Nothing Phone (4a) Pro Cases, Covers and Screen Protectors

The right accessories for the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro

Finding the perfect phone case is all about understanding how you use your phone. The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro differs significantly from its predecessors by replacing the glass back with a durable metal unibody and introducing a new, advanced camera system. This places new demands on how best to protect the device.

Highlight or complement your Glyph Matrix

The circular Glyph Matrix display on the back – consisting of 137 mini-LEDs – is used for visual notifications, timers and volume indication.

• If you want to make full use of these light features as a secondary screen, then a transparent hybrid case with reinforced silicone edges is by far the best choice. It protects the aluminium back from scratches whilst ensuring the light signals are crystal clear.
• If you prefer a more stylish and subtle look, a frosted cover or an opaque textured cover (for example, with a matt silicone finish) can give the phone a sophisticated feel. Remember to choose models with precise cut-outs if you want to preserve certain light effects.

Protection for metal chassis and periscope camera

Although the recycled aluminium chassis is impact-resistant, metal is susceptible to surface scratches from keys and dirt in your pocket. Furthermore, the advanced 50MP periscope camera is slightly raised and exposed.

• If you often place your phone on hard surfaces, we recommend a robust, shock-absorbing cover with an extra-high rim (known as a lip) around the camera module. For complete peace of mind, a separate tempered glass lens protector is a wise investment that preserves image quality without interfering with the optical zoom.

Wallet case for a smoother everyday life

• If you want to minimise what you carry with you, then a classic wallet case in stylish faux leather is the perfect solution. It protects the bright screen from scratches in your bag and keeps your most important cards and notes in one place. Several of our cases also offer a practical, built-in stand function – indispensable when you want to prop up your phone and watch videos on the impressive 144Hz screen.

Protect the expansive screen

Measuring 6.83 inches and boasting an impressive brightness of up to 5000 nits, the screen is the heart of your Nothing Phone (4a) Pro. A screen protector made from high-quality tempered glass effectively protects against cracks in the event of a fall, without compromising either touch sensitivity or colour vibrancy.

Frequently asked questions about accessories

Does Glyph Matrix work with all types of phone covers?

For the built-in LEDs to light up and indicate notifications fully, you need a cover made from a completely transparent material. If you choose a full-coverage, coloured cover made from, for example, leather or solid silicone, the light from the Glyph panel will be obscured.

Does the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro support wireless charging through the cover?

No, the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro (unlike some more expensive flagship models) does not support wireless charging. However, this is a major advantage when choosing accessories: you can easily use covers fitted with built-in metal plates, or attach magnetic rings for car mounts to the back, without risking interference with any charging coils in the phone.

Can screen protectors cause problems with the under-display fingerprint reader?

No, all our high-quality screen protectors, particularly those made from ultra-thin tempered glass, are designed to be fully compatible with the optical fingerprint reader built into the screen. For the best possible response, we recommend that you re-register your fingerprint after applying your new screen protector. The screen protectors are also ‘case-friendly’, meaning they stop a few millimetres from the edge of the screen so that your case doesn’t push the glass up.
