Nomad Launches iPhone Wallet With Find My Integration

[MacRumors]

Nomad today announced the launch of the Leather Mag Wallet for iPhone, which includes an integrated Tracking Card that works with Apple's Find My app.

The Leather Mag Wallet attaches to the back of a MagSafe iPhone using a magnetic connection, and it serves as an alternative to Apple's own Leather Wallet with MagSafe. Nomad made the wallet from vegetable-tanned Horween leather that will develop a unique patina over time.

Nomad's Mag Wallet is able to hold up to four standard credit cards, and it connects to Find My so if it comes off of the iPhone and is lost, it can be found with the Find My app. Find My network integration is included, so if you are out of range, it will be able to connect to Apple products owned by others to relay its location. Find My also includes features for playing a sound and getting a notification when the wallet is left behind.

There is a rechargeable battery inside and the Mag Wallet can be charged using any Qi or MagSafe charger. The battery lasts for up to five months. The wallet can be attached to any MagSafe iPhone or iPhone in a MagSafe case, and it comes in black and brown colors.

The Leather Mag Wallet can be purchased from the Nomad website for $79.

Oh god forbids you plug it for 20 minutes every 5 months

Doesn't the iPhone already come with an app that holds your credit cards, and doesn't the iPhone already work with "Find My"?

What next? They make a carry sack to hold your backpack?

why would anyone carry credits on a phone wallet? you lose the phone or most likely someone snatches , you lose phone and cards

 

[HighwaySnowman]

That's not a wallet. That's an ugly little credit card holder that leaves a card visible.

This is a wallet:

You know you can put other cards in it, like say., a security card for an office building, or maybe even actual cash? You know, things that can't go into your iPhone. I know it's hard to believe, but some people have items that can't be stored digitally in a phone but fit in a wallet.

Is it really that difficult to think outside of your own little world, people?

Since it's attached to the phone you could use Find My to just...find your phone.

Yes because phones never die, every place takes Apple Pay, and all states allow digital ID

I want this case. I already use a wallet like this but I’ve lost the wallet before when I removed it and was careless

Ever consider a scenario where your wallet isn’t attached to your phone?

ever heard of drivers license? and I suppose you do not shop at Walmart ...

This is…actually perfect for me. I love Nomad’s 15PM leather case (got one on massively deep discount from Verizon) and as much as I liked Apple’s own…the failure of the Find My implementation on those made them fairly useless if they get detached.

Is this a lot of money for a glorified mini wallet? Yes. Am I willing to spend it if this works as advertised and (as a bonus) matches the color of my current case? …dang, I’m close to it.

There's absolutely no incentive or reason for anybody to purchase this over Apple's (imo), which is $20 cheaper and doesn't ever need to be charged.

This is a wallet that’s even more ugly.

Shop at Walmart?

LOLNO. Haven't set foot in one of those in well over a decade. I drive past a Sams to get to Costco, because I will not do business with that horrible company.

This. And if you really need a Find My tracker, use one of the thin ones in Amazon, I use one by Anker and I have to charge it each 3 or 4 months with my minimalist wallet by Gucci.

 

[HighwaySnowman]

I don't care if my wallet is ugly. It goes in my back pocket. I have to sit on it, it has to be comfortable. It holds a few cards, and more importantly it holds cash.

No mention of no precision finding? No precision finding,..no thanks.

from their website:

• Does Leather Mag Wallet support precision finding?
  Leather Mag Wallet can track items up to 150ft away, but it doesn't have the Ultra Wide Band technology found in AirTags and therefore doesn't support precision tracking.

 

[Entilzha]

There is, actually. With Apple’s wallet, you only know where it was *removed*. With this one, it’s almost the same location tracking as a AirTag. Yes, they make credit card sized Find My-enabled devices you can put into wallets and such, but Apple’s wallet already only holds 3 cards, so that eats a slot right there.

Nomad’s holds up to 4 cards, with the Find My ability built in.

Great idea… wait…?

 

[Woodcrest64]

The only thing missing with this wallet, is magsafe to attach it to the iPhone. Otherwise, this thing is loaded. 😂
P.S. This isn't my wallet. lol!

Not paying $80 without ACTUAL precision tracking personally, but you do you.

I detach my phone wallet from the phone itself pretty frequently... so there is value in this concept.

It's not worth $79 to me though.

$20 more and you can still find your wallet when it’s detached. With the Apple wallet, you’re out of luck if you don’t remember where it came off once it’s detached
