UPS is garbage.. lmao.

Seriously... and you gotta pay like 20$ for the shipping

SkinnyPupp · 11-08-2013, 04:33 PM

This is the most hype I've seen for a non apple phone

!MiKrofT · 11-08-2013, 04:39 PM

Still waiting for mine. Hope mine makes it before the 7pm UPS quitting time.

The Ringke Fusion or whatever seemed promising, but the Amazon reviews aren't looking good.

Is there a consensus yet on which cases are the best? Looking for a simple looking case with good all-around protection that is relatively slim.

i think every " new " phone receives this sorta hype

i rmb the nexus 4 thread started off with a buncha eager beavers counting down their shipment arrival date as well

!Yaminashi · 11-08-2013, 05:33 PM

I think the biggest hype I remember was the Galaxy S2. At least on these forums..

BRB going over to your house.

Tim Budong · 11-08-2013, 06:46 PM

and heres the first boot

areyounoob · 11-08-2013, 07:43 PM

Do you guys care if your cases have a ding on them?
Edit: It seems that all Ultra Hybrids have the ding on the bottom left corner.. probably from the mold.

!MiKrofT · 11-08-2013, 08:12 PM

Just got mine at like 640pm lol. Cutting it close. Just checked mine and don't see any cosmetic issues.

I called UPS as well. They said that the sender (google) had ordered that UPS try to deliver at least once before the customer can attempt a manual pickup. So it seems nothing for us until Tuesday for sure. Lame. Wanted to set it up over long weekend.

If you read the reviews, it's a bunch of butthurt RFDers that didn't the price that was listed due to an error and not an actual product review.

But that's Spigen Fusion... Ringke Slim is another but I don't think they have bad reviews..

Tim Budong · 11-08-2013, 09:26 PM

RFD is a pain to read..too many butthurt members..

anyways...found something neat, these photojojo lenses... google them

Got back into Richmond around 2pm, sat at home for 10 minutes and UPS showed up with my phone.

Any fantastic apps you guys are using? I've been in the Android ecosystem for a while now but I hate trying out tons of new apps..

i've used those years ago they're fun to play with (a real novelty item) but they get lost really really easily and the magnetic strip also has a sticky backing which gets dirty really really quick

FerrariEnzo · 11-08-2013, 09:39 PM

should have added that..the video shows that the add on can work without hte magnetic backing..as the ring itself is magnetic

anyways..I cannot stand the Google stock launcher
I tried to love it.. because I love the transparent status bars(always been using that on my N4) sadly, it doesn't cut it

I dont speak to my phone anyways haha

can't wait for more stable custom roms

oh right yeah i could do that with my 808 pureview as well but the magnetic hold is really weak on my 808 without the strip so the lenses fall off easily

Like i said though the accessories are great to play with just don't set your hopes high is all

essel · 11-08-2013, 11:39 PM

if anyone is selling their black 16gb or 32gb nexus 5 at cost, please PM me!

jlo mein · 11-08-2013, 11:47 PM

Anyone have a Qi wireless charger? I'm looking at $20-30 ones off Amazon. Would prefer one with no audio noises and very dim LED indicators.

I figure wireless charging is a great idea since all devices I have that use USB or microUSB have developed poor connectors that constantly disconnect when nudged.
