I’m sure when Nothing sent prelaunch sample packages to YouTubers they received a bumper case, or at least some of them did? Can anyone confirm?

I’ve always bought the OnePlus “Karbon” cases; the carbon fibre/Kevlar blend that snap on tightly. Very low profile and provide great protection in conjunction with a glass screen protector. Lew’s “Latercase” brand makes them for a lot of devices now. I wouldn’t want a typical one of these for phone (1). Of course, we need to avoid covering the back. But maybe something in between a bumper and a Latercase, something very low profile that primarily protects the corners and leaves the back open.

I ordered the Nothing polycarbonate case because it was the only option, but my expectations are low. It’s not how I want the phone to look at all.

I’d rather a rubber bumper, over the polycarbonate but it’s still not ideal.

I’m also going to feel very dumb if my pre-order comes with a free case, having added one to my order. Especially as I don’t even like the look of it.

    M477 The cases YouTubers have are the same ones that are on sale on the official site. I ordered one and it’s pretty crappy, A real fingerprint magnet & certainly not worth the money.

    FYI there’s a few bumper cases for sale on AliExpress which are reasonably priced and I’m sure will more will follow in the coming weeks ahead.

      This guy appears to be opening Nothing phone 1 bumper case with screen protector but I’ve not seen any “official” bumper case images from Nothing…

      Maybe it’s just a good copy of the packaging style and actually just a third-party accessory?

        There’s one on Amazon too, magnetic that covers front and back … no idea if it’s any good though

        M477 if Nothing is listening, which I’m hoping they are a case with cutouts for the glyph lights would be useful. With two boys and clumsy hands I’m going to need a case, so I’d rather it was as thoughtfully designed as the phone

          M477 Hmm, from the video it certainly does look official, which probably means it’ll be overpriced. I’ll await a 3rd party variant.

            I think that’s just the guide for the screen protector, not a bumper. I’ve had Spigen screen protectors in the past that have similar guides.

                  OneMinusOne oh nooo! I think you’re right! That explains why I’ve been unable to find it anywhere.

                    Just adding to this thread, I recently bought

                    It’s lighter and thinner than the official phone1 case that I received with my phone and I’m really pleased with it.

                    Is it safe to use phone 1 without case cover??

                    How many here don’t use case cover?? please tell.. I don’t want to use case cover but i fear of falling and cracking etc.

                      Anonymous141 Hey mate, I’m a Phone (1) user without a case for the last 6 months, my screen is fairly scratched up but, the rest of the phone is in good condition. I am very careful though.

                      I’d always recommend a case for piece of mind and protecting your shiny asset 🙂
