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.

Edit: And on another note:

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?

Too bad we can't combine shipping.



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

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?

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.

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

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
