Nexus 5 Accessories

Screen protectors are standard, they work just fine. The Spigen case is great if you're a minimalist. The front edges are raised just slightly, enough that you can put the phone face down on a 100% FLAT AND LEVEL surface without touching the screen. The back of the case ensures that the camera lens doesn't touch when you set the phone down. Case fits very tight, no loose areas at all. Very happy.

Where is the supposed google wireless charging pad? It was announced by TheVerge and Engadget the day the Nexus5 came out: http://www.theverge.com/2013/10/31/5051354/google-launches-new-wireless-charging-pad-for-nexus-5-and-nexus-7

 

I wonder where they got this information because I havent heard anything from Google...

 

Anyways they lost a sale. I just ordered a Nokia one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A3NCBNI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Does anyone know of a true bumper case for this phone where there's absolutely nothing on the back, not even a clear panel, there is simply a bumper around the phone edges? Lots of these for the iPhone but I am not finding one for the Nexus 5.

I ordered that because it was cheap but from the photos it appears to completely cover the back.

I just picked up two of these Nokia DT-900 wireless chargers.  ATT has them on sale for $24.50 and you get 10% off each one if you buy two.  I think the percent off goes up even more if you buy 3.  Free shipping as well.

 

So far it has worked fine.  It isn't picky about placement at all.

I saw this deal the other day, but (being the instant-gratification type of guy that i am) i stopped in my local AT&T store to see if they had these in stock and if they could match the online prince.  The in-store deal they were running was $20 per Nokia wireless charger.  It was supposed to be "with purchase of a Nokia phone", but the manager said he'd sell me 2 for $20 each, so i'm a happy guy.

 

I've never tried wireless charging before, but with the battery life not being as stellar as my Note 2, i decided that having a wireless charger on my desk at work would make a lot of sense, and having one next to my bed would make wrestling the charger away from the phone when i get an early morning phone call or email no longer a problem.  So far i'm very happy with these, and they work with my Nexus 7, too!

 

At $20 per charger, how can you lose?

I picked one up from Amazon for $37 (Next Day w/Prime)and ordered a second one from AT&T on Thursday.  Unfortunately AT&T seems to be going in and out of stock and my order hasn't even shipped yet.  But I have one for my bedside table and it works great and, like you say, does not have picky placement.  Battery is charged to 100% and holds just fine until removed from the charger pad.

    • Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

    • Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.
    • Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.  
    • Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
