NOMAD TECH ACCESSORIES

I received an early Fathers Day care package courtesy of my favorite tech accessory brand, NOMAD. They produce wireless charging stands, mouse pads, phone cases, connection cables, smart watch straps and more. They've even transitioned some of their manufacturing capacity to produce some medical supplies that have been heard for people to get their hands on during the pandemic including hand sanitizer, nitrile gloves and face masks. These guys are awesome!

If you are shopping for dads or grads, I'm sure NOMAD has something that that special someone would be geeked to receive as a gift. This dad blogger has been putting the samples they sent me to good use. NOMAD makes some great stuff! I absolutely give their brand a Geek Daddy nod of approval.

MOUSEPAD

Coming in slate grey or rustic brown, these mousepads are designed to be the only one you'll ever need. It combines style with functionality and durability. This mousepad is constructed with a Horween leather surface and no slip micro-textured rubber base.

A great upgrade providing my home office space with a more mature look replacing the beat up mousepad displaying Looney Tunes characters that proceeded it. Not only do I like the look but this mousepad is more than double the size of any previous one I've had before and provides a great surface for seamlessly connecting my mouse to the computer.

WIRELESS BASE STATION STAND
I have to say this is one of my favorite gadgets that is around my house. Keep it right on the desk in my home office where it wirelessly charges my phone. All I have to do is place my phone on this base stand and it charges.  While my phone is charging it can also do other tasks like download apps, emails or other content which is very useful. Plus the display screen stays on so I can also use its clock features while working.

It is not just useful but looks very nice while sitting on your desk as well. The NOMAD Base Station Desk Charger has a precision molded aircraft-grade aluminum body and padded leather charging surface. It includes a LED charging indicator that shows at a glance when the base station is operating. A nice feature is the charging sensor has an ambient light sensor that automatically dims at night. Lots of nice details make this a standout product that is a nice addition for a home office desk top, a bedroom night stand, or that section of a kitchen counter where everyone tends to charge their phones. I love this device!

CORONAVIRUS MEDICAL SUPPLIES

Metro Detroit has been hit hard by the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. It is impossible to find hand sanitizer and virus killing cleaning products on store shelves. Yet for those of us who have to leave the house for work or supply runs these are essential products for keeping families safe. So I really appreciate NOMAD sending us some hand sanitizer our way. This is going to come in handy!

Medical supplies you can purchase from NOMAD include hand sanitizer, face masks, nitrile gloves,  surface cleaner, and contactless thermometers. Businesses that are looking to re-open who need these supplies should definitely head over to the NOMAD website. Of course these are items that families can use too!

GREAT TECH TO KEEP TRAVEL LOVING DADS AND GRADS CONNECTED

Looking for a Fathers Day present for a traveling dad like myself? A graduation present for someone who loves to travel? Or maybe something for yourself to make life more convenient? In that case, check out the tech available from NOMAD® that enhances electronic gadgets to make them more practical to use and powered up for people on to go.  I recently had the chance to try out a wireless charging stand, rugged universal cable, and leather phone case from NOMAD.  Have to say these products were really impressive!

WIRELESS CHARGING STAND

For cellular phones with wireless charging capabilities this offers a convenient way to keep charged up whether you are at home or traveling around the country.  Sized to be as easy to place on a desk as it is to pack within in a back pack or suit case. The charger's top side is wrapped in premium leather that provides a rugged but refined look that will be appealing to any guy plus it has a rubber base to provide a sturdy grip wherever it is placed.

Its 7.5W charge output powered up my Samsung S8 just as quickly as when it is plugged into a USB outlet or electrical outlet via a cord. Plus it charged up without me having to remove my phone from its protective case so all I had to do was place it upon the leather pad. Wow! Recharging my phone now is as simple as just setting it down on this charging stand.

No more having to mess around with cords with the NOMAD Wireless Charging Stand.  It offers dual resting position for your phone so you can have it upright or lying flat while charging a phone. Doesn't it suck to lose track of your phone when staying someplace overnight? Set the charger to upright position while placing it on the night table next to a bed so a phone remains visible during traveling stops using the stand's sturdy aluminum kickstand.  When at your home or office use its flat stance on a desk so you can just toss a phone on the pad for an easy battery recharge.

The NOMAD Wireless Charging Stand is made to be used with iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, Samsung S9, Samsung S9 Plus, Samsung S8, Samsung S8 Plus, and Samsung Note phones.  It is also compatible with all other android phones which are wireless charging compatible. Not only has it received a number of five star customer reviews on its website, but this wireless charging stand has also earned A Geek Daddy nod of approval.

UNIVERSAL CABLE

I'm always nervous when traveling that the cables needed to access and charge my electric devices like cameras, laptops, and tablets will get damaged or lost while out and about.  NOMAD has created a universal cable that is compatible with most devices and rugged enough to stand up to the wear and tear of any adventure.  This is going to become a permanent accessory stored within the backpack that I take on all my road trips. Whether hiking at a rural national park or spending time at Disney World this is a nice accessory to keep handy whenever you are traveling.

You can rely on military strength durability with this dependable Universal Cable from NOMAD. It is wrapped in 500D Nylon woven in a ballistic weave pattern which was originally developed to protect military forces from shrapnel and bullets. Now that is some heavy duty stuff you can trust!

The Universal Cable comes with integrated multi-tip charging options so it can interface with and charge a variety of mobile devices. The core cable has a USB A tip at one end and Micro USB at the other. Two attached tips, an MFi Certified Lightning tip and a USB Type C, can be snapped onto the Micro USB side making the cord useful with all iPhone, Android and other USB powered devices. No more hoping you brought along the right cord when you have this one along for the ride!

They’ve even added a custom designed Liquid Silicone Rubber tie to ensure their cable doesn’t get tangled.  With the attention to detail placed in designing and producing this Universal Cable, NOMAD is so confident in the quality of this product they provide a 5 YEAR GUARANTEE.  I sure do like it when a company stands behind their products like this!

LEATHER PHONE CASE

I have a hard protective case for my phone, but sometimes that just doesn't look very nice in certain situations.  For example, attorneys are allowed to take their phone into court but sometimes you need to inconspicuous when using it.  The leather case from NOMAD I've been using when visiting courthouses is very professional looking yet doesn't stand out.  I've found it to be very convenient when needing to access my phone without being overly noticeable.

Made from high-quality Horween leather this phone case looks sharp!  Horween Leather Co. has been making leather products for more than 100 years so you know they produce quality stuff to have stayed in business so long and garnered the quality reputation their business has. In addition to the leather exterior looking good, its interior has a microfiber lining to cushion a phone placed inside and semi-rigid TPE edges protected it from drops.  My phone slipped into the protective well of this leather folio nice and snug so there are no worries about this case putting style before function.

There are also slots within the case so you can use it as a wallet as well.  Throw in your identification, cash and credit cards to carry in it as well.  The other day I went to work without my wallet carrying my driver's license, State Bar ID, a debit card and some cash in the phone case.  It also has a cut out in the rear of the case so you can use a phone's camera functions without removing it from the case.

Whether for use in a professional capacity or just to spruce up a casual look this really is an outstanding case to store your phone in.  Both stylish and durable, this is a great addition to use for both work and play.  I've been getting a lot of use out of mine so obviously it gets a good recommendation.

The brand philosophy for NOMAD is to create products that allow their customers to own fewer things, be resourceful and seek adventure.  From my experience they are definitely living up to those expectations!
