Nothing Phone (3) Screen Protectors

We do not publish an unverified figure for the Nothing Phone (3) display. Check the manufacturer's spec sheet, and in any case buy a protector listed for the Nothing Phone (3) by name rather than by measurement — diagonal size alone doesn't guarantee a fit.

Tempered glass is the default choice for the Nothing Phone (3). The default choice. Rigid, glass-clear, absorbs impact by sacrificing itself.

Worth knowing before you buy: can shatter on a hard corner drop; adds noticeable thickness on curved screens.

It can, and this is the most common complaint in this category. The Nothing Phone (3) reads your fingerprint through the display, so anything thick, heavily tinted, or bonded with liquid adhesive can weaken the signal.

Two practical steps: buy a protector whose listing explicitly states fingerprint-sensor compatibility, and re-register your fingerprints after fitting not relying on the ones enrolled against the bare screen. That second step alone fixes most cases.

Somewhere between £8 and £25 covers almost everyone. Under about £8 you're usually buying glass with no oleophobic coating, which looks fine for a week and then smears permanently.

Above £25 you're paying for a warranty, a better applicator, or a speciality finish like privacy or paper-feel. Those are real benefits, but they're refinements. The jump in protection from nothing to a £10 protector is far larger than the jump from £10 to £30.

Usually, if you buy one described as case-friendly. Those stop fractionally short of the screen edge so a case lip can sit over the top without catching and peeling it.

Full-coverage and edge-to-edge designs look better but can foul thicker cases. If you already own the case, fit the protector first, then check the case clips down flush before you commit to a second one.
