The Spigen case for the Nothing Phone (3) It arrives with a clear proposition: to be the best phone case on the market. How? Very simple: Offering more protection, better grip, and superior material quality compared to the case that includes Nothing in the box and most competing cases.
Protection and design
It's thicker and more durable than the case provided by Nothing, with a fully PVC backing transparent which allows you to show off the phone's design without sacrificing protection. The finishes in the area of buttons and cameras They are more carefully crafted and have a better feel when you press on them.
It offers better access to the Matrix button since the thickness of the case decreases as you approach the button. Furthermore, the The Glyph Matrix screen is also protected., They haven't left it exposed by drilling holes in the case, like the one Nothing provides. As usual, a slight raised edge also protects the screen on flat surfaces.
Grip and comfort
The grip is an improvement over previous Nothing cases, or at least that's my impression. less slippery than the Nothing Phone (2), and the protruding cameras provide additional support, making it easier to hold. The plastic material means that when you place the phone on a table, it remains slightly "anchored" and doesn't slide around as happens with cases like the Arc Pulse.
Technical details and materials
It has hybrid technology It consists of a TPU bumper and a durable polycarbonate (PC) back. The transparency is completely crystal clear: it lets you see all the details of the original design, while the covered buttons offer a natural click response. In addition, it has wide cutouts for cables and accessories.
It's the heaviest case I've tried so far., 36 grams compared to the 19 grams of the Arc Pulse case and the 22 grams of the Nothing case included with the phone.
Points to consider
To nitpick, the protective burr can sometimes hinder gestures such as... Google Circle to Search, because you have to place your finger very close to the edge for it to detect it.
It also presents a slight limp When placed on a flat surface and pressed on the corners, although minimal and less than in cases like the Arc Pulse. So far I haven't found any case that keeps the Nothing Phone (3) steady when touching the screen on a flat surface.
Comparison with the original case
There's no comparison., The Spigen case wins in absolutely every area. Except for the weight. It's more transparent, more resistant, and therefore, will last longer. The standard case includes a dotted pattern on the back (you have to look closely, yes) that reduces clarity and is made of a material more prone to yellowing over time compared to the Spigen case.
UPDATE 19/03/26After more than six months of use, the edges are starting to yellow easily. The back is showing some yellowing, though less so. Nothing serious, but keep in mind that these days, no clear phone case is immune to yellowing at some point.
The best value for money case on the market, without a doubt.
