I know it was a Kickstarter project in, oh, June or so, that I'd backed and then decided I didn't need at the time. Looked very nice. Presumably you can Google the company name. Edit: Shazam!

I'm using the same Nokia plate as jsw (though in black) for my Nexus 7. AT&T has both white and black in stock for $24.00 with free shipping.

There really is no "Sprint" version. It's all the same phone. 1 US variant and 1 International version.

Awesome!! Thank you!!!
Having a hard time deciding which phone to keep. The Nexus 5 or the iPhone 5s.
Can't really justify keeping both so one will have to go.
At the moment the money is on dropping the the Nexus. I need to connect my phone to our exchange server at work and a few times the Nexus has stopped retrieving emails for no apparent reason whilst the iPhone is still receiving them. It seems to sort itself out after a couple of reboots but seems a bit unreliable.
Anyone else have the same problem and know of a fix? This is using the standard build in mail app btw.
I'll probably give it a few more days but have already noticed that CEX will buy it for the same price I paid.
I've also got this nasty feeling I'll end up missing the iPhone. I've been here far too many times, the wife thinks I've got a phone "problem"
Decisions...decisions...

So it does work with the Nexus 5? I have been waiting before I jump on one. for 25 bucks thats amazing.
I'm keeping both my 5S and my Nexus 5, I think that will satisfy the sickness for a couple of months. I have a feeling I will end up selling the IP5s, it's so primitive and makes me feel like I'm in 1994, but I'll be damned it Apple doesn't always pull me back in eventually.Having a hard time deciding which phone to keep.

Thank you. A little more then what I'd like to spend but that does look bad ass.
Awesome. Thank you, both. AT&T offers free pick up in store so I'll do that. For $25, I'll pick one up for the home and office.

Anyone have an opinion which one of these is better? The amazon one says it doesn't work with the N4, I wonder why, and if that would affect it working on the N5.

I'd probably sell the 5s now and wait for next years iPhone. Feel like apples going to release something big next year with the 6.
Yeah, I anticipate going back to Apple with the ip6, it's impossible they don't have a larger screen.
But I must say with Kit Kat Google really seems like they are pushing the envelope. I've never been as comfortable with an Android OS as much as KitKat, it's finally getting streamlined and simplified in all the right places. I'm quite curious what Google comes out with next year to combat the IP6 as they must be smart enough to know just how big it's going to be. Google better release something really insane.
At least the Nokia one is confirmed to work with the Nexus 5.

Changing email address on Google account
Forgive the non-Nexus question here, but I don't know where to get the answer. I've googled this to no avail.
I now own a Nexus 5 & 7. I bought them (and the apps on them) using my Google account. That account was registered using an email address that will soon be disabled. I tried editing the account and putting in my newly created gmail address. But I get an error saying that you can't associate a gmail address with this count.
I would prefer to just change the email on the account (to my new gmail address). But if I can't do that, what should I do?
Thanks for any advice.

As long as the charger says it is Qi certified, then it will work with the N4/N5 and N7 (2013 version). I have serveral versions from China (one of mine looks very similar to the link you provided) and it works perfectly. Only issue is, when your phone reaches 100% on the battery it stops charging and won't charge any more. So, don't expect to see 100% in the morning.
Other cheap versions also beep when the phone reaches 100%, then it stops charging until the phone reaches 99%, then it starts charging again with a beep. This will be extremely annoying at night.
No idea how big the Nokia one is, just remember, you have to set the phone on the charger in one spot, otherwise no charging starts.
I downloaded the Lightflow app on the Nexus 5 and set it up so that I get a nice llong fade in and out orange glow on the Nexus 5 LED, just to give me a positive indication that it is charging and continues to charge. Once the phone reaches 95%, I have the LED stop blinking.
Didn't read ahead so someone might have already replied but I just bought the Nokia wireless charger from AT&T for 25 bucks. Works great.
----------
With the Nokia charger I bought that's not a huge issue. It takes the phone at any angle and mostly even if it's off center
I liked lightflow, but it annoyed me to no end that you could not squelch the status bar icon. I'm a huge status bar icon snob and won't use programs which don't let you hide it.
Just a heads up.
Ordered the Nokia wireless charging plate from AT&T.
If you order 1, it's $24.50
If you order 2, you save an additional 10% on each charger
If you order 3, you save an additional 25% on each charger.
Just ordered 3, came out to $59.55 after tax.
That's $19.85 total for each one!
I'll place one my desk at home and at the office, and the third can go in the living room.

No icon in my status bar? I haven't used this app before since this has been a mod in all my ROM's, so based on your comment, I am assuming this app used to have a persistent icon. I don't have one, nor does one show up when I get a notification.
