- Alright, so we have a fresh, new,
exciting product from NOMAD,
and this is one that
I did not see coming at all from them.
I know they make some dope accessories
but this one literally hit me out of left field
and I was like,
"Oh, okay, this is something different."
So, today we are taking a look
at the Rear Skin for the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
And not only is it a skin, but it's that leather skin
because you know NOMAD does make
some of the best leather accessories
out there on the market.
So, as you look in the packaging,
I don't see anything else in the packaging
but this little slip here,
so I'm assuming this is everything that we need
for the actual skin installation.
So, let's go ahead and take it out here
and nothing else comes in the packaging
except the skin, here it is.
This is gonna be the leather skin
for the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
So, let's go ahead and put this together
'cause I like to sit my iPhone down
on something face first,
so I don't really botch and mess my screen up
while I'm doing the installation.
So, let's go ahead and put that there
to get ready for the installation.
But as you can see here, this is 3M,
so it's gonna provide that adhesive
so you can put it on your actual back
of your 12 Pro Max.
So this is for someone who may not want a case on it,
who may want something very minimalistic.
The skin market is heavy,
people who just want some type of skin
to give them just a little bit of scratch protection,
bump protection, whatever it could be,
and go about your day.
This is very thin, very minimalistic,
and you just might want to add just a little touch
to your iPhone series.
So, let's go ahead and get into the installation
and hopefully I'm better installing these bad boys
because I'm gonna tell you what,
sometimes skins can get a little challenging.
So first things first,
they didn't include anything in the packaging
but for the back of it, it's not like a screen protector,
I'm just wiping it down just a little bit
to maybe, I can make it a tad bit easier.
So, here it is, let's go ahead and take this off.
Now what we wanna do is,
I didn't even look at the instructions,
but I do know from previous skins installation,
what you wanna do is put half of it
back on the actual packaging
that you just peeled it off from,
so you could work on it a little bit at a time.
So, let's go ahead and get up and get focused
and let's see if we can align this all correctly.
So, let me...
(jazzy music playing)
Alright, so after about five minutes
of reapplying, taking it off, reapplying,
taking it off, reapplying, taking it off,
we finally have it installed,
Rear Skin, leather skin, for the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
So, just take a look at this.
The thing about this is, it does feel really well.
It feels more durable than your standard skin
that you may get from anybody out there,
any of the skins companies out there.
This feels like, adds a little bit of thickness to it
and it just feels like - that feels good,
that feels really good,
I'm definitely gonna leave this on my 12 Pro Max.
This definitely does feel really, really good
on the 12 Pro Max.
The adhesive is good, like I said,
sit down and take your time,
and you will be able to get
a perfect installation of the skin.
As you can see, you still should be able to see the-
the frame, the stainless steel frame
going around the actual sides of 'em,
so that's a nice little touch there.
But very nice skin, very nice touch,
very nice, little niche product from NOMAD
when it comes to this.
This is very, very nice.
Now a lot of you may think you might wanna,
lets just say for giggles,
you might wanna put a case up there
and you won't be able to see it at all
with a case up there.
Now I'm pretty sure they're not recommending
you to put a case on this
because it might interfere with the actual skin
and snatch it off, but I just kind of put it up there
to see how it would perform
and it performed good,
it didn't really snatch it off.
But this is mainly for people
who wanna rock their iPhones naked with nothing on them,
you just want some type of small protection up there,
then definitely check out the skin from NOMAD.
Alright, now one thing that I'm pretty sure
you guys might wanna know is,
does it work with MagSafe?
Say you out there and you are a avid MagSafe user
and you need this to work with MagSafe,
does it work with MagSafe?
So, let's go ahead and drag our NOMAD MagSafe mount over
and let's pop it right down on MagSafe.
And it works just fine with MagSafe.
Now I would probably say,
I do feel like it takes away
a little bit of the strength of MagSafe,
I feel like it's not as strong with it up here.
So it's compatible but I do feel
like it takes a little bit away
of the actual strength of the magnet,
which anything that's gonna block
and get in between the magnet
is probably gonna do that exactly,
but I just gotta let it be known
that it does work with MagSafe just fine.
You can find the MagSafe spot just fine
but it does weaken it up just a little bit.
And last but not least,
how does this feel on the phone?
Now this does provide a nice level of grip.
Now, I actually was putting it on
then when I grabbed it I was like,
"Wait a second, this really does give a lot of grip,"
because I'm a person who does not use his phone
naked at all, I have to have a case on my phone,
that's just the way it is.
I don't do all these case reviews
on this channel for nothing.
And as soon as I put this on, it was like,
"Yeah, this thing right here feels good."
I can see myself using this
without having a case up there
if I wasn't so paranoid about dropping the phone man,
because it does provide that much level of grip
and I do think it feels very, very good.
So, definitely gives you a way better grip
than what you would get
out of just a bare back iPhone 12 Pro Max,
any of the iPhone series,
it's gonna give you a better grip
because you know these things are slippery
and when this is in my hand,
it does provide a nice level of grip.
So with always guys, go check it out.
It even smells very good, man.
That's that... (sniffs)
That's that leather smell
that you ought to expect from NOMAD, man,
so this is very nice, and leather -
I mean it feels just like lowkey,
the leatherback on their phone case right here.
It feels the same,
you will be able to do little marks and stuff in it,
as you can see here, I have two fingernail marks right here
so I think this is gonna basically handle
just about like real leather
and I can really, really appreciate that
when it comes from NOMAD.
So, like I said man,
I will leave the link down to this
in the description below,
I'm not sure if they make most of the colors
like black, like the rugged case
or any different colors,
if they do, you already know
the link will be down below.
But go pick yourself up one, definitely unique
and definitely one of the best skins
that I have seen for the iPhone 12 Pro Max line,
the 12 series.
This is just a really nice-feeling,
premium-feeling skin that I really, really am digging.
But you already know man, take it to your boy
'bouta get up outta here,
