Leather Options
Modern Leather Case is available in two leathers. Both develop a unique patina over time, but each has its own character and finish.
Camino Leather
Our Camino leather was developed by Nomad in collaboration with Danish tannery ECCO. It uses modern tanning techniques designed to be adaptable, efficient, and innovative. Camino leather develops a patina over time while being slightly less susceptible to scratches and marks than Horween leather.
Horween Leather
Horween leather is handcrafted entirely in the USA using traditional techniques. It is minimally treated to preserve the natural character of the leather, so it will readily absorb marks, scratches, and oils. Over time, these marks buff into a rich, lustrous patina that is completely unique to you. If you're looking for authentic, American-made leather, Horween is the choice for you.

More questions? Check out these FAQs.
- Will the leather scratch? Both of our leather options are naturally and minimally treated, so they will readily pick up scuffs and marks, especially during the first few weeks of use. Over time, these marks will buff into a rich, lustrous patina that evolves with use.
- How do I care for my case's leather? Watch our instructional video on caring for your leather here.
- Can I use this case with another iPhone series or device? Traditional Leather Case for iPhone 17 and iPhone 18 are cross-compatible. Cases for all other iPhone series are only compatible with the series they were designed for. For example, Traditional Leather Case for iPhone 16 works only with iPhone 16, while Traditional Leather Case for iPhone 15 works only with iPhone 15, and so on. Our iPhone cases are not compatible with any other devices.
- Does it offer camera protection? While the case doesn't cover the camera lens itself, it features a raised camera ring that keeps the lens elevated when your iPhone is lying flat. This helps prevent direct contact with surfaces and offers protection from everyday wear.
- Is Traditional Leather Case compatible with Wrist Strap or other lanyards? Traditional Leather Case for iPhone Air is not compatible with Nomad Wrist Strap or other third-party lanyards. Traditional Leather Case for iPhone 17 and iPhone 18 features an internal lanyard attachment system.
- Is Traditional Leather Case compatible with USB-C cables? Traditional Leather Case for iPhone Air is not compatible with Nomad USB-C Cable or most third-party USB-C cables. It is compatible with the Apple USB-C cable included with iPhone Air and magnetic wireless chargers.
- Where can I find information for iPhone 14 and older? Traditional Leather Case isn't available for iPhone 14, but if you have questions about iPhone 14 availability, feel free to email us at [email protected]. Someone from our team will be happy to help!
