They are classy, minimal, and functional. The cherry on top is they cost as much or less than your original Apple accessories. Sample this.

As I write this, there is a flat 30% off site-wide sale due to Black Friday.

Makes a great deal even sweeter and gives all the more reason to consider.

So no introductions this time. Let’s dive into the topic straight, shall we?

Presented below are 8 cool non-standard Apple accessories you should take a look at. Just for your easy understanding, I have broadly divided them into 4 different categories.

I have chosen a couple of accessories under each sub-category based on the ability to be true to their functionality, the sheer elegance in design, the uncompromised quality of materials used, the minimalist nature of the product, and the overall cost.

All the information given below is based on what they mentioned on their website. So, let’s begin and look at each one of them without any further delay.

For the accessories I mentioned above, I chose the brand — Nomad.

Before I move on to the question section, wouldn’t it be apt to write a few lines about the brand?

So here it is. Nomad began as a Kickstarter project in 2012 and this is how they chose to introduce themselves.

Nomad is and always will be a company that prioritizes design and quality over everything else.

The mission statement says it all. Read further.

One of the most important aspects when designing new products is that we use the highest quality, long-lasting materials available.

We design all of our concepts from the ground up, rather than white labeling existing products. From the Horween Leather we use for our cases and Apple Watch straps, to the rugged Kevlar® construction of our cables, we choose materials that stand out and outlast. It costs more to do so, but the cost isn’t as important as the value that doing so creates.

They also have a sustainability mission that states

A big part of our mission going forward is to reduce our impact while leading the way towards a more sustainable future.

They have partnered with Climate Neutral to offset 100% of our 2020 carbon emissions. In 2020, they even committed to PrAna’s Responsible Packaging Movement with the goal of reducing and removing the plastic and virgin forest fiber from their packaging materials and shipping supplies.

No wonder their products speak out for themselves and I truly love their accessories. This now brings me to today’s question.
