Our exclusive holiday sales just for 9to5 readers aren’t done just yet, and today we have a big one – 20% off everything at Nomad. While the brand’s short-lived Black Friday sale did offer deeper deals on select items, just about all of the newer releases were at the same 20% we are offering here today with our exclusive code, including its latest batch of absolutely gorgeous leather iPhone 16 cases, all of its Apple Watch bands, and even the brand new Leather Folio for M4 iPad Pro that just released this week. Believe it or not, our code even works on the already marked down previous-generation gear you’ll find in its sale section – that amounts to an insane 90% off on some gear. Simply apply code 9to52024 at checkout to knock an additional 20% off anything you can find on the site.
