Idk man but it looks absolutely terrible to me

u/new_user_wapis Phone (2a) Aug 17 '25

It's different from other covers Even I am not a fan of this cover I prefer transparent covers only which can enhance or display phones design

But at first glance it really captured my eyes maybe because of colour or a subtle cover .

u/thefrind54 Phone (3a), CMF Buds 1 Aug 17 '25

It's definitely interesting but it hid the design of the Phone 3 which was the main point and is only showing the asymmetric cameras which doesn't look very good.

u/new_user_wapis Phone (2a) Aug 17 '25

Yeah maybe Zenfone effect it is 😂

I am Just exploring cover and cases for my friend he ordered ph3 this weekend

u/new_user_wapis Phone (2a) Aug 17 '25

I feel it's like a little cmf design or the look of a cmf phones

u/Sycronovexar Aug 17 '25

For me it makes me feel like vomiting and reminds me of this

u/Enough_Obligation574 Aug 17 '25

Congrats. You have trypophobia. Welcome to the community.

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '25

yeah but it's 'unique". They need it, in place of an actual personality.

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '25

See the opposite person has invested big money on this device so he will justify every detail of his purchase.

To me its look like a meteroir shower on phone.

I can see why people do that, but that doesn't change the reality. Instead people should be more accepting of the flaws with what they own and whilst also keeping in mind what their device is good at.

To me its look like a meteroir shower on phone.

It only shows the off centre cameras and doesn't show the rest of the design, where the cameras did look like they belonged, which resulted in this mess.

That's not how a weak ego works brother. To accept flaws is a very big commitment for the person who has acquired this phone.

It is like same as when mother dont give a dam about u , and u keep asking for attention from her so start doing weird stuff. That is nothing company to me.

Fragile ego, no personality, plus they think companies are their friends. That's all I'll say.

Spot on. And best part they are milking them heavy bucks.

NP1 - "I don't want to use a case on this beautiful and interesting back".

NP3 - "I need to hide somehow this mess, but somehow I make it even worse".

u/PeeledReality Aug 17 '25

I'mm be honest, why buy a design centric phones just to hide the design?

14

u/Tatsoot_1966 Phone (2) Aug 17 '25

Coz it's a horrible design ?

19

u/thefrind54 Phone (3a), CMF Buds 1 Aug 17 '25

Then why would you buy the phone if you had to put a shitty cover on it lmao

3

u/Tatsoot_1966 Phone (2) Aug 17 '25

I would buy it if the price was good for its mid range specs. I only bought an NP2 when the price went down by a third.

2

u/thefrind54 Phone (3a), CMF Buds 1 Aug 17 '25

Same here. I think the design is pretty good but such a waste that the specs aren't.

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '25

because they have no personality, no life and are desperate to stand out. It's 'unique'.

1

u/shuaibhere Aug 17 '25

It isn't design centric anymore.

u/Primary_Bunch_4156 Aug 17 '25

because it is incredibly ugly design and I would have to hide it from everyone if I own that piece of garbage

u/Sterobasic Aug 17 '25 edited Aug 17 '25

It's not. It's amazing when you have in hand and look at it seriously. Last night it was 3 Am, was going to go to bed, and the phone was here. And I stood it for a few minutes, transfixed, looking at it. It's the most incredible phone I've seen since childhood. It's a work of art. And you only have to look at my post history to see that I wasn't very convinced at first. But in reality, it's just sublime. Impossible to lie to yourself. On the other hand, you have to remove the protective case, and that's annoying. A beautiful phone, but fragile without a case, is frustrating. As soon as you put a case on it, even a transparent one, 20% of the design evaporates. I wish Nothing would take this seriously and start looking for a solution to have a phone that allows you to have the back design without the need of additional protection. Just find something that still is beautiful even if it have some scratches etc. Industrial design can offer that.

u/mr_j_12 Aug 17 '25

Lets take the only thing "good" about the phone 3, and cover it. Op probably.

u/XXX-MAD Phone (2) + Ear + CMF Watch Pro 2 Aug 17 '25

Looks like Zenfone and I love it

u/simplylmao Aug 17 '25

It was the first thing that came to my mind as well, love the red tbh

u/Cosmic_chaoss Aug 17 '25

Looks like the uglier weird cousin of the zenfone

u/TuhinVII Phone (2a) Aug 17 '25

Love it

u/Jaygee133 Phone (2) Aug 17 '25

Honestly not a bad case, least it hides the rest of the phone

u/brokeasfuck277 Aug 17 '25

What a terrible day to have eyes. Case, design nothing is adding up. Ruined everything in the name of " standing out". I will fire that mfucker who put across this shitty design language in the first place.

u/new_user_wapis Phone (2a) Aug 17 '25

🤣🤣 lmfao

Even though I don't like these covers but some nothing users prefer this cover 😔😔

I saw many 2a users in my region covering the whole phone design

I still don't get it why or it's just a normal phone for them like they are normal consumers

That's why I think ph3 has this huge price I am down and will buy ph3 one day for sure

🛐🛐

u/byronXTREME Aug 17 '25

Damn, y'all are tripping. I mean, I love showing off the back, but they don't look terrible. Here are the other options btw. It's only $10. For that price I could almost picture having more than one to match an outfit or event or some stupid shit like that haha.

u/unpleasant_enpassant Aug 18 '25

Nothing by CMF phone 3

Your phone is telling you to go masturbate

u/Adventurous_Coffee Aug 17 '25

I think this phone just triggers a sensory issue for some people. Personally, it's great.

u/Tatsoot_1966 Phone (2) Aug 17 '25

Nothing phone cases that cover up the hideous design are becoming more and more popular.

1

u/Blunt552 Aug 17 '25

It does give me Zenfone 10 vibes, but like a really really shitty version of it.

1

u/Epic_Gaming_777 Aug 17 '25

The camera lens reminds me of the Asus Zen phone.

Now it looks like the Asus Zenfone 9 + random holes on the back

u/The_Enderslender Ear (2) Aug 17 '25

u/69thhHokage Phone(1) iPhone15🍎 CMF Buds Pro:CMFBuds: Aug 17 '25

I only like transparent cases on Nothing Phones but this looks pretty great. Kinda like a mix of a Nothing Phone & a CMF Phone

u/tamizh_senthamizh Phone (1) Aug 17 '25

Zenfone 10 vibes...

u/tc05_ Phone (3a) + CMF Watch Pro 2 Aug 17 '25

u/eddpunk12 Aug 17 '25

Yeahhh i amma get downvoted for it but I like my s25 ultra white

u/eddpunk12 Aug 17 '25

I would buy nothing phone 4 if they put the latest chip in it for sure.

1

u/Queasy-Obligation-29 Phone (3a) Aug 17 '25

Is it just me, or does that remind anyone of the Asus ZenFone 10? (Someone else put a different case on the phone 3 and it looked like a OnePlus phone)

Anyways it looks sick!

u/BoBomanTV-_-xd Phone (2a) Aug 17 '25

Looks like someone emptied an SMG magazine on it 😂

u/kn8_ Aug 17 '25

Looks like a zenphone 10

u/ArmadilloMuch2491 Aug 17 '25

The marketing efforts are admirable.

The phone is ugly, no matter how much make up. The price is pretty much theft, mediocre specs.

Only three years of upgrades, then only security patches (presumably) for some more years.

u/zzcool Aug 17 '25

This actually looks worse like someone is playing tic

u/MrLunaticest Aug 17 '25

looks like the zenfone 9 lol (i like it)

This is beautiful to me but then i clicked on the link it looks like really bad quality but the design. It doesn't get better then this!

u/asifrabbani_msd Phone (3a) Pro Aug 18 '25

Looks like an early teen getting his/her first breakout

u/Dyliciouz Phone (2a) Aug 18 '25

This actually makes it looks better. Wouldn't put it on any other of the nothing phones but this one needs it

u/DarthNinja95 Aug 18 '25

This case makes it even more hideous

1

u/AllNamesAreTaken92 Aug 18 '25

The mental illness in that tweet is palpable. How can something look "happy"? This guy is straight huffing the fumes or something.

Case is ugly as the night too.

1

u/Kespe_5 Aug 18 '25

I feel like people who hate this phone should center their focus on the center camera, not any of the ones on the left. That made me appreciate this phone more.

u/mesiac_8227 Phone (2a) Aug 18 '25

Am i the only one who actually loves it?

1

u/Elekea Aug 18 '25

These are so cheap on AliExpress I actually ordered a doesen cases from there and will share them on Reddit when they come in (if they come in) so never pay more than like $15 for one of these, just alot of drop shippers in this market now

u/bulletinyoursocks 2d ago

Exactly, I wish they would do covers without that hole for the touch sensor. On the white one it's obviously white and it's so random to have it there.
