One of the easiest ways to personalize your smartphone is to dress it up with a high-quality coating.
If you’re not familiar with smartphone skins, they’re actually premium stickers that give your phone a distinctive look, allowing you to give your device a different color, pattern, or material , like leather, for example.
In fact, leather wraps are one of the most popular options on the market due to their unique look and feel in the hand.
Premium leather and magnets
But if you want one, you have to bring yourself to put a sticker on your smartphone and not be tempted to peel it off, which is not easy, at least for me.
This is where Nomad comes in with its solution. This company has been making premium leather accessories for Apple devices for years, and it just announced the Magnetic Leather Back for the iPhone 15 Pro that solves the problem of leather skins by allowing you to remove it anytime ! Here are more details below.
It’s not a skin in the traditional sense, but rather a slab of leather that you place on the back of your iPhone when you want to give your device a facelift. Available in black or brown, it uses MagSafe magnets on the back and “micro-suction patches” to attach it to your smartphone. It even has a raised ring to protect photo lenses.
The advantage of leather without the disadvantages of stickers
Nomad told us via email that you can stick the back on and remove it whenever you want with no problem. And this is clearly verified in reality. I took my Magnetic Leather Back on and off my 15 Pro as I typed this article, and it had no problem staying in place no matter how many times I repeated it.
It’s the perfect accessory for anyone who wants a leather skin or textured backing but doesn’t want stickers or a case on their smartphone.

The Horween leather used here is sourced from the USA and will naturally patina over time, just like Nomad’s other products. You will always keep full MagSafe charging compatibility when using it. And the way it sits, it’s unlikely there’ll be any dust or debris between it and the back of your phone.
A serious compatibility problem
The biggest drawback is limited device compatibility. Nomad only sells it for the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, leaving owners of the standard iPhone 15 to fall back on the company’s cases for all things leather.
The Magnetic Leather Back is sold on the Nomad website for $40 to which you must add around twenty dollars for shipping to France.
