As with all of Nomad's Horween leather cases, the Rugged Case for AirPods Pro will develop a unique patina over time. The case is available in all black or brown accented with a hard plastic shell around the perimeter. I preferred the all-black model over the two-tone design. Inside the case is a soft microfiber lining for protection with a cutout to allow easy opening and closing.
Nomad also designed a pass-through to allow the charging LED light to show through the case and added a hook to attach a lanyard, but you will need to provide your own.
Pros
- Choice of all black or brown with black accents
- Rigid case with soft microfiber lining for protection
- Charging light shows through the case
- Reasonably priced
- Hook for lanyard attachment
Cons
- Lanyard not included
- Black accents might be distracting in brown case
Final Verdict
The Rugged Case for AirPods Pro is a nice add-on for anyone, but especially for Nomad enthusiasts who like a consistent look and feel for their wireless charging stands, phone cases, Apple Watch bands, and more.
