Just when you thought the Nothing Phone (3) was the oddest device out there, along comes something even wilder – the Arc Pulse case.
In a world where smartphones are starting to look and feel the same, this combo of phone and case dares to stand out in the most unapologetic way.
Gone are the days of eccentric gems like the Nokia 7600 – a teardrop-shaped oddity that looked more like a fashion experiment than a communications tool. Today’s iPhones, Pixels, and Galaxy phones are sleek, minimalist, and powerful – but let’s face it, they’re also pretty boring in the design department.
Enter Nothing. With Carl Pei at the helm, the company has made a name for itself by doing things differently. The Nothing Phone (3) already turns heads with its futuristic transparent aesthetic and Glyph Interface. But slap on the Arc Pulse case, and it looks like a sci-fi prop straight from David Cronenberg’s eXistenZ.
Yes, we’re talking about that movie – the one where weapons are made from bones and cartilage, and instead of firing bullets, they shoot teeth. The Arc Pulse doesn’t actually do any of that, but it sure gives off a similarly bizarre vibe. And somehow, it works.
Functionally, the Arc Pulse is no gimmick. It’s crafted from aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum and features a custom-engineered interior that absorbs impact from drops as high as 3 meters (10 feet). The case hugs the phone with a pressure-fit system – no sticky adhesives, no awkward bulk, just seamless protection. Even better, it doesn’t block any buttons, ports, or the signature Glyph lights.
It’s offered in two clean finishes – Matte Black and Silver – with a special anti-scratch coating to keep it looking sharp. And if you’re ordering now (as of July 18), expect delivery sometime between July 24 and 30.
The Nothing Phone (3) paired with the Arc Pulse case isn’t just a gadget – it’s a conversation starter, a statement piece, and a reminder that weird can be wonderful.
