I'm pretty sure most skin manufacturers yell you not to use a case with their skins. Posted via RS Mobile |

the review on verge said the earpiece and also speakerphone volume...not a deal breaker for me as long as it has great audio output from headphone jack...which apparently it does.

i know  but i'm OCD like that... | I'm gonna tell you from first hand experience, if you use a skin and a case together, you'll probably end up losing some of the skin when you remove/put on the case.
My gf is using my old nexus s that had ghost armor on it. She put on a case mate pop case and the side trimmings of the ghost armor started peeling off

Let's be honest man, the shield is the best way to go...Adding a case ruins the aesthetics of the phone and the ergonomics of it. A shield will still protect it from the most common damage, scratches. Keep just the shield on, maybe get a pouch or something. I like using neoprene pouches like the one I got with my Nexus One.
Also, I don't use screen protectors anymore; haven't since the Nexus One. The Prime also has an oleophobic screen which is supposed to prevent oils, grease and residue buildup.

Yup I'm gonna stick with just the skin. on my SGS it never peeled off but the dust that built up from it (I just had those back plates with holes all over it) was disgusting

I have one and i don't think its that great personally.. Its pretty chunky and adds to the thickness of the phone. Lint also gets to be an issue, but protection wise, it's great.

I'm kind of confused about what NFC does...
is there ANYTHING right now that we can use with NFC? (other than reading octopus cards)
I take it that RFID is not the same as NFC?

I think NFC can be used to share media as well as pay for things in stores? Although I dont think the store payment feature is supported here yet. Maybe someone else can chime in

NFC can't transfer media. The speed is slower than bluetooth. It's a super short range authentication/basic data transfer method.

the only thing nfc can be used for right now is the android beam function in ics, as miKrofT said can only transfer basic things like web/youtube links. Google wallet will be the next big thing for nfc, though I doubt we'll see it a lot in Canada anytime soon as it takes a lot of time to partner with merchants. There are only a handful of stores that have it integrated right now, and most of them in the states

Personally I dont see the need for LTE speeds. 3.5G is plenty fast for me on the go

I played with the Galaxy Nexus demo at the Aberdeen bell dealer. Its a pretty big phone. ICS feels different than Gingerbread of course. but I didnt notice it to be faster than my SGS2. Overall impression is mehhhhhhh. I'll wait for SGS3. Lots of hardware specs floating around about the SGS3 on the interwebs, none of which is confirmed. But the specs are pretty monster.
