Apple accessories maker Nomad turned up the wattage Tuesday on its second-generation glow-in-the-dark Sport Band for Apple Watch. And it also unveiled its first-ever Glow Sport Case for iPhone 15 Pro models. They both glow in the dark — even more so than the first Glow Sport Band.
Nomad Glow 2.0 Sport Band for Apple Watch and Glow Sport Case for iPhone 15
Nomad introduced Glow 2.0 Sport Band and a new Glow Sport Case for iPhone 15 series handsets. They promise three times the previous generation‘s glow-in-the-dark brightness, Nomad said. In daylight, the band exhibits a soft green hue, but when the lights go out, it transforms into a vibrant, neon green color.
Nomad experimented with more than two dozen variations to achieve the perfect blend of color and glow intensity, it said. Note, however, that the new items look to be popular, with the cases for iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max both already marked “sold out” on the website.
Complementing Glow 2.0 Sport Band is the Glow Sport Case, Nomad’s inaugural glow-in-the-dark offering for the iPhone. Like the band, the case flaunts a light green shade during the day and transitions to a neon green glow at night, creating an eye-catching look. (But note that the intensity and duration of the glow depend on the amount of light exposure the watch band and case receive during daylight hours.)
Nomad crafts the new band from the same FKM fluoroelastomer rubber that makes up its other Sport Bands. While slightly thicker and more rigid than Apple’s sport band, it remains comfortable to wear and is designed to withstand water and sweat. Strategically placed holes in the band promote ventilation, helping keep the band dry.
Glow Sport Case for iPhone 15 series
The Glow Sport Case is a variation of Nomad’s popular Sport Case, tailored specifically for the iPhone 15 Pro models. Despite its glossy finish, the case offers ample grip to prevent accidental drops. A rubber bumper around the sides and camera provides additional protection. The aluminum buttons are easy to press, and the case supports MagSafe, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of MagSafe accessories.
Nomad’s new case provides 8-foot drop protection, with the rubber bumper offering additional cushioning for the display area. While not as slim as Apple’s silicone case, the Glow Sport Case strikes a balance between protection and style, with the added bonus of the glow-in-the-dark feature that sets it apart at night.
You can buy Nomad Glow accessories on Nomad’s website. Glow 2.0 Sport Band costs $60 and Glow Sport Case goes for $50.
