Nothing has announced a collaboration with accessories maker CASETiFY, but in a way that most would’ve expected. Rather than giving way for its product design language to be parodied as cases for other smartphones, the company has decided to officially do it themselves instead. As revealed by its account on X, newly introduced as part of this collaboration are four limited edition cases for different iPhone models.
It’s a curveball move for sure, but not without an ulterior motive. You see, two of the cases from the four unveiled feature the rear case designs of the Phone (2), therefore allowing you to transform your iPhone into Nothing’s own device. So yeah, it’s a cheeky bit of indirect marketing, but one that will cost customers a significant sum of cash instead – more on that later.
In detail, the visible components which consist of multiple panels in either black or white are actually printed on a clear case. Also present are the Phone (2)’s Glyph interface though unlike the real deal, these don’t actually light up. CASETiFY also notes that this particular design is available for vanilla and Pro variants of the iPhone 12, 13, 14 and 15, and is also MagSafe compatible.
The two other cases, on the other hand, feature an original design that was created by Nothing’s designers. Much like the Phone (2) inspired cases from above, these too feature graphics that are printed on a clear plastic case, have MagSafe compatibility, and are available for iPhone 12 to 15. However, it is worth noting that the black colour option – known as Case (3) – is the only variant that offers a bounce case and, interestingly, is also available for non-iPhone devices including Google Pixel 6 to 7 series as well as Samsung Galaxy S22 and S23 series.
Apart from the cases, also unveiled as part of this collaboration includes a Nothing Ear (2) plus Mini Pouch combo, which is exclusively offered by CASETiFY. The latter is a unique product designed specifically for Nothing’s second generation earbuds, though it does seem large enough to fit in other similarly sized items if you so wish. Meanwhile, the included Ear (2) is only offered in the original white colour option.
All Nothing x CASETiFY limited edition cases are priced US$70 (~RM330), with the exception of the black Case (3) which is priced at US$90 (~RM425). For the Nothing Mini Pouch with Ear (2), this combo is offered exclusively via the accessory maker’s website for US$169 (~RM798). There’s no word on the Malaysian availability for all of the products mentioned at this time.
