Nomad claims their dual-layer Rugged iPhone case meets military drop test standards up to 1.2 meters and provides 360º protection for your iPhone, and I have to say I agree. Moreover, you will still feel the tactile click, which is a nice touch. With precision cut-outs for the speaker grille and ringer/silent switch, sound isn’t muffled by the case, and turning on silent mode doesn’t even require you to slack on your nail-trimming just to reach the switch.Īll of the buttons of the iPhone are covered with the TPU material, which unlike a lot of other TPU cases, surprisingly doesn’t make it any harder to press the buttons. It even works with some of our favorite iPhone docks, like those by Twelve South and Grovemade. Unlike a lot of cases I’ve tried in the past, the Nomad Rugged Case has a very large Lightning port cutout, making it compatible with just about any Lightning accessories you can think of. The same can be said about the camera hump on the back of the iPhone, which is well-shielded by the case’s precision cut-out hole.

This is a company that pays particular attention to detail, and they’ve managed to make even some of the industry’s ugliest materials look great with a unique rear pattern and careful machining precision.īecause this case adds a decent beveled edge to the screen, you can lay your iPhone face down on flat surfaces without having to worry about scuffing your screen. While most TPU-based cases I’ve tried in the past have been far from aesthetically pleasing, Nomad once again works their unique magic with their rugged case.
