# Nomad

> Nomad is a Santa Barbara product-design company that turns phone cases, watch bands, chargers, cables and wallets into durable everyday-carry gear. Founded in 2012 around a wallet-sized charging cable, the brand now sells directly online and through more than 60 retailers to a community of more than 2 million customers across 150-plus countries. Its edge is material-led design - Horween leather that develops a patina, Kevlar-reinforced cables, titanium hardware and restrained forms - backed by a two-year warranty and a steady cadence tied to new device releases. Urban Armor Gear acquired Nomad in April 2026 for undisclosed terms, pairing Nomad's premium design and direct-to-consumer strength with UAG's operations and distribution.
