Supernote Nomad Canvas Folio and Lamy Safari Pen Review

I recently published an article on the Supernote Nomad unboxing and first impressions. If you have not read that article, you can click the link to read it.

In that article, I mentioned that I purchased the Supernote Canvas Folio and Lamy Safari Pen along with the Nomad.

In this article, I am sharing my unboxing and review of these products.

Nomad Canvas Folio Unboxing and Review

Supernote sells two types of folio covers for Nomad: Vegan Leather and Canvas. I went with the canvas folio, as I love the feel of canvas material in my hands. It also makes the whole package feel more notebook-like.

The Supernote Nomad Canvas Folio is a slim folio, with a grey canvas layer on the outside and a combination of nylon and resin on the inside.

The canvas material gives it a rough texture, so there’s less chance of the device slipping from your hands. The inside features a soft textured finish, which should prevent scratches on the device.

There are two strong magnets at the top and bottom, which securely attach the Nomad to the folio. The magnets are pretty strong, so the Nomad sits perfectly in the folio.

The folio measures 197 mm × 296 mm, slightly larger than the Nomad. This provides a generous lip around the device, helping to protect it in the event of accidental drops.

The folio supports auto sleep and wake functionality, so your device is ready to use as soon as you open the cover.

Overall, I like this folio and am happy with my purchase. It’s slim, it’s light, and it does a good job of protecting the Nomad. I have been using the Supernote Canvas Folio for over a month at the time of publishing, and I can recommend it.

Supernote Lamy Safari Pen Unboxing and Review

Of all the pens Supernote sells, the Lamy Safari is my favorite, even before I purchased it. That’s because I use a regular Lamy Safari pen and have had a great experience.

The Supernote Lamy Safari pen comes in a good-quality box. Inside the box, you see a document warning you not to use the pen with other devices, and the pen itself.

I got the transparent Lamy Safari Pen, which matches the transparent back of my Nomad. The pen looks really cool in person, and I love it.

Opening the cap, you can see the classic Lamy grip structure and the ultra-fine 0.7mm nib. It’s made using Ceramic material, meaning it will never wear out, and you won’t have to spend money on replacement nibs as you do with Apple Pencil or other such pens.

Here’s the Supernote Lamy Safari pen next to my original Lamy Safari pen. As you can see, it looks exactly the same.

The pen delivers 4096 levels of pressure, the same as an Apple Pencil Pro. Writing with the pen feels very natural. It’s like writing with a ballpoint pen on a pad of paper.

Since it’s an EMR-style pen, it also doesn’t require a charge, so one less device you need to worry about charging.

After a month of regular use, I can say that I love this pen and am very happy with it. I mean, what’s not to like? It writes well, offers ergonomic grip, doesn’t require a charge, and looks cool.

Supernote Lamy Safari and Canvas Folio: final thoughts

I am happy with the accessory purchases I made with my Supernote Nomad. I was torn between the Heart of Metal and the Lamy Safari pen, but finally decided on the latter, owing to my good experience with the regular Lamy Safari pen.

If you are looking for a pen and cover for your Supernote Nomad, I can wholeheartedly recommend these two products.
