comfort but the first one that
comes to mind is leather.
And when it comes to the iPhone, Nomad always delivers. And it's no different with the iPhone
13.
This is the Nomad Modern Leather case, and Folio with MagSafe.
And this product has a really cool little trick up its sleeve too. It comes with a Digital
Business Card. Really quite neat. More on that in a bit.
Starting with the folio case....
As you can see I' have been using this for a few days now and whilst I am trying other
cases, this one has been my favourite because I haven't really found a screen protector
that I like yet.
So this folio case has been perfect because it has that nice additional protection to
the screen here.
One criticism I had about this folio case last year was how it didn't stay closed. It
was really annoying, it stayed open like this most of the time.
This time, I don't know what Nomad did here but... it does stay nice and closed now which
is great.
One issue that you think you might have is the volume controls.
Sometimes you don't want to open the folio just to up or down the volume.
Well I was quite surprised at how easy it was to still do it by pressing on the sides
anyway. It's a little counter intuitive as you have no real tactile feedback but after
a few days it became second nature.
One thing that I wish would happen is the locking of the screen, but to be honest I
am not even sure if Apple cases do that these days. And if they do, is that something people
care about?
Let me know if that's a deal breaker for you.
Does it add bulk to an already chunky iPhone? Yeah it does, but I think it's a nice compromise.
To have something this smart looking... I feel it will go well with any of the iPhone
colors as well, and it's a bit like a statement sometimes. You know, It's leather, its really
good quality leather!
And with time, like any good quality leather, this will develop a lovely patina which will
look great.
It works really well with MagSafe accessories, so nothing to complain there.
And with the folio, you get a slight advantage that the folio doubles up as a kickstand almost,
when you are watching content.
Don't know if this was intentional, but it's very cool for watching content, or being on
a conference calls, facetiming people and stuff
Right, let me show you how that digital business card thing works.
It's very simple, you scan the QR code with your phone, install this app called Popl.
The registration process is a breeze. Once you are in the app, you can configure your
profile so you can add your Instagram, Twitter, Facebook (do people still use that?)
Anyway. Onlyfans as well, I think is pretty safe now isn't it?
Anyway...
Once you've got your profile setup, its just the case of tapping the bottom of your phone
with another phone to share your profile. Really cool, kind of a modern way of sharing
your business details or your profiles. If you're a photographer or a professional of
any sort you share all of those details just by tapping your phone! Really neat.
If you don't like the folio version, there's the more traditional case. Same beautiful
horween leather. Very nice and soft microfibre lining here, it's so velvety I feel like I
could sleep in it.
In both leather cases, the protection both at the front and back are excellent. There's
a decent camera bumper protection here as well so when you put this bad boy down on
any surface, you've got that lens protection there.
Nomad products are incredible, I've reviewed a few of their products and like many products
I review here I was a customer first before making videos about this stuff, so even though
Nomad sent me this for free, I feel quite comfortable talking about it as I've been
a customer for a long time.
But I have no obligation to provide a positive review. Or a review at all. But I am passionate
about this stuff! And this is something I would buy myself.
Talking of which, I am donating these two cases to a couple of you. They've been used
for a few days so they have some minor signs of usage but nothing too crazy, still very
much like new!
All you gotta do, is like this post from my Instagram and tag a friend over there.
Very simple!! Good luck and I will see you and your smiling faces on the next one!
