For The Dads Who Love Their iPhones

Horween Leather Case for iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro or 14 Pro Max ($70 at Nomad)

Nomad’s Leather iPhone cases really put the brand on the map. Yes, they’re more costly than some other leather options, but you’re getting an incredibly well-crafted case. It starts with Horween Leather sourced from the United States and is paired with a sturdy frame that protects from up to 10-foot drops. The best part is that over-time the leather will patina for a custom look. It even supports MagSafe or Qi-enabled wireless charging.

We love it so much, we’ve featured it before in our Best iPhone Accessories on SI Showcase.

Rugged Case for iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, or 14 Pro Max ($50 at Nomad)

If you’re shopping for an adventurer, we’d suggest the Rugged Case from Nomad. Crafted from a polycarbonate frame with strong TPU bumpers in the corners and a PET backplate, these materials come together to protect your iPhone from up to 15-feet drops. With that extreme protection, it’s still a very lightweight option that doesn’t turn your iPhone into a bulky piece of tech. Just as you’d expect, it supports MagSafe and Qi-enabled wireless charging. You can get the Rugged Case in Black, Ash Green, or “Ultra Orange” for a spicy pop of color.

Super Slim Case for iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, or 14 Pro Max ($30 at Nomad)

We get it, some folks just don’t like a case on their iPhone but still want some sort of protection from scratches. Nomad solves this problem with the affordable Super Slim case. It’s made from 50% recycled materials and delivers a sleek finish that offers some grip. While it keeps the aesthetics of the iPhone, it still protects key areas like the camera with an ever so slightly raised lip. You can get it in dark Carbide or a light Frost.

Screen Protector for iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, or 14 Pro Max ($30 at Nomad)

This one is pretty self-explanatory—Nomad’s screen protectors are made from tempered glass with an oleophobic coating to reduce fingerprints and smudges. Best of all though, for the $30 price you get two of them, a screen cleaning kit, and an alignment tray for an effortless install.

For the Dads Who Love Their Apple Watch

Rugged Band for Apple Watch ($60 at Nomad)

If you’re shopping for an Apple Watch Ultra owner, this might just be the perfect band. The Rugged Band is made from a comfortable fluoroelastomer that is super strong and comes in either a simple shade of black or a fun “Ultra Orange”. It matches perfectly with the Ultra but also works with nearly all the other Apple Watch models (just pick the right size). Safe to say, it’s up for any challenge.

Sport Band for Apple Watch ($60 at Nomad)

A little more simple than the Rugged Band, but just as ready-for-anything the Nomad Sport Band comes in eight fun colors and is crafted from breathable FKM material. The band itself is very malleable and can be customized to fit your wrist just right with an aluminum pin. It’s also entirely waterproof.

Base One Max ($150 at Nomad)

Yes, the Apple Watch comes with a charger in the box, but this dual-charging peripheral from Nomad is next-level. It’s a solid piece of metal with a spot to charge your Apple Watch and your MagSafe-supported iPhone (12 or later). It can push out the maximum charging speed for either Apple device—just be sure to pair it with a 30-watt power adapter.

For the High-Tech Dads

Stand One ($110 at Nomad)

One of the neatest features of a modern iPhone is MagSafe. It not only magnetically aligns to ensure you’re charging but it supports a faster rate of charge. Nomad’s Stand One might just be the sleekest MagSafe charger on the market. It’s crafted from glass and metal with a weighted bottom to ensure it won’t go sliding. You just pop your iPhone on, either horizontally or vertically, and it will begin charging at up to 15-watts. It comes in either Carbide or Silver.

If you’re looking for more options, our friends at Men’s Journal round up some of the latest charging stations from Nomad.

Kevlar Lightning Cable USB-C ($45 at Nomad)

This Lightning Cable is ready for where life takes you. How? Well, it’s wrapped in double-braided Kevlar for a design that likely won’t ever tear, rip, or bend. It comes in either a 1.5-meter or 3-meter size, using official Apple parts, and features an integrated tie for easy storage.

65-Watt Power Adapter ($65 at Nomad)

What’s better than a wall plug with just one port? A wall plug with two ports. This 65-watt power adapter from Nomad uses GaN technology to keep things cool while pushing out to up 65-watts of power spread between two ports. It’s a very compact build with two USB-C ports. This way you can charge an iPhone and an Apple Watch, or any two devices you’d like.
