*** Nexus 5 THE Official Thread ***

[_Jimlad_]

Battery is good for me. All phones are much the same tbh, clearly a swappable battery will suit some.

Phone lasts me a day really, if that with heavy usage

I dropped my N5 - what's a ballpark figure for replacement parts and labour, £100?

 

[Skeeter]

Screen, shell, or both damaged?

 

[Muffin`]

Screen only

Anyone use one of the 'Glass' screen protectors on the N5?

 

[Swarfega]

Read back a few posts. Someone replaced their screen easily they said

I do, I use a Spigen oilephobic nano glass one, stupidly expensive but they are brilliant, best screen protector I've ever used.

I paid 98p for two protectors from some jungle type site "TUFFskinz Premium Quality Screen Protector". Gone up now but still nice.

Cheers - Used on on the iPhone and they are superb, just wanted user opinions on the N5

Will NEVER go back to a 'plastic' protector after using a glass one.

Just an insult to the craft of the phone to stick a cheap bit of plastic over it. Ever wondered why the phone makers don't supply them ? Get a case or insurance.

You don't walk around with a condom on

Speak for yourself!!!

But agree on the Plastic.

I dont use cases, but do want to protect the screen hence the glass protector Question

Wireless charging seems really cool.. I think I've screwed up my usb jack on my HTC One S from charging it and bending it. :\

Lol at the advanced task manager

Regarding cases, I have never bought a case for any other phone and have never damaged a phone by dropping it. I came close to dropping that dam slippy HTC one in the street a few times.

I watched a video where someone threw their nexus 5 about with a case on which got zero damage and one where it had no case and was basically mangled after one drop.

It scared me lol, I did buy a spigen ultra hybrid and it is a very good case but the phone just doesn't feel as awesome anymore and the feel of the phone is one of it's best assets.

Sometimes I use the case sometimes I don't.

OMG, I just realised my phone case was in my dream last night... It was like... Full of sand!

What's wrong with it?

Task managers are pointless.

Might buy it back, Fox said he'd have it off me.
