Nomad's new Leather Mag Wallet was just released in June. Now, it's on sale for 15% off.
Here at ZDNET, we're no strangers to Nomad's top-notch accessories. The brand makes some of my favorite accessory products, including the Slim Sport Apple Watch Band, the Universal Cable for Apple Watch, the Base One Max charger, the KeyCharge V2, and more.
As ZDNET's MagSafe expert, I've been wondering when we'd see a MagSafe wallet accessory from Nomad. It's truly about time.

Nomad's new Leather Mag Wallet is made of Nomad's preferred Horween leather, and looks great. It's a sleek take on a pretty common MagSafe accessory, but with a premium design. It holds up to four cards at once, and develops a unique patina over time like Nomad's popular leather Apple Watch bands.
But this wallet isn't your average contender. It also features a built-in tracking card, which works with Apple's Find My Bluetooth technology. Hopefully, you'll never lose your wallet again, and you don't have to worry about add-on Bluetooth accessories, like AirTags or tracking cards.

Plus, the wallet offers a five-month battery life once fully charged, and when you are ready to juice up, it's simple. Wirelessly recharge the Mag wallet on any Qi or MagSafe charger.
After unboxing Nomad's new wallet, I was immediately impressed with the finished product. It looks high quality, and you can tell immediately that the real leather is more premium than the Vegan leather or PVU options I've seen on other MagSafe accessories. While not as premium in feel as my cardholder, it's a similar size, which is excellent for those looking for a lightweight, compact option. There's no overhang or bulky appearance with this MagSafe wallet.

There's also a notch at the bottom and a slight notch at the top of the card slot to make accessing cards easier, and it does come in handy. The wallet did fit four cards, though I found it pretty snug when I attempted four cards about the same thickness as a standard debit card (that's when the notch became a nice plus). I was most comfortable with two debit cards and my driver's license in the wallet, though I had space to squeeze in a thin insurance card.
Four standard cards are a tight fit, but it's possible. Since it's leather, it's also likely that this will change over time. Time will also likely give this wallet a gorgeous and unique look thanks to natural patina, as I know from testing Nomad's other leather goods.

The best part of this wallet? Indeed, the built-in tracking card eliminates buying standalone tracking cards or other accessories. It was easy to set up and comes with step-by-step instructions in the box. In short, you activate the Bluetooth, add the Mag wallet to your items in the Find My app, and you're ready.

It populates as "Slim Wallet," but you can name your new wallet whatever you'd like upon setup. And I don't have to worry about batteries, either. Nomad says the wallet will keep a charge for about 5 months, and when you're ready to recharge, you can pop it on any Qi or MagSafe charger. Simple.
ZDNET's key takeaways
If you're looking for a stylish, sleek, and functional MagSafe wallet option, Nomad's Leather Mag Wallet fits the bill. With storage for up to four cards, Find My Bluetooth technology for tracking, easy recharging, and premium Horween leather that patinas over time, this wallet is an affordable-luxury option.
If you're looking for a more rugged construction for your MagSafe wallet and stand accessories, you'll want to look at other MagSafe wallet options. I'd also recommend scouting cheaper alternatives to the Nomad Leather Mag Wallet if you want the leather look for here and there occasions.
I don't think it's worth spending $80 on a wallet if you won't use it. Remember that you're also paying for the integrated Bluetooth tracking, which in most cases becomes a separate, aftermarket expense if you choose a wallet without the feature.
