White version - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I wanted to go without a case because In love the feel of the phone. Has anyone had issues with the paint peeling or anything weird. My Note 3 had chrome peel off and show black underneath.
I want to keep the phone clean looking but hate cases.

The Nexus 5 is also built out of plastic and glass, and Duarte isn't apologizing for the former. "It's not cheap plastic," he says, pointing out that Google actually machines and lasers it to give it more precise lines after it comes out of its mold. "This is hardcore plastic."
Compared to Samsungs cheap ass plastic

Thank God. I love the feel of the phone without a case. Excellent build quality.
Was just afraid to scratch it up and then it look like crap.

White version here. No case or screen protector since release. Slight dulling of the shiny black corners from going in pockets. Nothing else negative to report.

Thanks for the replies. I have decided to go naked. Love the feel of this phone.

Naked white for 2 months. No problems.

Until you drop it. A very unlucky slip from ~1.5ft smack on the edge of a glass table by someone who is usually VERY careful with his stuff (that would be me).
But I agree, it does have a very nice feel to it. Too bad it's so fragile.

I am planning to buy white nexus 5
Any problems of white getting dirty and not been able to clean??
Until and unless it can be cleaned, getting dirty is fine
Thanks

The risks of going with no case. I've dropped mine in it's case a few times now, at least one of them would've broken it with no protection. There are quite a few posts of people who dropped it and now use a case on their paid replacements.

I was extremely lucky. The damage turned out to be only cosmetic. Rocking a Cruzerlite case now. The great irony in my case (no pun intended) is that my drop happened when I was 'in between' cases. I had just returned one and the new one was to be delivered the next day. **** happens...

I've also had the white one for almost a month now.
I've got two cases: The official Red one (that costs an arm and a leg) but couldn't get on with it. Too stiff, made the phone feel too large and the buttons need a lot of force to activate, I found unlocking the device I needed two hands for in the end.
I ended up buying a second S-Line case, also in red which is less opaque (I can see the branding through the reverse) and my phone feels much nicer in this one. Buttons are easy to use now, and it still feel excellent protected.
I did have a screen-protector for a while, but haven't found one that I like as much as I did on my old Galaxy S3, everything seems too dim with one on.

hey there,
of course you used a case with your nexus 5, but still.... did you have any problem with your white part getting dirty?
also, is the back of the phone smooth or groovy, where the dust just sticks and is hard to wipe off?
Thanks

The white back does not get dirty easily. Its smoother then the black finish and doesn't show fingerprints, the glossy sides can however.

I bought the ballistic BC case and I love it. Except for the screen protector. It got scratched and really blurry and it really ruined the amazing quality of the infuses screen. So I applied a regular screen protector (pack of three from Walmart for 10 bucks) and popped out the built in case protector easily by pushing on the edges and then put the case back on and now I must say that I am back to liking the case. And I am most likley going to dremel off the little Red bar behind the camera because it gives my pictures a red tint to it. I was skeptical at first but now its all good.
(Edit)Does anyone else get this when they take a picture with flash?

so why do you even want a screen protector? The glass is scratch resistant and off course the screen looks so much better without it.

Because scratch resistant doesn't mean it will never get scratched. Even with just light use there are ever so slight scratch marks near the top of my phone.
I have no scratches on my screen. Even after taking a key to it lol. Anyways what i came in here for was to say i had the ballistic case and the proximity sensor part was messing with my phone. Took it back and got a refund. Gonna go back to the otterbox just because of the quality and the ease of using the buttons

get the SC case ive had one for about 2 weeks now and it works perfect no problems with it messing with the sensor or anything its not as big as the HC case it like the perfect size and i think it looks better it dosent have a built in screen protector but no need for it anyway
heres a link where u can buy it for like half the price
http://www.thecellguru.com/Products/32675
I have the same case and I removed the built in protector not long after getting it. It just takes away from the beauty of the screen.
Are there any good ones that don't take away from the luxury of the nice screen?
I have that same case.. I love the belt clip holder. And no. I don't have that problem. And I take a good amount of pictures. I hope that dremel fixes your problems.
And as you said.. those Walmart screen protectors worked fine? There's not any give on the front part that clips in? It seems like there would be more than usual because it is a lot thinner of a protector? (for everyone that doesn't have one it's a fairly sheet thick of pllastic)
And if you are coming here thinking of getting one, I will share my experiences with you. The case is made up of a hard plastic that is a .... well let's just say it's really hard to take off. Not impossible but especially that first time. This makes battery pulls harder. Sometimes you can get around it by killing the phone by holding the power for 6 or so seconds and then hitting the volume keys at the right time but it doesn't always work. The outer layer that comes on the case is nice and bulky. If you think that you will be sticking it in your pocket with this layer you got another thing coming. It's a very sticky plastic which makes it very hard to pull out of a pocket. It works very well with the case holder though. A rather obnoxious thing is there is slits around the base layer that the case slides into. The top two and the bottom two tend to come undone very easily. They always seem to slide out which is annoying. It's doesn't exactly make it feel like the case is going to come off but annoying. The only way that you can keep it in your pocket is if you don't have that layer on which decreases the protection. It feels VERY solid when you have the extra layer on and rather secure when you don't. It's also a little rough on the hands around the edges so if you have soft girly hands then you might want to looks else wards towards a pretty smooth case. But if you are a man and work in something tough or just aren't sure where you will drop it, this is the case for you. (Have never used otterbox..). But that is NOT to say that this case is by any means perfect. I had this problem where it felt like the vibration inside the case was going to rattle the phone to pieces.. that was kind of unnerving but I got used to it after a while. Then when on vacation I hopped onto a hotel bed, my right hip landing on the bed and the hip belt holder BROKE! I wasn't very happy because I was busy and couldn't go to ATT but it would no longer hold my phone. After all these problems I took it back to ATT where they quickly traded out the case for a new one.. I had my receipt of course.. I THINK they used it? Not positive. I have had this new case for 2 or so month have jumped onto my own bed and haven't broken it. It's also worth mentioning that at ATT they mentioned something about a one-time exchange policy. one coworker to another which means I can't break it again within my one year time frame. D: This is a bummer because I went through 3 ipod touches in one year. Let's say I realized just how much water was in my life... And finally if you are still reading this thanks, I didn't mean to make it so lengthy. In conclusion, it's a good case, pricy but protects it well. It's dropped a few times and I haven't really thought twice, because it's "designed to survive life".. just don't jump on a hotel bed.

I agree with you.. it looks better with just the back piece on, but until the bumper comes in stock, that's what it's going to look like..
That looks really nice.

Does it make the screen feel sticky or add a lot of drag ?
Is there any orange peel effect?
Does it negatively impact screen clarity?

i have only had it on for 24 hours and the orange peel effect is minimul compared to other screen protectors i have used.
this is the first screen protector i have used that you can't notice when the screen is on.
as far as cosmetics goes... I saved you guys from buying this and I only picked it out because it looked like it would be a nice fit but obviously turned out to be kind of ugly, I am thinking once the bumpers come back in stock Ill switch to a clear back seeing that the front is really clear so it should look nice.
I have used all the major companies and this is my favorite screen protector so far.
also if anyone needs tips on applying the sides PM me, that was a pita

Thanks so much! I've had a clear Skinomi full body protector sitting on my desk for days. Wasn't sure if I was going to use or our send it back. You inspired me to use it.
I only applied the front and back. I left the sides for a another time if I feel I need to use it.
It's been 12+ hours since application and I have some dents that I can feel every time I swipe my finger across the screen. It's literally smack dab in the middle of my screen and annoying the Hell out of me! :banghead:
I don't like the feel compared to the naked beauty and butter smoothness that it was before so not sure how long I'll be keeping this thing on.
Been trying to find a quality, ultra slim case or pouch but no luck so far. At this point I'll take the official bumper of they'd just get them back in stock...

[REVIEW] Halo Premium Anti-Glare/Matte Screen Protector

Promised to do a review on this screen protector, so paulo this one's for you. Haha. Well I've had this screen protector on for about 4 weeks now, and I absolutely love it. I would definitely recommend it, especially for those on a budget. A $5.95 well spent.
Pros:
Dry application
Precise cut outs
Great touch responsiveness (Swyping with this bad boy is a breeze.)
No fingerprints
No smudges
Better visibility in sunlight
Looks sexy lol
Cons:
Took me 2 out of the 3 protectors to get it on right, or without bubbles. Maybe I'm just not good at that.
Screen quality degradation (This is expected with a anti-glare/matte screen protector. There is some pixelation, which is really noticeable on white backgrounds.)
You can but it HERE.
Pictures that took me forever.

Thanks for the review. I already ordered mine and just wanted to check out some more images of it. Out of curiosity, what case are you using? Also is there a notice gap between the protector and the lip of the case? The first few images make it seem like it, but the rest make the gap appear small.

I'm guessing you are taking about the difference between this picture of the screen protector:
vs
Well there are two reasons.
1. I didn't apply the screen protector perfectly. You can also see the little bubbles created by dust left on the screen. So I took it off, and tried again.
2. Two different cases. I doubt this affects it, however, considering I switch the cases out per week and the gap between the screen protector and the case doesn't increase or shrink.
I have two cases. The white one the Mercury TPU Nexus 4 case(comes in many different colors), and the black one is the Acase Superleggera Pro Hybrid dual layer Nexus 4 case(also comes in different assortments).
I'm also using this screen protector and I love it too,great price ya can't go wrong with these. ????

I bought this screen protector 3 months ago but never used it, as it looks like a hassle to apply if it takes going through most of them to get one that is applied properly. I just kept the stock plastic protector on mine; maybe after that gets destroyed I will give it a try.

its pretty simple just be quick, and i would day do it in the restroom, less dust in the air. always works for me.
I've installed countless screen protectors for me and friends. For the wet ones, you definitely want to be in a steamy bathroom as that helps settle the dusts. The dry ones, need to be done quickly. You can slip a small piece of tape between the screen and the screen protector to grab some of the dust. The stickiness of the tape beats the static force created by the protector. Not sure of its technical name.
My silliest method was to put the phone in the middle, on top of a fan blowing air upwards. That way it created a space where dust will not be. It worked perfectly.

I mean, I guess there is. But to notice the bubbling you would have to nitpicking or looking in with a magnifying glass (not really). I'd say the bubbling on the side is about .25 cm from the edge. Really slight, and with my case on you can't notice it.

Acase Superleggera Pro Dual Layer Case

how dirty does the white nexus 5 gets?

Hey Guys!
Currently I have the nexus 4 which is amazing but I'm going to buy the new nexus 5
in a few days.
I won't take the red because I'm a man.
My dilemma is between the black and the white nexus 5.
The truth is I like more the white nexus 5 looks.
It's way more sexy in my opinion.
The issue is,
I don't want to have a phone which all the time I'd be concerned where I put it
and if the surface is clean enough.
It's a phone!
I don't want to concern about it that much.
I'd really like to hear some feedback from white nexus 5 owners ..
please be real!
Does it gets dirty often if even?
Would you take the black if you could choose all over again?
Waiting for your feedback
all the best!
Viva la nexus

All 3 get as dirty. If you put the white one in mud and the black one in mud, they both get the same amount if bacteria and germs.
The white one may LOOK dirtier, but how can we quantify that?

Not sure they get the same dirt, also if they do it's much more visible on the white.
From what I understand,
The black is some what rubbery plastic and the white is solid plastic.
They have their slight changes like the glossy baseless on the white nexus.
My concern is if the white will look dirty and yellowish even.

Which one you have mate?
I have the white Nexus 5 and i put a case on when i'm at work but when i'm not i take it right off. To answer your question the back doesn't really get dirty if it does i give it a quick wipe with windex and all is good.
My white n5 has been in a diztronic case since I got it (on launch) & if I remove the case, it still looks brand new. I use it daily, & I have no issues. Not sure what you plan to do with your phone, but it should be fine.

Thanks for the answer.
If I'm buying the white I intend the white to show,
Currently I have the nexus 4 with official LG Bumper Case,
Meaning the back is shown.
So ... Dunno yet if i'll get a case or not for the nexus 5
but ... if I will it will probably bumper case style so the back is shown.
Got ya. Maybe get a white dbrand skin & pit it over the white back, that way white still shows & if it get dirty, then it's just the skin? I had the white galaxy nexus & the white nexus4, but those materials you could obviously wipe off dirt. This white is different, so I get the concern.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
More feedback please.
If you go caseless get the black for sure. I got white so it would ship sooner and while it looks great the glossy edges are on the slippery side and not as functional as the true soft touch coating only found on the black.
If it's going in a case white works and you can even show off the back a bit. If I had known the white was missing the soft touch coating I might've waited the extra week. As it stands I use a $2 quicksand case solely for the added grip.
Dirt does not seem to be an issue either way.

I've had my white nexus since launch day. I have a tpu case on it but there is not a scratch on it or a sign of wear and tear. I did have to buy a new case because the original teal one was turning this funky color from my nasty hands. And I would assume it would've translated to the actual phone if I did not have a case. Of course if I did not have a case my phone would be in pieces 7x over.
PS. The red nexus is sweet I wish I had one.

I would of liked the black. Went from the 4 but I buy unlocked phones second hand this was unused but white. It's smooth which is trouble and needs to be in a case but it doesn't mark like I expected when out of one.

The one on the top is 1 week old. The one down, 4.5 months old, used 1 moth without case.
Here to my eyes they look identical.

It's a good thing that picture is so blurry.

Took it with a SGS4 but I did not apply any brightness/exposure/effects/flash/edits to keep it as normal as possible. Otherwise it wouldn't have sense to compare. I Dont have a DSLR

POETIC Affinity Series Premium Clear Thin Case [Amazon]

I received my POETIC Affinity Series Premium Thin Fit case in the mail today. The case was packaged well and was received very shortly after I got my tracking number. I must say the buttons have a good feel to them when pressed using this case. I can feel the bottons and know when they are pressed. This is important to me. It is a lot better than the MoKo clear case I purchased recently. This case provides good protection all around which includes the back, 4 sides and front (small lip to protect the screen). The thin polycarbonate Spigen case I am currently use does not cover the top (headphone jack) or the bottom (the charging port) section of the phone. The 4 corners of this Poetic case has some additional protection from what I can see. It should help against some minor drops. The back is polycarbonate and the sides are TPU.
I also removed the cover a few times and noticed it did not scratch my phone which is awesome. The case can be easily removed if you want to clean the phone. This is important because I have owned other cases where I was scared to remove it. No one should fee this way.
I also slid the phone in and out of my jean pocket without any issues. I have used many different cases in the past and have found some to be very difficult to pull out of your pocket.
There are a two raised lines on the back of the phone which help prevent it from sliding around. I placed it on top of my laptop lid and began to open it. The phone did not slide off which was neat. I assume it will help keep the phone from getting scratched when placed on a rough surface. Ever placed your phone on the ground to tie your shoes?
Overall, I enjoy using this case. I recommend it to anyone who wants extra protection without the bulkiness. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

wondering if I should get this in white or black. I have a graphite nexus so would the black stripes look bad? and I have two clear cases so I'm wondering if I should get another with the frost white. wish someone had photos with the graphite nexus 6p.

I believe I said this in another thread, but couldn't they put their P anywhere else like above the S or below the N?
I got the clear, black one. It's the perfect case with that one blemish mentioned above.
Another review of the black case.
Things I like:
1. The grip on the sides and back while still remaining thin.
2. The black accents on the graphite phone.
3. Button response
4. Cutouts that work
5. Fit finish and build quality.
6. Raised area around the camera
Things I don't like:
1. Too many "tramp stamps". Is there a need for three places of branding.
The "P" on the rear covers the "NEXUS" text. Not cool. The other two I can live with.
2. I would prefer the FP sensor cutout to be smaller.
Overall I like the case and I'll use it as a daily driver for a while.
I have this case with my carbon fiber warp from slickwarp.

Hi guys,
Our production team is working on a new and improved version of the case by raising the "P" so it won't block the beauty of the Nexus brand as well as removing the 'affinity' on the side. Hope that helps. For those who received a case from us - we will be happy to send a new and improved version Please PM us or email us at [email protected]
Cheers!

If we purchased through Amazon should we contact you there or through the email you've provided?
Mine just came in and it looks and feels fantastic. Could do without the extra branding so I'll be contacting Poetic to get the revised version when it is released.
good combo on the frost:good: my main concern is protection as im pretty prone to dropping my phones lol, so could u plz update on how it has held on till now, and how good is it at actually protecting the phone.
Sorry but... these are ugly, inelegant and cheap-looking. Why mar such an elegant, refined device like the 6p with a case for teenagers? Companies really need to move away from selling stuff like this. It looks like a UAG knock-off -- and UAG's are ugly monstrosities.
But, you know, different strokes for different folks. Live and let live and all that. Nice is such a broad term.
I hate to revive a dead thread, but I just wanted to drop my concerns in case anyone decides to buy or try a different case in the future. This case caught my eye since I am rocking the gold 6P. I ordered the clear Affinity case and at first, I was very pleased. After using it for approximately a month, I have noticed my phone wobbles a bit with this case on. Looking at the case on my 6P, I realized that the Affinity is about 1-2 mm taller than the actual phone... like there is a noticeable gap between my phone and the inside of the top of the case. This 1-2mm space is the cause of the case moving somewhat when on my 6P. The price is great for this case, but honestly, I would not recommend this case to anyone. I've also just noticed that the case somehow managed to get the NEXUS wording either burned into the case or somehow imprinted on the case. Maybe I just got a lemon, but this is a horrid case.
