The Nothing Phone 3a may not have the best everything, but it still does have a good display. This year's model uses a 6.77-inch AMOLED panel with a Full HD+ 1080×2392 resolution. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate and a screen-to-body ratio around 87%. That said, it's still a device with glass all-round and you can’t afford to take risks. But you can afford a screen protector. Check out the options above.

Suttkue tempered glass screen protector
$3.99
One of the cheapest full-protection bundles you can get for the Nothing Phone 3a.

Much of the features you already get from other tempered-glass protectors are here, including 9H hardness, anti-fingerprint coating, high clarity, and smooth 2.5D edges.
JETech HD Clear screen protector
$6.99
Spend $7 and get three round-edge protectors with an applicator. Each glass uses 9H-rated tempered glass to withstand metal pressure. It also has high light transmittance properties, so you’re not degrading your phone's contrast or brightness with every use.
ShinKin privacy screen protector
$10.99
Keep snoops from peeking into your business from side angles. The privacy filter on these protectors narrows visibility while preserving fingerprint sensitivity and clarity. Plus, the glass fragments remain attached to the film instead of scattering when it breaks. You don't want loose shards from scratching your actual display or slipping into the phone’s frame.
TMahhbid hydrogel screen protector
$6.99
Glass is protective, but glass is also heavy and tends to crack under pressure. This hydrogel film protector is much lighter and absorbs impact without leaving permanent cracks. Minor scratches smooth out on their own because the material has a slow-rebound surface. It naturally closes up small dents.

A good case is a must-have too
Your display isn’t the only thing at risk. With glass on the front and back of the Nothing Phone 3a, a screen protector should be paired with a quality phone case. Protect the points of impact first. Most drops land on a corner or an edge, and not directly on the flat display. So, target cases with corner cushioning.
If your phone tends to slip off smooth tables or fall out of your pocket, look for a case with more grip. The Phone 3a has a smooth glass back, which means it has very low friction on polished tables and similar surfaces. Even vibrations can make it move. A case with a textured or rubberized finish increases friction, so the phone stays wherever you put it.
