I've noticed that unboxing videos have different default screen protectors.
Some have screen protectors that have the nexus5 logo on the front, and some don't.

Even though the Spigen case that I ordered is supposed to come with a screen protector, it would be nice for it to come with one without the logo.

So only the white one ships to Canada. I wanted to get one black and one white one but it doesn't look like it's going to happen.

Nice case but due to lack of top and bottom protection i'd skip it.

Check out the diztronic one instead if you're looking for something cheap.

After thinking about it, I'm going to go for the Neohybrid Satin Silver. Thoughts?

That's the same one I'm probably gonna order. Might get the diztronic as well just for the hell of it.

Too bad we can't combine shipping.

:lol

*edit: Actually we could... if we ship to the states and pick up...

!MiKrofT 11-03-2013 08:11 PM

Hmm tempting.. I don't really have time to drive down unfortunately.

I have dropped my phones maybe 3 or 4 times... All have survived with just some scratches on the frame.. Ipad fell off my lap once and it got a big crack in the screen :fuckthatshit:

by dozens i meant total for all phones i've had

but yeah im prone to dropping my phones mainly because i hold it in my hand instead of leave it in my pockets and since ive never had an issue after they've dropped dont see the point in a case

maybe ill grab one of the clear ones

I read one review on Amazon that sad the fit to the Nexus 5 is poor. Has anyone else read any negative reviews on it?

!MiKrofT 11-03-2013 08:43 PM

I'm weary of any reviews for a case for a phone that wasn't publicly available until a few days ago.

This.

I'm not sure how they have reviews for a phone that has just been released.

It was dropped from a chair ._.
cracked screen !!! - xda-developers

SkinnyPupp 11-03-2013 10:29 PM

lol @ the people in that thread questioning the quality because the screen cracked when he dropped it

Glass breaks. Sucks I know, but that's the problem with glass.

It seems like every time a new phone comes out, someone wants to be the first one to take a picture of their cracked screen :fuckthatshit:

Want to trade a 32GB black for a white 32GB?

PHATFLIP_14 11-04-2013 11:54 AM

Just placed my order and joined the N5 group. This is going to be my first NEXUS device, can't wait to get it as I badly need an upgrade from my S2.

For the experienced Nexus users. Sorry for the new question.
Do you guys root the device right away? Or do you just keep it OEM Google for a bit? What apps do you guys grab right away?

Root first
roms will come soon after
but i always say this, familiarize yourself with stock android before loading a rom

Root is easy with nexus devices
takes like 5minutes

CDN$ 14.99 + CDN$ 6.50 shipping ... damn.. should have bought it when it was $7.50
Why does the grey version only come with screen protector and the black hybrid case does not??

JKam 11-04-2013 02:00 PM

wtf.. phone is being shipped from Louisville, KY, United States.

Status is now in transit.
