When Apple announced AirPods we—like many others—chuckled. Then we messed around with a pair and our opinion completely changed. The only thing we stand by is the fact that they seem a tad fragile for something so pricey and something used so often. Enter Nomad’s new Rugged Case. The Rugged Case covers your AirPods charging case in genuine Horween leather that ages beautifully and develops a rugged patina. Not only does that mean a bit of protection from occasional drops, but it means your ubiquitous product can now stand out from the crowd. We dig the brown leather version, but you can also pick up the Rugged Case in black leather as well.
