Glow in the Dark iPhone Case by Nomad

Last year, Nomad — one of our favorite accessory makers for Apple devices — launched an amazing glow-in-the-dark band for the Apple Watch that was just a beautiful as it was functional. Unfortunately, that limited-edition product sold out quickly and hasn’t been restocked on Nomad’s website or anywhere else. But Nomad is back today with a Glow 2.0 Sport Band for the Apple Watch and the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max that, as you can see in the photo below, is a beautiful light green during the day but glows neon-green at night.

Nomad’s Glow 2.0 Sport Case is a variation of the company’s regular Sport case, so it offers the same 8-foot drop protection, anodized aluminum tactile buttons and MagSafe compatibility as the original. The Glow 2.0 Sport Case, however, is more than twice as bright and offers a light, seafoam green appearance during the day before glowing a vibrant neon green at night.

Both the Glow 2.0 Sport Band and case will recharge in the sunlight, with the case glowing a little brighter in direct sun than the band. They’ll also both benefit from periodic “charging” in the dark with bright, natural or artificial light to maintain their best glow effects. As with most luminescent products, you’ll need to avoid prolonged exposure to light, as that can degrade the material over time.

Whether you’re drawn to the practicality or whimsy of these cases, they’re an easy way to add a bit of brightness to your life. Glow-in-the-dark cases are especially helpful when you’re using your phone late at night, such as for taking selfies or searching through a recipe while cooking. They’ll also help you find your iPhone in a bag or on a nightstand without having to fumble around in the dark and risk damaging it.

To help you decide if you want to add a luminescent iPhone case to your collection, we’ve rounded up some of our favorites below. Keep in mind that not all luminescent cases are created equal, so consider the level of protection you need (quick glow to locate your phone on a nightstand vs. extended glow to help you find your phone in a deep pocket) and what color you prefer, as some cases have only a limited color palette. You can find glow-in-the-dark cases at major online retailers, specialty case brands and even some phone carriers. Be sure to check out the product reviews to see what other customers have had to say about their experience with the case and how long the glow has lasted for them.
