Presenting the Nothing Card Clip

Hello folks! This year is my first time joining a community project like this, and I’m excited to share my idea for the Accessory category. It’s inspired by...

KevinTandoori

patrick0 Good question! What I have in mind is to attach the Card Clip to the back of the phone using a combination of bonding materials that are removable, leave no residue, and are widely available in the consumer market. 😎

Simple and very practical! If it does get selected, I hope the product gets to be slim enough to not be intrusive to users with small or tight pockets. Thats a pain point in magsafe wallets.

KevinTandoori

PhoneGeek11 Thank you! Really appreciate that. And yes, totally agree—keeping it slim and low-profile is a big priority for me too. I’ve had the same issue with MagSafe wallets, which is why I plan to design the clip to sit as close to the phone’s surface as possible, with just enough grip to hold one essential card securely. The goal is to keep it sleek, pocket-friendly, and effortless to carry—especially for commuters like us. 🙌

KevinTandoori Any chance that it’s customisable? Let’s say different colours, or perhaps different skins and textures?

KevinTandoori

Mel_E5ubMbr2Ni Great question! I’ve definitely thought about that. It would be brilliant to explore different colours, finishes, or even textures further down the line. While the initial idea focuses on a clean, matte, neutral look to match the Nothing Phone (3a), I’d love to introduce options like textured grip surfaces to make single-handed use more secure (as shown in the mock-up). Customisability could be a really fun way for users to make it their own without compromising the minimalist feel. 👌

KevinTandoori True! All the best!!🥳

KevinTandoori this will definitely be the accessory with CMF 🙂

Crispy_Alex

love this concept! It will actually be so useful, just voted, good luck! 😉

KevinTandoori

Crispy_Alex Thank you so much! That really means a lot, and I truly appreciate the vote and support. Fingers crossed ours make it through together! 🤞😊

KevinTandoori

aniketrege1991 Haha, love that! I’d definitely be open to it if the CMF team ever wanted to make it available to their users too. Would be great to see it bring some everyday convenience to both communities. 😊

This is honestly such a smart idea. Simple, clean, and actually solves a real problem. I’d use this every day on my commute. I hope it gets picked!

KevinTandoori have you shared this idea in the dedicated community forum? I did see a page where users are listing their ideas and sharing their views.

Your accessory can be a multitasker it can be a stand to the phone and at times if it’s rough it can be like a clip to the pocket. Many Indians are facing phone robbery while traveling this can be a perfect way to stop getting robbed. 🙂

Love how practical this is. It blends right in with the phone and just makes sense. Would definitely use it! Even on other devices or my notebook🙂

KevinTandoori

CL60 Thank you so much! I’m glad you think so. Yes, I appreciate you mentioning notebooks. I was hoping the design would feel versatile enough to go beyond just the phone. Maybe even on the fridge, haha🙂

KevinTandoori

aniketrege1991 Thanks so much for the support and ideas! I did post my concept in the Community Edition Project thread, but unfortunately didn’t get much feedback from the crowd there. I’ve actually considered the possibility of expanding it into a multi-functional tool such as a stand or clip-on, but feasibility is one of the key priorities right now. If the Nothing team is interested in exploring that direction, I’d definitely be open to it and would need their help to figure out how to make it work within their production timeline. Appreciate you seeing the potential in it!

KevinTandoori forget the result keep displaying what you got and remember the Fruit of the work we do might be late but that’s not the end rather the fruit we will get would be sweetest and cherish-able.
