Stylish & Protective
Rugged Leather Case is the perfect combination of stylish and protective. Horween leather brings the premium look, while a polycarbonate frame and reinforced corners protect your iPhone from unexpected tumbles.
Horween® Leather
Horween leather is minimally treated, preserving many of the natural features of the hide; rather than correcting for blemishes or color variation, the Horween team embraces these imperfections as signs of authenticity and personality.
Camera Control
A glass Camera Control button lets you use your iPhone’s camera to its fullest. As responsive as the one built into your iPhone, it enhances the experience without getting in the way.
Smarter by Design
Integrated neodymium magnets ensure seamless compatibility with MagSafe and Qi2 accessories, and a recessed anchor point keeps Wrist Strap secure without adding bulk.

How is Horween different from other leathers?Horween leather has been made the traditional way since 1905. Unlike most modern leathers that rely on synthetic chemicals, dyes, and sealants for a flawless surface, Horween preserves the leather’s natural character through time-honored tanning methods. The result is a handcrafted material that looks and feels authentic.
-
Will the leather change over time?Our premium leather is minimally and naturally treated and is prone to scuffing and marking in the first few months of use. With time, scuffs and marks will buff out into a rich 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.

Is this case MagSafe compatible?Yes, Rugged Case will work with any MagSafe charger and accessory.
-
How do I attach a lanyard?Place the Wrist Strap’s anchor in the recessed area of the case, then push the D-ring through the USB-C port. Insert your iPhone into place, then loop the Wrist Strap through the D-ring to finish. Want to use a different lanyard? Simply thread it through the D-ring, but note that you’ll still need the anchor attachment.

Best iPhone case of all time!
I've always been intrigued by Nomad's cases. The Rugged Leather case I purchased really blew me away. It looks understated and feels sturdy. It's the most solid case I've had that I decided not to ever change. The Horween leather feels premium. The metal buttons are the best in the business. The case definitely fits snuggly that there are no uneven gaps and the holes for the speakers and charger ports are precise. When held in hand, the solidness is undeniable. Overall, this is one case no one will ever regret buying.

Quality!
Nomad has been my go to protective case for my last 3 iPhones. The day my iPhone 18 ProMax arrived my Nomad case also arrived, perfect timing. This case is classy, good looking and has nice protection features.

Not very rugged
Took the phone with case on one run and the leather has bubbled and the finish has worn off in large spots. I love the design and I owned and used the standard Rugged case for 2 years on my iPhone 16, but this leather model is not very rugged if it can't handle a little moisture.
