5 Best Nothing Phone (2) Cases That Are Worth Buying
Let that glyph interface on your Nothing Phone (2) bling even through a cover.
Nothing Phone (2) comes with a design that has drawn significant changes in how we perceive a phone. Nothing has broken boundaries to deliver a unique user experience to mobile users.
The brand has taken the telecom industry by storm with back-to-back hits.
Phone (1) by Nothing is still a remarkable product. Users around the globe came together to cherish its design and how snappy the device is.
Having such a huge success with the first-ever product, Nothing established a dominant image in the market, and Carl Pei could not sit back relaxing.
The former co-founder of OnePlus is back with a new device in the market. And yes the lights on the backside are still there with a ton of new features and add-ons.
The current situation of Nothing Phone (2)
Nothing emanates innovation. The customers perceive the brand as a revivalist of the mobile phone market as it has been unveiling features that are expected to shape the future of the telecom industry.
Almost, a year after the release of its predecessor, Nothing Phone (1). The Nothing Phone (2) launched in India on 11th July 2023 at a hefty amount of ₹44,999 or $550.
Both the devices launched with cutting-edge features at alluring prices, especially the Phone (1) was a steal deal.
However, the sudden surge in the price of Nothing Phone (2) as compared to Phone (1) obstructed some users from having their hands on the device. Yet, the innovation it drew with itself made users push their budgets.
While Phone (1) has 6 strips of LED light on the rear, its successor Phone (2) sports 5 more strips making a total of 11 strips of LED light which is a pivotal point in cracking the deal.
Let’s agree to it. We all love attention. And with Nothing Phone (2) you’ve got it all.
With new features such as Glyph Composer where you can customize the lights on the rear and make it blink as per your ringtone, there’s also a Glyph Timer telling you how long your Uber and Zomato (only for Indian users) delivery is going to take.
But, Nothing has made the device quite delicate.
Even though the device armours Gorilla Glass which is a modern-day standard for mobile phones. Yet, there are chances that you may get it broken due to its slippery nature.
One of the users of Nothing Phone (2) reported, that the glass on the back of the device broke as it fell from just a height of 2.5 feet of a table.
Also, Nothing has shaped the edges a bit curved for a better feel and handling. However, it has also increased the chances of the device slipping out, especially if you have sweaty or wet hands.
In simple words, your device needs some good shelter from physical harm.
Here are 5 best cases for your Nothing Phone (2) which will not just keep it away from damage but also maintain the feel of the device and its aesthetics.
#5: Ringke Nothing Phone (2) Back Case | Fusion X Smoke Black/Clear
Ringke offers two colour options for your Nothing Phone (2), Smoke Black and Clear. It has got extra protection on the edges as well so you don’t need to worry about much for your device.
The reinforced cushioning on the sides can stand against drops, collisions and hits without any budge.
The cover has got enough height on the front. So even if you place it flat on the table and have that Flip to Glyph feature turned on. The buttons are quite clicky and tactile offering you a responsive user experience.
Price: ₹1,499 or $18.09
Buy: Smoke Black/Clear
#4: Kapaver Nothing Phone (2) Back Case
Kapaver sells a spectrum of back-cases for a ton of gadgets, including Nothing Phones. Black, Smoke Black, and Gray are a few of the prominent colours that can give your device a new look.
However, the cases are not transparent. The case is enveloped on all four sides by Thermoplastic Polyurethane. The TPU covering around the camera module gives your camera lens a good supplementary guard against scratches, smears and smudges. So your photos are clear and sharp.
The back is built using PolyCarbonate offering a clear view of the Glyph Interface and the internal components. There are also Neodymium Magnets on the back, so you can use wireless charging and reverse charging while the cover is on.
Price: ₹799 or $10
Buy: Black/Smoke Black/Gray
#3: DailyObjects Clear Case Cover for Nothing Phone (2)
DailyObjects produces excellent accessories for your gadgets. The brand does not just provide basic accessories. But also sells bags, wallets, organizers, stationery, drinkware, and much more.
As of now, only the transparent/clear case is available in stock.
Still, the price at which it is being sold gives a minimal look to your device and delivers enough protection against scratches and falls. The case is fabricated using TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) supplying sufficient cushioning.
The downside of the case is that it will eventually turn yellow with time. But, DailyObjects suggest avoiding exposure to Ultra-Violet rays to retard the pace of yellowing.
Price: ₹499 or $6
Buy: Clear case
#2: Nothing’s Official Case for Nothing Phone (2)
If you want the best fit. Then you need to get the official case from Nothing for the Phone (2).
But to the dismay, Nothing solely produces transparent cases currently. The case is put together using Thermoplastic Polyurethane and Polycarbonate offering optimal performance to your device by dissipating heat throughout the surface, keeping things cool especially when you are gaming or charging.
The case is also lightweight weighing just 30 grams which is helpful for long duration of usage. The speaker, charging port, and mic cut-outs are exact.
So, you won’t be having any trouble plugging in the device to charge, listening music, or attending phone calls.
I, myself use the official case and I can confirm that it turns yellow over time.
But, Nothing has added some quality materials to design the cover to delay yellowing. It has been more than six months and the case is still fine.
There’s some yellowness on the sides, especially the button areas. It is sturdy and offers great protection against bumps. But, the amount of spend for the case is a huge snag.
If you check Nothing’s website, the case is listed for ₹1,200 or $14.50 which is quite expensive for a transparent case.
Nevertheless, the official case is also available on Flipkart for ₹499 or $6, which is a deal-breaker.
Price: ₹499 or $14.50

#1: Spigen’s Nothing Phone (2) Series Case Collection
If you are into mobile accessories, then you must have already heard about Spigen before. Spigen offers durable, tough, and rigid accessories for your devices.
Some of the products are up to military-grade certifications. For Nothing Phone (2), Spigen has only designed two cases to avoid confusion.
Both cases follow the “Mil-grade certified with Air Cushion Technology”, thus offering your Nothing Phone (2) with ideal shield from natural wear and tear.
The Ultra Hybrid and the Ultra Hybrid Zero One. Both cases are seamless. The former one offers a clear and transparent look from the back, having no compromises in protection.
While the sides are kind of greyish to match the device colour (if you have the grey version, it camouflages).
Charging your phone while putting on the cover is hassle-free. The whole body is crafted using Polycarbonate. Also, the edges are a bit curved to match the back of the device offering an accurate fit.
Ultra Hybrid is only available in one colour, Space Crystal.
On the other side, Ultra Hybrid Zero One replaces the transparent back with a hard film, showcasing the internal components of the phone. Don’t worry there are cutouts for the Glyph light.
In my view, Ultra Hybrid Zero One improves the look and feel of the device.
Price: ₹2,899 or $34.99 (Ultra Hybrid) and ₹3,299 or $39.99 (Ultra Hybrid Zero One)
Buy: Ultra Hybrid/Ultra Hybrid Zero One
TL; DR (Too Long; Didn’t Read)
Conclusion
So, these were the best cases that you need to look out for to provide your new Nothing Phone (2) safety while having no trade-off with looks. Every case I mentioned has exceptional quality but, there are slight differences in the material used and design. Nevertheless, if you are price-sensitive then you can go for Kapaver which delivers great value and quality at a reasonable amount.
