Will the leather change or scratch over time?Our Horween leather is minimally treated with natural oils and waxes and is therefore prone to scuffing and marking in the first few months of use. With time, scuffs and marks will buff out into a rich and lustrous patina. If you’re looking for a perfect finish, this is not the case for you. If you’re after an authentic leather patina, this is absolutely the case for you.
-
How are our cases different from other leather cases?The Horween leather we use is made in the traditional style dating back to 1905. Most leathers use synthetic tanning chemicals, dyes, and sealants to make a "perfect" surface. After so many synthetic treatments, it is hardly leather at all. We opt for handcrafted, traditionally tanned leather.

Reviews
Great, high quality product with great customer service
I previously owned two Modern Folios in Horween leather. This time, I originally bought the regular leather Modern Folio becausei thought the English tag was a nice color in the picture. I was sorely disappointed. The color and feel was very much like plastic or vinyl. Nomad’s great customer service had me swapped out with a Horween Leather in “Olde Dublin” color. I could not be more pleased. The leather has a warm buttery feel and the color is deep and rich. It accommodates 3 cards plus my license and cash. One extra note: the price dropped $20 the day after I placed my order and Nomad made a price augment easy after I asked. Thank you, Nomad.
Leather Folio, iPhone 16 Pro
This review, yes, is for the iPhone 16 Pro leather folio. Understand that I come to this point after using this same style brown Nomad folio with my iPhone 13 Pro for 4 years. Over that 4 years, true to claims by Nomad, that folio developed an amazing patina and wear pattern. It did not "wear out," did show signs of abrasion wear around the corners, but never failed although it was in use during all of my waking hours, every day, for that 4 years. I cared for it approximately every other month with a very high quality leather cleaner, and then protector, to keep it looking fine. It also protected my iPhone 13 in several drop incidents. One incident was from the open door of a Boeing 737 jet -about 10 feet up from the ground. No damage to my phone, and only some abrasions on the hinge side of the folio. REMARKABLE. This review for the Green Chrome iPhone 16 folio is to say I have received over the past 9 months of use the same performance I came to expect after using my older portfolio for those 4 years. Though the green color showed significant signs of wear along the spine after only 9 months, Nomad promptly honored my warranty claim and sent a replacement. I plan to. shorten my care cycle now to monthly since it seems the chrome process used for the Green Chrome Leather Folio may be a small bit more susceptible to wear. In closing, I must say that outside of this warranty event for the Leather Folio, this product is true to Nomad's statements that it looks amazing after extensive use, is totally functional in protection, and that Nomad does indeed stand behind their products and their name. The attached photos show the brown 4-year old 13 Pro folio and the green 9-month old 16 Pro folio.
Still my #1 leather case for iPhone! Nothing beats NOMAD!
What I like: Horween leather looks expensive and high quality even their ecco version ones Smells good! Horween patinas the best among any other brands (I’ve had a 12 pro max case before and I can attest to that) Great for formal events and meetings. Even dates :) Leather stitchings are perfect! Arrived with no flaws from delivery It has the best looking buttons for leather case in my opinion Buttons are easy to click Best thickness for camera lips in my opinion Good drop protection The fit is perfect, everything is aligned even the camera control button cutout I love their packaging The time I had purchased it, there was a free screen protector Rustic brown color is love What I don’t like: Sadly the sides are made from TPU material, and my old one just lasted around 3-4 years before it all fell apart (cracked sides and I have not even dropped my phone, I am very careful with it) leaving my 12 pro max caseless. The thing that disappointed me the most was the 3-4 years patina was really nice and I’ve waited for it but then the sides fell apart. Lastly, there’s no camera control button and the camera control button is exposed. And I assume the camera control cutout durability would not last. With all these said, I’m very happy with my purchase. NOMAD will always be my number one go to case! I’ve tried a lot of cases, but this one will always be in my heart. Thank you NOMAD, God bless your business, keep it up! To the customers: I have uploaded the photos with no filter, so what you see is what you get. Hope this helps.
