I might actually use the template and print out a design to cover up the marks..it looks really bad
maybe less obvious with a white back cover

I am temporarily using a Cruzerlite TPU case for now, as I am waiting for my Diztronic and Spigen cases. I picked up the Nokia wireless charger and so far it's pretty good. I agree, I don't think I can go back to via wire charging.

Is there a way to utilize the full screen when playing games? Seems like a waste of real estate for the buttons.

Based on pure numbers, it seems about right as the Google averages around 700mA while the Nokia around 500mA.

has anyone RMA'd their nexus 5?
realized i had a micro scratch on my screen and talked to google and was able to RMA my phone due to my power buttons ratting from the haptic feedback
went on the XDA forums and seems like the RMA'd phones are very prone to more defects sigh | |

Previous one's speaker died after 2 weeks of use. New one is perfect except vibration/haptic is MUCH louder and not as "firm". Total luck of the draw but many people on xda are complaining of dust and dead pixels with replacement units.
At least replacements are all brand new according to Google when I spoke to them. No refurb'd units yet.

Just updated to 4.4.1.
Wow.
System sounds are MUCH louder now and don't distort when you jack up the volume. Also echo/reverb a bit kind of like in iOS 7. Huge improvement.
My vibrate/haptic also feels different now and is not as crazy as before.
Camera app loads faster and shot to shot time is improved. Haven't tested image quality yet.
Solid update so far though.

I haven't noticed any dead pixels on mine, and I'm not about to go looking for one. If I don't notice it then it doesn't matter

Hmm it seems you guys are having a lot of issue with RMA's. Was thinking of picking one up as I will traveling to China/HK and wanted a cheap phone that I can use, now I feel I should just get the moto G instead........
