Are yall able to send MMS (sprint)? I can't send MMS (group texts or pics) via hangouts

No issues sending mms but at the same time I disabled hangouts and use a third party messaging app(textra).  I think most other have switched to third party apps as well.

I am not a fan of screen protectors either because all of them feels weird against my finger tips but gorilla glass or not, it really doesn't take much to scratch the screen.  Every day items like keys coins or whatever random items you may have in your pocket won't scratch your screen.  The number one culprit 99% of the time is some sort of sand/salica(it's everywhere) which will cut through any type of smartphone screen, gorilla glass or not, like a hot knife through butter.  So even though I can't stand screen protectors I now use them all the time.

I've been thinking of using this when I get the Nexus 5 next month.

Mine has been in a Otterbox defender case so nothing touches the screen plus it nothing else is in my front pocket except my phone.  All depends on how you use your phone.

I had to order another case because the heavy duty one negated my wireless charging capabilities.  Ended up buying a yellow bumper case to make this nexus 5 a sprint classic

I have heard good things about those tempered glass screen protectors but personally I think that $25 for any screen protector is too much.  Its funny though, I won't spend no more than $5 to $10 on a screen protector or case but have no problem dropping $600 to $700 on a phone, LOL.

Well you get what you pay for :P

 

If you think about it, spending $25 bucks for a $600 phone is roughly equivalent to 4.5% of what you paid, BUT it will give you back more resell value in the end. 

 

If and when I get the phone and this protector, I'll let you know what's it's like :P

I bought a 3 pack of Obliq zeiss pure crystal screen protectors for my G2 on Amazon for $7 with free two day shipping. I may enjoy the comfort of having protection, but I am also cheap to the core. They are nice, btw, they feel almost like the normal glass screen and went on without any blemishes. Not bad for a couple of bucks.

Have you looked at cruzerlite cases? I got one for the nexus 4 when I had it, then the HTC One, and now my nexus 5 case just came in. TPU type case.

I bought the Obliq zeiss pure oleophobic screen protectors on Amazon for $7 for the G2.  It looks really nice and they seem high quality.

doesn't change much on the nexus 7 or 10

 

Nah it really didn't.  I was hoping to test out ART at least on mine.  Got my N5 sitting on my desk back home, so I'll be one of the groupies soon enough lol.

 

Have to ask... What is everyone's favorite thing about the device if they had to pick one thing?  (After using the device)

For anyone who has experienced the issue where an incoming call while on LTE locks your nexus on the call screen and you can't answer, we are starting to get a response from Google.  Please goto this google products thread and post about your issues.  They have already contacted me about collecting some bug reports.

No bloatware. It is very quick to response, I was shocked to notice a difference from the HTC One, I didn't believe I would notice it. Stock experience.

Not seeing block buster video app, NASCAR and many worthless hard coded apps is priceless
