The creative minds at Nothing, the company behind the innovative Nothing Phones and now the CMF Phone (1), is going a step further in promoting the latter. By releasing detailed documentation of the phone's physical dimensions, it is encouraging DIY-ers to create their own accessories for their latest modular phone.
To foster the spirit of creativity within the Nothing community, the company has gone as far as releasing detailed plans and dimensions, as well as an .stl and .stp file of the basic rear cover. This is a treasure trove for designers and makers, providing everything they need to get started with their creations. For those who are experienced 3D modelers or just starting out, this documentation is a valuable resource.

However, this isn't just about changing the color of your phone. The community is already buzzing with ideas for 3D printed accessories, from ergonomic camera grips to card wallets. Imagine being able to design your own unique phone case, perfectly tailored to your needs and style.
It should be noted that, while Nothing encourages creativity, they clearly state they are not responsible for any compatibility issues or damage caused by unofficial accessories. Furthermore, users create and use such accessories at their own risk.
As a CMF Phone (1) owner myself, I am eagerly waiting the release of some more backplates, either by a third party or official ones by Nothing. For my own use, I envision a CMF Phone (1) with either a clear or translucent back, so the innards of the phone can be seen. It would be similar to having an X-ray skin, only this would be the real thing. So many possibilities.
