The TRUTH About Nomad Products | Nomad Accessories 2 Months Later

[@AbhishekSaral]

The softer silicone will definitely not protect the phone when dropped compared to the harder plastic on the Nomad case for sure. But they grip can sure be improved on Nomad. Most of the proper rugged cases use hard plastic like Rhinoshield and Dbrand Grip case

[@qwazyd0gg]

Either that or a multilayered mix of rubber/silicone and a plastic overlay

[@izzyledesma2628]

I have this case for my iPhone 11 and dropped my phone badly so many times and screen never once shattered and I don’t have a screen protector. Also aged really well. Going to get again for my iPhone 13

[@qwazyd0gg]

That’s good to know! Did you find the grip improve much throughout long term usage?

[@izzyledesma2628]

@@qwazyd0gg I feel like they might get a little better with wear but not much! If my hands are ever wet I have better grip for some reason. But grip isn’t terrible but I’m sure there are way better alternatives if that is a deal breaker for some people!

[@izzyledesma2628]

Update on new case for 13 pro max. Buttons on case are clickier and not mushy like on previous case

[@qwazyd0gg]

That’s some good news right there!

[@johnshaffer270]

@@izzyledesma2628 does your 13 case fit nicely? I have one that the bumper around the screen is a little wavy. It has highs and lows around the screen. I’m not happy with the build quality at all.

[@stigmsr1]

I had the same feeling about the case. There was no way I was going to hand my phone to my kids with the lip on the case. I switched to the Mous case as the lip around the screen seems more protective in comparison. I also kept my Nomad case for more formal stuff as it seems well built.

[@qwazyd0gg]

Same. I can’t bare to part with the case because it is exceptionally well presented, I just can’t use it everyday

[@lelandphill4408]

Does the mous case with leather hold up well? My castify case finally busted at the sides .

[@qwazyd0gg]

I’m curious as well in regards to Mous longevity. I never ended up going back to this case; however, would like a “fancier” case for occasions that holds up well.

[@stigmsr1]

I ended up getting the carbon fiber one because of availability. It’s holding up great.

[@xyzxyzxyzxyz]

I have been using the Apple Silicone case which broke after four months, after 10 months I HAD to replace it. I will replace it with the Nomad case, I'll also be getting the matching traditional strap even after your remarks.

[@qwazyd0gg]

My intent with this video wasn’t to scare people aware from buying it, but to simply put educate people further as to what they may be getting for their money :)

[@xyzxyzxyzxyz]

@@qwazyd0gg I know, im very happy with your video but I was stating my decision for others and I just wanted to bash a little on the shitty apple silicone cases

[@qwazyd0gg]

Haha! Totally get it John :)

[@xyzxyzxyzxyz]

@@qwazyd0gg I was like “who is John”?😂 My generic nickname confused me for a second haha!

[@heartarora6709]

i understand what you mean and NO it's not a small thing for nomad to left those strap buckle loose it's one of the most important thing in a watch strap you were totally right at that point

[@qwazyd0gg]

My strap completely fell apart. The adjustable strap loop fell off shortly after I got it, then the main forward loop as well. I don’t swim with that strap or work out with it, so for pieces to fall off and for the strap to start to separate at the seems was a little off putting for me. If it was a $20 strap I could forgive it, but not at this price point.

[@geeesegooose]

Just ordered the phone case and a wallet from them. It’s taking forever to ship from them. I hope the quality is good cause it’s getting annoying that I don’t know where my stuff is.

[@qwazyd0gg]

That’s why I usually use Amazon vs directly buying from the vendor. Easier for shipping and hassle free for returns usually

[@geeesegooose]

@@qwazyd0gg definitely smart haha

[@christianaguilar3746]

@@geeesegooose I will say I’ve been using nomad products since the iPhone X. One thing about their wallets is some are shipped out from Taiwan, some are shipped out from their HQ in Santa Barbara, CA. Some cases come from a part of china too so you never know where the product is shipping from. That is my one gripe with Nomad

[@Rvinydvy]

Summary: Nomad = Good looks, not so great handling and protection. KZbinr's opinion = I want more protection. Recommends Otterbox or other more protective cases.

[@qwazyd0gg]

More or less yes lol

[@yasserhy]

I have their iPhone case for about 3 months now and I must say I love it. It looks and feels premium.

[@Banguhrang07]

I agree. I’ve had my rugged brown leather case for about 5 months and I find the case to be pretty slippery, most importantly, the buttons are way too mushy and requires extra effort to push. Apple’s leather cases are number 1 on button feel, but the build quality on their leather cases for the 12 series has taken a step back in quality, as their leather seems and smells like pleather. Nonetheless, awesome looking case. I just hope they last.

[@qwazyd0gg]

I agree while heartedly about the Apple leather too. It’s as if they have a shellac or coating on them that makes them feel super cheap now :(

[@eurly93]

They’re vegan leather now so yeah, not real leather anymore

[@qwazyd0gg]

Oh really?

[@pizzalikepizza]

Ah thats why my 12 mini leather case so easily teared off compared to 4 years leather case ip 7 the way they aged the more beautiful. I wouldnt go back with any leather case from apple anymore.

[@qwazyd0gg]

Me either

[@minhtri7399]

What brand is the case you are using?

[@qwazyd0gg]

The other case apart from my Nomad in this video is the Otterbox Aneu

[@biodigitaljazz1]

@@qwazyd0gg LOVE the otterbox aneu, and I'm as picky as can be about cases.

[@qwazyd0gg]

Same Chris!

[@alcoholicmonkey1980]

I really want to get it for my phone, but because it's leather I'm unable to clean it with sanitizing wet wipes.

[@qwazyd0gg]

That’s a great point

[@kevinmalcom4243]

I’ve had the black watch strap for about 3 years now and it’s still beautiful

[@qwazyd0gg]

I’m super jealous lol. My strap has started to split and I’ve lost one of the two strap loops.

[@DipanjanPaul]

In a week my nomad case got full of scratches and bumps (moisture). I use my phone with great care.

[@qwazyd0gg]

Wow :(

[@in2775]

same, after a week i have a million scratches where it doesn't even look good anymore

[@parabucks]

I've been using the normad case for my iPhone 7 years ago. The leather on the case is TOO thin, and I think putting a piece of oil tanned leather on a hard surface is not a good idea.

[@qwazyd0gg]

That’s honestly very valuable input

[@parabucks]

@@qwazyd0gg Because the beauty of the oil tanned leather is to bend it.

[@HeyGreggie]

It’s not slippery to me… it’s a leather case that hasn’t developed a patina.

[@qwazyd0gg]

It may get grippier once it wears in, but it’s the wear in period I’m worried about

[@Beanjuice]

currently looking at a bullstrap case for my 13pro. This was a close 2nd.

[@qwazyd0gg]

I’ve heard so many people mention BullStrap so far!

[@Beanjuice]

@@qwazyd0gg they’re a little delicate from what I’ve seen on the 12 series and I’m holding back till I can find a proper 13 series case review

[@MatthiasNyberg]

It's poop brown? 🙁Damn... I impulse-ordered one earlier today. I should've bought a VGreen genuine crocodile leather strap instead.

[@ac_junior72]

Thanks, I keep hearing about how slippery the Nomad case is. Even though I do love the look...I kinda love my phone better. No question - especially now with the cold weather, super dry hands all the time (and I'm a klutz), this will find a way to the floor, or the concrete sidewalk in no time. 😆

[@qwazyd0gg]

I can’t even imagine trying to use it in the winter 🥶 😬

[@MeirCohen.kingbibi]

Brown case with blue phone it's a crime against humanity.

[@qwazyd0gg]

You’re not wrong, lol

[@RealLifeRodger]

Thanks I’ve been going back and forth between them and Bullstrap.

[@qwazyd0gg]

Glad I could help :)

[@dlouievel]

Bullstrap for sure looks wise. Fantastic. Nomad has some squishy ass buttons and the edges of the leather to plastic is sharp and uncomfortable

[@Wallriss]

I don't like how the Bullstrap has an open area around the speaker and lightning port. Also they do not offer much drop protection around the phone. They did fix all of these issues with the elite case, which is maybe what you are talking about, but they haven't made one of those for the 13 pro max yet. So to me it's either that or the Mous Limitless 4.0 with the pebble like leather back. Which is most likely compromising quality of leather for overall protection and use ability.

[@MC-xh6kj]

Hi! I like your wallpaper? Where can I get it?

[@qwazyd0gg]

The app “backdrops”

[@Space_Garbage]

I know the "truth" narrative is for the YT algorithm, but this is all personal preference. I think it's unfair to allude to other reviewers possibly being dishonest because you personally didn't find the lip protection and grip adequate. Saying that, your feedback is still valuable for those who might be looking for a case for the upcoming iphone.

[@qwazyd0gg]

100% for the algorithm 😂 I didn’t mean to insinuate everyone else was “lying” about their positive reviews, but more so everything I’ve watched about the brand had been overly positive. Maybe that led me to nitpick a little harder than I should have as well, but either way I very much appreciate your comment :)

[@azf543210]

I hate the exposed edge at the top of nomad case.

[@qwazyd0gg]

I agree

[@AndysTV]

What camera do you use? The quality is amazing!

[@qwazyd0gg]

Thank you so much! I use the Sony A6100 with a mix of Sigma and Native Sony lenses.

[@shibumi5210]

I have had mine three years, and I just had to replace it- why? Because it is NOT solid leather!! It is cleverly made to LOOK like it, but it is actually very thin leather sandwiched over and glued to some kind of crap in the middle... mine wouldn't have lasted this long, but I have super-glued it back together several times. These are like the difference between wood veneer, and solid wood- Nomad wants you to think it's solid, but it's actually a very thin veneer- and it's priced like it should be solid! If it was, I wouldn't be replacing mine so soon...

[@qwazyd0gg]

My watch strap already had the primary loop fail, come unglued, dislodge, and go missing. Now I have a huge tail from the buckle down that just freely flaps in the breeze :(

[@billcicardo8053]

Overuse of the word SUPER

[@Chrisgroot19]

Just a thumb down because of the lame ‘this is the truth!’ title. It’s getting pretty lame.

[@qwazyd0gg]

No worries man :) I just figured it was fitting since all the videos that led me to get Nomad accessories were 100% positive but no one seemed to mention the things that would have made me avoid the purchase, lol. I appreciate your honesty though 👊

[@dlouievel]

@@qwazyd0gg very helpful. Unlike the guy above, nomad doesnt support its customers. Is sharp, and even then with the look and “protective” factor, apples leather case feels better especially on the pinky in a one hand approach.

Stop promoting items that are fraudulent. I watched this review and ordered the band and now the company doesn’t even respond to messages. They haven’t shipped the item and it was in stock. Now I am reporting the company as fraud to my bank to get my money back

[@qwazyd0gg]

I’m not sure that conclusively labels their company as fraudulent; however, it’s certainly not a fun experience to go through, and for that I’m sorry. I have no affiliation with this company personally, and ordered these myself with my own money and received what I ordered. Given an unbiased opinion (Which my opinion towards the case was more than likely harsher than they would have wanted) I gave helps educate others on product quality in order to make the best buying decision. I’m leaving your comment in place to help others; however, to say I am promoting a fraudulent brand is both an exaggeration of your own opinion and an invalid statement.

[@RomaniMTB]

@@qwazyd0gg you are a reviewer and they will speed up items for you but if you read some of they reviews (instagram) you will notice that many people are reporting same issue
