Reminds me of the backplates the old Motorola phones had some years ago. They also used magnetic backs but had a pin system on the bottom for accessories like camera lenses add ons and such
Bought one on day one. This is what I have been waiting for…always wanted a Smart Folio-like case for my phones. This is better than I expected. Better than a skin and easy to take on and off. Love it!
@@Johnfocker23 I am usually a no case person. I cannot remember the last time I dropped my phone. This just gives me the added grip while holding with one hand and the reassurance that the lenses will not get scratched when I set it down face up.
A company made something similar back around the iPhone 5 years. It wasn’t leather but was adhesive, had cutout for Apple logo and was more raised than this product.
Just got mine on Monday, and I love it. It does still have a little smell which I don’t like, but I know it won’t last forever. Gonna have to put a screen protector on, but this is the best case I’ve used.
I got the Arc Pulse for my 15 pro max, much prefer that, the looks are sick and it protects a lot more than this would, while also giving you the feeling of not using a case
I have the brown version for the 16 Pro. I really like the feel. I wanted the black version but Nmad says they no longer will stock the black version for the Pro. Picked up an Atom Studios black leather Agave instead.
I should have ordered one on day one when I got the email about the release, but I was up in the air. After your vid I immediately purchased one. Most of the time I rock a leather case, but sometimes I just want to go case less. And this is literally THE perfect mix and a perfect accessory. Thanks for the review and another great vid T!!
Hello there, may i check with you if you are able to do a fit test on iPhone14 pro max? The dimensions differ about 1mm and i am wondering if it will work on iPhone14 pro max. Thank you.
The problem is that, it’s better to just use a skin at this point, because when it comes to a case, the protecting part really is done with the corners, of the case, even all the dents and paint chipping off that happen on a phone while dropping, happens on the corners, this is just useless, a skin would adhere much better and feel more seamless, I could see a point to it in countries like India, where dbrand doesn’t sell, so if you’re a really big fan of real leather.
Wow- I should have patented this idea; I’ve wanted something like this for years. Just wish it’d stop the phone from rocking and a few other refinements.
Anyone knows if the microsuction patches wear off over time, if I frequently remove the case? I like to rotate among my other cases depending on my day. Just wondering if the patches become less effective quicker from this.
I wonder if they could do one that connects via the magasfe of the iPhone instead of sticky stuff. I don't use magsafe accessories so I would be fine having my magsafe used up by the backplate. That way someone could take it on and off anytime they wanted.
I hate my black iPhone 15 I rather have the natural titanium because the black don’t hold well on the titanium it gets small splitting doe to a case and dust in it it’s annoying.
Looks good but I need the full protection, man. I would punch myself if I scratched the sides of my phone. I have one scratch on the side of my phone from two years ago and it still makes me mad😄
This case makes no sense at all. No protection on the corners at all, like you pointed out, Tee. The Arc Pulse is far superior because you get to see the color of your phone, plus protect the essential parts of your phone.
Hey tee! I saw this type of case design with this other company named SÜTI.. they make the same case but with silicone which I think could be even better for grip.. if you have a chance would be great to see you review that one too..thanks 👍🏻
I saw something like this on Instagram once but lost the link and have been scrolling to find it since. Thank you so much for helping me ease this nagging suffering!!!
Ok so i caved and placed my order 😂 wanted to see what this is all about as i miss the smell of a leather case lol and didn’t want a Skin, hoping i can swap this out between this and my Arc Pulse 😂
Mine's rubbish. The bottom doesn't stay stuck on so lifts. The pads are sticky to touch but clearly aren't high enough from the frame to stick to the iPhone. I'm in UK so I'm stuck with an expensive waste of money. Send it back? Not worth it. By the time I pay for International shipping and such, it's not worth it. I wanted this to be so good but mine isn't.
Same with mine, I have already got a refund as the top micro suction didn't work. the bottom was fine but as they only have the one on the top it just peels off to easily when taking it out of the pocket. its a great idea but we need something more to hold to on the phone.
As a minimal case enthusiast, and someone who has few qualms about leaving the fate of my phone to God (and Capital One), I really like this. I've owned Pitaka/Latercase for the last few generations, and rocked an iPhone 7 Plus with a dbrand skin because my main complaint about using a naked iPhone is that the phone is very slippery and takes force to hold onto, especially when your skin is dry. At home I often find myself taking off my case and just using a pop-socket on the naked phone for some surety in the grip. This kind of reminds me of the dbrand leather skin (something I've seriously considered), with the added advantage of being removable if you want to swap to a case. I also wonder if they could add some fingers on the corners and give a similar level of protection to the Arc Pulse without being as THICC on those corners. Anyways, this is a neat idea from Andar. I'm not in at this price, especially when I already have multiple 15 pro max cases, but I look forward to seeing them innovate with this concept.
Damn that's so nice, I like that it has some camera protection, but I don't think I would trust it on my $1700 1tb iPhone 15 pro max haha even with the apple care. Do a drop test haha
Another informative, cool video Tee, you the guy I go to when it comes to Thoughts on cases. Love that look of minimal Case, Nomad hit the bullseye on this one, but I think they should expand on this minimal case with different colors, maybe designs…it would open up to more people, not everyone wants just brown/black leather.
I'm sorry.... I don't get this at all. I think it's kinda dumb...in my opinion anyway. Maybe someone else sees this, and it's right up their alley. So, good for them.
I ordered it then cancelled it, $40 is way too much and I’m not convinced them sticky pads will remain sticky and I’m not a fan of that black camera ring. I like to switch out my cases and this just isn’t gonna fly Im 100% passing I’m glad i cancelled my order as my Anker in car MagSafe mount is very strong so I can see it pulling the dam thing off. Will be sticking to my Arc Pulse 😂
The purpose of a case is to protect your phone. This is an ornament. If you want that for your phone, fine, and I realize it boosts your MagSafe capabilities. But for me, I’d rather go with a real case or entirely without.
I hope Nomad will do a full leather case for our iPhones. Their horween leather is on another level when it comes to feel and smell. This is like Dbrand skin with camera protection.
I would prefer it to attach to the iPhone with MagSafe instead of adhesives. Would be nice to quickly change it to a different case but it could move about like the wallet.
There is no limit on wasting money on… and this make no sense if you want to protect. Why not buy a skin instead? If I start to smell my phone in office. They will think, I lost my mind.😂
@@TechnicallyTeeUS brand is not cheap on shipping to Europe😢. But I made an order for Ryan London full-cover leather case. First time with full cover. I used to have Nomad. Ryan London case has no drop protection at all, right? In case you accidentally drop it (from the phone holding height)
I think it's a bit useless ngl, I feel like it adds a bit of bulk cos you are holding from sides, better off getting a leather skin from dBrand. I love Nomad stuff but this, mehhhhhhhhh. and like one of the comments say, even the Arc might be better though that is ugly as haha.
you be cappin bruh I bought the andar red leather case and that shit looks horrible now after using magsafe accessories after one week 55 bucks wasted because of your hype, "GAME CHANGER!! it's a must have! it's the best" is what you basically say in every video
Yeah Max Tech uses naked iPhone and he regrets it when he heard the crack of the back glass of his iPhone 15 pro max while miss putting it in his pocket off his car during his full day video with the vision pro. Many people thought that the small amount of titanium used on just the frame of the iPhone not even the internal housing makes it a tank and forgot about the amount of glass on the front and the back of the phone. It is not even a sapphire yet
I’d give points putting something new on the table wanting to be a game changer . But nah . This ain’t it and for that price might as well get their own full protection case. I mean I get it it’s like u want ur iPhone to have that leather feel like how some android phone like oppo and xiomi uses vegan leather back instead of that glass feel.
I tell u what if it was cheaper and not leather and I have other colors/ textures somewhere around the 20 dollar mark I think more people would give it a try
Hard pass. 40 bucks? Whats the function ? .. only covering one side of your phone ...barely ... Ok not much protective function. Ok then .. looks ? Your standard brown strip of leather (Design department got cut or something? .. imprint or emboss the damn thing). I guess they needed to see how they can cut cost and increase margin.
The nose prints after the smell test are wild 😂
😭😭
$40???? That's freakin' ridiculous.
You pay for the experience, not the material.
@@JoZibi I still think it's ridiculous.
Maximum price for minimalism. Who would’ve thought it.
No competition. For some reason Chinese still don’t make these type of cases. At least I didn’t find it on Aliexpress
A dbrand Real Leather Skin aka Sticker costs 35$ …. So 40$ is not that bad imho 😉

Nice! Yeah you get that rich leather smell for sure.
It’s only available for iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max. Does it fit iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max?
I got the Arc Pulse for my 15 pro max, much prefer that, the looks are sick and it protects a lot more than this would, while also giving you the feeling of not using a case
Yeah the Arc Pulse is for sure going to give you more protection.
I have the Arc Pulse as well and its my go to case for sure

This new product category is dope
Even if it's not for everyone, I'm not mad at them for trying something new.
@@TechnicallyTee Would be cool if they made one with strong glue on the back, like those skins.
I’ve had it for about a week. I got the black one from my black titanium 15 pro max and I absolutely love it!
Motorola did something like that for the Moto Z line back in the day, they were magnetic too

Are there any other brands that make cases like this? The nomad one is €70 incl shipping to the Netherlands….
Looks cool but it’s a hell nah for me. I’ll stick with the Arc Pulse all day baby
Yep almost pulled the trigger but going stick with my Arc Pulse as my Daily
Great review. Lots of personality. Subscribed
interesting, it's a no from me tho
I like the design but also am afraid of the leather back could be pulled off easily. Any possible way to make it stickier to the phone?
Don’t worry. I have put mine on a MagSafe charger stand and can take the iPhone off without issue.
I thought phone case is for protection if you drop your phone. How much protection you’d get for this case?
Wow- I should have patented this idea; I’ve wanted something like this for years. Just wish it’d stop the phone from rocking and a few other refinements.
Have you tried the Nomad case plus the Arc pulse bumpers? It probably won’t work but maybe worth the shot
I don’t see it working as the Arc Pulse is a very tight fit and it wont fit over the camera bump, I’m tempted to try a leather skin with the Arc Pulse
@@simonsays6965 That’s a better idea! If you ever try it please update me
I had this idea once, when I held up that rhinoshield mod nx magsafe plate, with the phone, it felt really good in hand
Anyone knows if the microsuction patches wear off over time, if I frequently remove the case? I like to rotate among my other cases depending on my day. Just wondering if the patches become less effective quicker from this.
I wonder if they could do one that connects via the magasfe of the iPhone instead of sticky stuff. I don't use magsafe accessories so I would be fine having my magsafe used up by the backplate. That way someone could take it on and off anytime they wanted.
I’m sure it does
I believe it is MagSafe, the sticky stuff I see isn’t sticky it’s suction
this is connected via magsafe, the sticky part is additional
Does the Arc Pulse for 15 Pro Max fit over this by any chance? 🤔
Defo not due to that camera bump
Does this work with iphone 14 series phone?
I hate my black iPhone 15 I rather have the natural titanium because the black don’t hold well on the titanium it gets small splitting doe to a case and dust in it it’s annoying.
Does anyone know where I can get something like this for my s24 ultra
Looks good but I need the full protection, man. I would punch myself if I scratched the sides of my phone. I have one scratch on the side of my phone from two years ago and it still makes me mad😄

Can you put in on a iPhone 14 Pro Max ? I know it’s only for 15 Series but can you try it ?
Vaja cases made one of these for the iPhone 14 Pro but they're way more expensive
Tee, can you review the newest case by UAG? Monarch forged carbon. Thats 149.99usd in the UAG's website. Ridiculous 😂
You hit every point I was wondering about, thank you, great video, love the way you explain.
@Tee can you do a review on the casetify ripple phone case I appreciate it

I got the Suti silicone back and I love it. They said they’re working on a leather version in May. This is getting me excited. I hate cases.
I've seen a few comments talking about this so I might have to check it out.
@@TechnicallyTeeI have a spare grey one for a pro max if I can send one to you.
That’s crazy wouldn’t have thought of that. I was trying to count how many times you said minimal lol. Great video as always. 💪🏽 💪🏽
They look great but don’t hold and start to peel off at the camera and top corners.
Yeah the camera top area did seem a little week and could've used a little piece of adhesive or something there.
The purpose of a case is to protect your phone. This is an ornament. If you want that for your phone, fine, and I realize it boosts your MagSafe capabilities. But for me, I’d rather go with a real case or entirely without.

Will it work with iphone 14 pro ?
I hope Nomad will do a full leather case for our iPhones. Their horween leather is on another level when it comes to feel and smell. This is like Dbrand skin with camera protection.
Yo, WIFI charging would be siiiiick! lol
You know! 😂😂😂😂
Im using a case for protection not for destroying my phone!
Nothing for iPhone 13 mini??
I would prefer it to attach to the iPhone with MagSafe instead of adhesives. Would be nice to quickly change it to a different case but it could move about like the wallet.
It does attach with magsafe, adhesive just help it stay on better.
I would prefer full adhesive instead of just a few points of contact. Now dust and grit can slip in between and scratch up your phone.
It’s about time a company made this. Tired of seeing these good looking phones wrapped i some cheap plastic

I saw that in my mailbox and literally checked the date to see if it was an April fools joke!!
Thanks Tee. Great vid. Looks great but man I’d be so scared if I dropped my phone haha
Yeah if you drop it then you will get some damage 1000%.

Great, I look in the info for a link to the product and notice you also have a wallpaper pack. The latter has now been purchased 😅
you be cappin bruh
I bought the andar red leather case and that shit looks horrible now after using magsafe accessories after one week
55 bucks wasted because of your hype, "GAME CHANGER!! it's a must have! it's the best" is what you basically say in every video

I don't trust any the lingo when they are talking about protection. I'm always thinking something is going to break when the phone is dropped.
Been waiting for this 💯💪
imma get one when it’s magnet only, like ipad case
It's would be good if they have given some sort of film to protect the said
Yeah that would be a nice touch. Like Phone Rebel does for the Flex.
Gotta check it out more than a day, a full week review would be better cause I got some wallets with stronger magnets
Yah I might use it for a few days and see if I have a change of mind.
Might as well review the phoneback by Suti
Seeing numerous posts about this so I'm going to have to check it out.
Very cool idea but I know that my magsafe accessories are gonna pull that off, just like the ohSnap 4 Lux does.
I’ve got my oh snap 3 on it and haven’t had any problem at all.
Waiting for the 14 pro version. Such a great idea!!
I got two and honestly regret it, feels cheap :/ even though it’s horween leather.
It's not perfect and for sure has some areas where I can improve.
33 grams is superlight? No way man! Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max leahter case weights 30 grams! This Nomad is heavy as hell.
I’d give points putting something new on the table wanting to be a game changer . But nah . This ain’t it and for that price might as well get their own full protection case. I mean I get it it’s like u want ur iPhone to have that leather feel like how some android phone like oppo and xiomi uses vegan leather back instead of that glass feel.
Yeah it's hard to justify when you can get a great case for the price you're paying for the magnetic back.
The nose print sent me
😂😂😂
Drop that phone, let’s try the protection 😂
It's basically a leather skin with camera lens protection like Dbrands? 😂
A little more than that but def something different.
Yeah but removable and reusable
The crotchless pants of the case world...
I love my Nomad case, but this thing just doesn’t make sense. Maybe for 10 USD.
Yeah well you know nomad is going to hit you with the high price point. It's not for everyone.
Waiting for mine to ship to Ukraine. I am a fan of nomad accessories. So far so good
Niceeeee
I tell u what if it was cheaper and not leather and I have other colors/ textures somewhere around the 20 dollar mark I think more people would give it a try
finally. i was waiting for this review!
If you dont care about protecting your investment, buy it
Some people like not using a case at all so it has a market. It's something out there for everyone.
Holy S***!!! This is awesome, ima gonna pick one up now
Hard pass. 40 bucks? Whats the function ? .. only covering one side of your phone ...barely ... Ok not much protective function. Ok then .. looks ? Your standard brown strip of leather (Design department got cut or something? .. imprint or emboss the damn thing).
