Nomad is one of our favorite Apple gear accessory makers, any 9to5Toys reader already knows this. We just went hands-on with its absolutely gorgeous new Traditional Leather iPhone 16 case in brown (it’s also available in black) and loved it. But the brand has now expanded its latest collection of iPhone 16 cases and Apple Watch bands shortly after the debut of the new handset covers and the reveal of its 2024 Rocky Point band with a new collection of Forest green colorways. Scope them out below.
New Forest green gear from Nomad
Nomad’s new collection marks its first foray into the new Forest green treatment here. It is, more specifically, landing on two of its latest releases, the iPhone 16 series Rugged case and the aforementioned Rocky Point band. Sorry, no Forest green leather folks…I know I’m mildly disappointed too, but the brand has plenty of gorgeous leather models to check out if you’re into the more traditional browns and blacks.
Having said that, I’m loving the look of the Rocky Point in the dark, almost olive-like green treatment here. At launch in late August, the Rocky Point band was limited to three colorways Storm gray, Atlantic blue, and Sol (a sort of yellowish-orange vibe). But you can now add the new Forest Green here as well – all four models come with your choice of either Natural or Black titanium hardware to match both of Apple’s Ultra 2 wearables perfectly.
Here’s a quick reminder of the specs we detailed in our launch coverage on this band:
- FKM fluoroelastomer rubber
- Grade 5 titanium hardware
- 100% waterproof
- Ventilation groves for breathability
- Designed for Apple Watch Ultra & Ultra 2
- Works with Apple Watch 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, SE, and all previous versions of Apple Watch
Next up we have the latest version of the brand’s Rugged Case for iPhone 16. Previously only available in black, Atlantic blue, and a a sort of beige Desert color, Forest green has now arrived. While I for one immediately gravitate towards the brand’s leather treatments (obviously), it is nice to see it inject its more sporty and protective covers with a new colorway for folks looking to match up with the Rocky Point band.
We also detailed this case in our launch coverage of the brand’s new iPhone 16 covers, but you’ll find a quick refresher below to save you the trouble of digging that up:
- Durable TPU bumpers and camera ring
- Polycarbonate frame with PET backplate
- Anodized aluminum buttons
- 15ft drop protection
- Dual lanyard attachment points
- MagSafe & wireless charging compatible
