Nexus 5

Yeah. I don't know how accurate the article I read was. However it said that the Gorrilla glass becomes scratch resistant but more fragile. To me its because of the super thin bezel.

On a side note, Is anyone using a screen protector? I just installed an ismooth and it looks great but is kind of sticky feeling :/

I like the feel of screen covers. Using swpye gestures without one feels weird to me. I ordered this case off amazon. It's super cheap and still shows off the nexus design (I was gonna get a bumper, but this was so much cheaper I'll try it out first). http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FJJ38HY/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is the same one that I got and the screen protector is crystal clear and FEELS exactly like glass. It is very, very smooth sliding over it with your finger.

I just put on a Spigen Crystal and it's also a little sticky even after cleaning although a little less. Also to note the Spigen only has a cutout for the earpiece and nothing else. I think I'll replace it with a Fosmon when they release theirs. I put a Fosmon on the N7 and quite like it.

I also put the Spigen Neo Hybrid case on it today. It's not bad, super tight fit, maybe a little too tight imo. Definitely not going naked after seeing that drop test though.

Was thinking about a case as well. The Spigen Ultra Hybrid looks nice!

Well I waited on getting the Nokia charger. Now AT&T is out of stock on all except yellow. Debating getting the yellow or paying more money on AMazon. 🙁

I've got an extra unopened black you can have for $20. I ordered an extra from AT&T after I got my Nexus 7 assuming I was gong to get a Nexus 5 but went a different direction (cough, :apple:, cough). If you're interested, PM me with you're PayPal email address and I'll send you a payment request.

Thanks for your generosity! It is appreciated but I bit the bullet and bought the yellow. Atleast I have something that is not black now haha! Again, thank you!

i 100% back up this case. very elegant and shows off the white sexy nexus logo. also protects it when laying the phone screen side down because of a lip.

the screen protector was able to add on with no air buble and no dust stuck under the screen. nobody i show it to even knows i have a screen protector on until i point it out. best 10$ i have EASILY spent.
 
Anyone else's Google Now but working on thier Nexus 5? I keep getting this message.

First time I have seen that. Are you by chance on wifi that may block it?
 
I thought it was mighty quite around the N5 thread. I did not know that Couch got banned, and Strausd is in a timeout.

No, just on my home WiFi. It did this yesterday over my LTE connection too.

Does anyone know a good battery monitoring app for the nexus 5? It seems I have something that is draining the battery, but I have no idea what it is.

None of the battery monitoring apps I have tried seem to work with the N5 yet. Someone said they changed the API to get battery information.

Meh, now that the black 32GB Nexus 5 is shipping in 3-4 weeks I don't know if I should even order now or wait for Amazon? 🙁

That's a bummer deal. I had a similar scenario unfortunately. I ordered 1 minute after they went live and then 2 days later my bank cancelled the purchase because of some new fraud protection thing associated with my account. I had to go back in and reorder and I now have a "leaves the warehouse" date of Nov 27.
