UNBLACK Nothing Phone 2A Case Review (Model Number: Nothing Phone 2A)
Introduction
The Nothing Phone 2A has quickly become a popular choice, and with that popularity comes a surge in accessory releases. One such accessory is the UNBLACK compatible case, boasting an ultra-slim design and promises of shock and scratch protection. But does it deliver? I’ve been using this Black&Red case for the past few weeks, putting it through its paces to bring you a comprehensive review.
Features
The UNBLACK case is marketed as an ultra-slim, hard plastic case designed to provide both protection and a sleek aesthetic. The claim of “anti-scratch” protection is certainly appealing, and the Black&Red color combination is stylish. The case’s simplicity is one of its selling points – it avoids unnecessary bulk or extra features.

Performance
In terms of protection, the UNBLACK case provides a decent level of scratch resistance. Minor bumps and drops haven’t left any visible marks. However, I wouldn’t rely on it for extreme drop protection. The slim profile makes it feel less bulky than many other cases, which is a significant plus. The fit is snug but not overly tight, making it easy to install and remove. The button covers are responsive, and the cutouts for ports and speakers are precise.
However, the slim design does mean it might offer less impact protection compared to bulkier cases. While it did absorb the impact of a few minor drops onto carpet, I wouldn’t be confident testing its limits with a drop onto harder surfaces. The advertised “shockproof” claim might be a slight exaggeration, but it does better than a naked phone would.
Another minor point is that the case does tend to attract dust and fingerprints quite readily, requiring occasional cleaning.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Slim and lightweight, good scratch protection for everyday use, stylish design, easy to install and remove, accurate port and button cutouts.
- Cons: Limited drop protection, prone to fingerprint smudges, “shockproof” claim might be slightly overstated.
Final Verdict
The UNBLACK case for the Nothing Phone 2A is a decent option if you prioritize a slim and stylish design without sacrificing basic scratch protection. It’s perfect for users who primarily seek protection against everyday wear and tear. However, if significant drop protection is your top priority, you might want to consider a more rugged case. Overall, it offers good value for its price, but manage your expectations regarding its shock absorption capabilities.
My recommendation: For users who value a slim, sleek design and adequate scratch protection, the UNBLACK case is a solid choice. For users who often find themselves in situations that call for superior drop protection, I suggest considering other options on the market.
