If you want to protect an iPhone or iPad then you are always at the right place at Nomad. This manufacturer of accessories specializes in well -considered accessories of high quality that can also take a beating.
We regularly receive new products from Nomad to discuss on appletips. In the field of accessories, these are always products that we will use ourselves below. For example, several Nomad cases have already protected our iPhones against fall damage.
In addition to iPhone covers, Nomad also supplies covers for the iPad. If you have an iPad Pro M4 then there is good news, for this iPad the Nomad Leather Folio is also available since mid -December.
Nomad Leather Folio iPad Pro M4
For the new folio, Nomad uses Premium Volnerf leather, which is painted with aniline for a deeper color. Over time, the leather will automatically become darker and shinier, due to the aging the cover gets a unique personal appearance.

The inside of the folio is equipped with a microfiber inside to protect the front and back of the iPad. Fiber optic panels are used for firmness in the folio, making the thickness of the rear only 2.2 mm and the front 2.4 mm.
Magnetic
The Nomad Leather Folio can easily attach you to your iPad Pro. To confirm the folio, push it against the back of your iPad. The magnets in the folio and the iPad ensure that they are aligned and attached to the right place.
A solution for Apple Pencil users
A common complaint from iPad users who also use an Apple Pencil is that it regularly falls from the iPad. Especially if you use the iPad a lot on the road or transported it in a bag. The Leather Folio from Nomad is equipped with a magnetic flap, which also goes over the Apple Pencil. This keeps it better in place and the pencil does not get away from the iPad quickly.

If you do not have Apple Pencil, you can also use the folio, the magnetic closure fits seamlessly on the iPad in that case. Due to the extra flap, the front of the cover stays in place.
Magnets for smart functions
The Leather Folio also uses the smart wake and sleep function of the iPad. The iPad is automatically activated when you open the foil and is placed in sleep mode again when you close it.

Thanks to the internal magnets, the Leather Folio can be used for your iPad in different positions. Handy if you want to watch videos, read, Facetime’n and so on.
Flap magnetically
When you use the iPad, you can easily attach the magnetic flap for the Apple Pencil on the back of the cover using magnets. This is possible when you use the cover as a stand, but also when you completely turn the front of the folio and ‘stick’ on the back.
Even then you can secure the magnetic flap of the Apple Pencil, and actually the closure, so that it is not in the way.

Alternative to the Apple Smart Folio
Since last years, Apple has not supplied iPhone or iPad covers made of leather. For a plastic Smart Folio Hoes from Apple for the iPad Pro 11-inch (M4) you pay € 89 in the Apple Store. For the Nomad Leather Folio you pay a little more, namely € 110. For this you get a premium leather folio with a handy flap that holds the Apple Pencil in place.
Conclusion: Nomad Leather Folio (iPad Pro M4)
Review Score
The Nomad Leather Folio for the iPad Pro M4 is a great alternative to the Apple Smart Folio. For a little more money you get a higher quality and more sustainable folio. The magnetic flap ensures that the Apple Pencil stays in place. Something that is a welcome addition with the thin iPad Pro with M4 chip.
The magnets on the rear and front also ensure that you can place the cover in different positions and you can neatly eliminate the magnetic flap for the Apple Pencil during use. Again a well -thought -out Nomad product of high quality!
- Slim design, makes your iPad just 4.6 mm thicker
- Magnetic flap that holds the Apple Pencil in place
- Made from sustainable leather
- By using the powerful magnets as a stand
