If I run magnet over my Nexus 5, I can unlock the screen exactly like I can if I run it over my nexus 7 2013. Is that a feature ? I don't see any flip cover doing anything about it, although the hall effect sensor is listed in its sensors.

Those cases do exist, I saw one the other day. I forgot if it was on Ebay or Amazon but the screen would auto on/off when you flip the case. Its not an official case though. Ill see if I could find it again

The one.... You know.... From Google.... You didn't look very hard did you.
Yes, the official Google Quick Flip cover for the Nexus 5 ( https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=lg_nexus_5_case_black these, for those who are confused) does have a magnet inside. It unlocks/locks the phone when opened/closed.
I use a tetded flipcase with a magnet inside the cover. Just to clarify that: The magnet will not unlock the phone. The magnet turns the display on and off.

Mine will arrive Wednesday.

Anybody know what the case shown in this video here is, or where to get it?

At 0.06 when he opens it up you can see 'D3O' on the inside of the cover.
That is a nice case.

That looks amazing! I always missed my blackberry for auto turning on/off when you put it in/out of the holster. I thought that was some sort of patented hardware feature because nothing other than the ipad smart cover does anything similar. Want this case badly! Anyone know where to buy?
Nexus 7 has magnetic sleep/wake, but I have run magnets all over the Nexus 4 and have not found a spot where it sleeps so I don't know how this is working in this video.
Perhaps they are using an app that is using the proximity sensor?
Possible leak of a Tech21 Impact Snap w/ Cover? Seems like it to me. Check out videos for the SGS3 and iphone 5, very similar.
If a D30 case comes out for the N4, I will most likely snag one. That seems like a pretty nifty case. It seems that he may be using an app that uses the phone's proximity sensor to turn the phone on and off when it's covered. I used to use that app when I had the N1 and HD2. It works like a charm, but uses a lot of battery.
That's a nice case. Been looking for a clean looking flip case myself.
I'm very interested in this. It's the only kind of case that intrigues me at all.
I'm guessing it's the d3o case for the gs3. It fits, but the button placement is a touch off, and you have 2 extra holes on the back.

Can't insert links !! Just Google This code "ACQ86231201"
I wish somebody would just make a plastic back cover. It would be much more durable.

I agree that you should spend the extra $30 and get a complete unit but to answer your question the first one is the back cover and the second one looks to be just the glass that would sit inside the frame.

Yeah I'm surprised this hasn't come about, though I assume it's because of the complexity inherent in swapping the back.
Does the N5 come with a basic, from-factory film to protect the screen? If so, does it have random markings on it like the N4 did (example: volume). I would like to keep it on as long as possible before 3rd party screen protectors come on, but have yet to find any legitimate protectors yet.
It has nexus 5 right across the middle of it

Says "nexus5" on it, right in the middle, but it's fine to keep on till you get your screen protector. I've left my own on, don't even have a Sim in there though so not even using it!! it's just sitting here.
Never used a screen protector on my phones. Main issue is dropping the phone and cracking the screen.

Does Google collude with the screen protector industry for this?!
UGH. I know it has G3 glass, but I don't trust anything! Better safe than sorry.
Dang. I was banking on a basic screen protector on there. Phone will be here tomorrow. Case Wednesday. Guess I could cut up my extra tablet protector...

Someone could definetly tell me if the magnet of some flip covers is dangerous for my nexus 5?
They're designed for it. That's why it has "hall effect" so magnets can turn screen on and off.
Also big ring round camera is magnetised....

so i can safely buy one of this??http://www.ebay.it/itm/Custodia-Cov...ari_Cover_Custodie&hash=item27dc32f629&_uhb=1 thanks a lot...
another question: the portable charger what voltage must have for nexus 5?
Hello,
Typically I just use my phones in the nude, but with my oneplus one I did enjoy occasionally using the OEM folio case in orange. I really do like my 6p, but its about the slipperiest thing I own (opo ruined me with that grippy housing) and it feels delicate. Does anyone know of a folio style case that can also reinforce the phones structure(so I can finally stick it in my pocket without worrying about bending)?
This is what I had for my opo

I'd be interested in this too, if it isn't too thick.
Google do sell an official folio case BUT I've heard many horror stories about it being far too tight on the phone and extremely difficult to remove, to the point of breaking the phone.

Does this case have a magnet to keep the flap closed? And does it put the phone to sleep or wake it up?
This is on my short list. I had seen it on Amazon
Unfortunately no to both of those. No magenta to keep it closed ( hate that). And nothing to put it to sleep. Wish it did have that tho. But I mostly care about keeping the screen protected and I hate face grease so lol

The valkyrie does have magnets to keep it closed BUT no magnet for wakeup/sleep function. The phone easily snaps into a tpu case that is sandwiched between a wrap-around cover, like a book, which gives it protection from both sides.
But I ultimately sent the valkyrie back because there are no holes for the front speakers/mics (the mics are in the speaker pits). This means you have to keep the cover opened to talk. And I just learned recently that if you try to be clever and flip the cover to the back, it will cover the rear-mic and that messes up the noise cancellation and makes you sound muffled. So you now have to talk on the phone holding it like an opened book.
I was seriously considering drilling speaker/mic holes and splicing in a magnet into the cover. But then I found this from tetded. It has a magnet for sleep/wakeup and speaker/mic holds. BUT no magnet to keep it closed and the cover doesn't extend to the back so the back is not as protected as the front. It also costs more since it's real leather.
I bought mine directly from the tetded site and it will ship from hong kong. They have other models for the 6p and some even come with a nice clasp to keep the cover closed, but no speaker/mic holes (why!!?)
