Wallet case - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
This is kind of a ridiculous question, but it's bothering me (because of the way I am ☺), so here it goes.
You know those wallet cases that close with a magnet?
What's bothering me is that all my life I've heard that magnets mess screens and hard drives up, and things like that.
So are these kind of cases safe?
Sorry about the ridiculous question again.

Hi, yes they are safe. I've been using wallet cases for a few years with no issues...

Just another quick question.
Nexus 5 as a quick cover from LG selling at the play store, these case makes it lock when you close the cover, wouldn't these wallet cases work the same way?

On the nexus there is a magnetic switch up near the vol up key. If the magnet on the LG cover is in the same location it would work.

Straight from the product page on Google Play for the cover...
"Get access to your basic UI without swipe unlock by simply opening the front cover."
So the answer would be yes

let me know if u get it. I want to see if you can see the dot pattern through it.
Ordered I'll review it when it comes in
I've already received shipping confirmation with a teaching number... So far so good
Sexy case. I'm just wary on possible scuffs it may make. Anyway subscribing and awaiting feedback

Very nice case, I'm waiting for your feedback
As it's a low price, I can order another one when there'll be scuff on it.
That's exactly what I was looking for! I ordered two.
I would stay away from any hard plastic cases as it VERY easy to scratch and crack.
I stopped using these cases after my Samsung Behold. I had one on my phone... My phone fell out of my pocket and this case broke off -___-

I have been using hard plastic cases for two years, and so far so good. There are no scratch/scuff marks that I can make out. Of course the user experience will depend heavily on the quality of the plastic, but that's the case for all cases.

Hahaha...don't you just love predictive text? :laugh: Yeah, I actually have my sights set on a unlocked Samsung Nexus I9250 that I found on Amazon. I can always get a Bluetooth keyboard. I know, I know....no discount. It's just that I don't feel like adding the required $30 data plan as I really only browse xda and emails. I have wifi at home so it's not something I need.
It's either that or the Samsung Galaxy Relay...but then I need to add that damn required data plan. Ugh....damn you T-Mobile!!!
The nexus 4 is so nice. It's is far nicer than the sg3 love this phone

Build quality issues?

I've been reading that there may be some build quality issues, with the N5.
One issue is the screen is prone to breaking after a slight drop?
Any comments here regarding this?
Thanks all.

Nope, already been discussed ad nauseam
There are about a thousand threads about this. Just do a quick search.

Take these post with a grain of salt
Things break when you drop them, don't drop it.
I feel like there are a hundred threads asking this question.
Agree most phones will have a cracked screen if dropped.. Depends whether you are willing to get a case or if u like the N5 naked.

The screen is glass, and it behaves accordingly.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It's gorilla glass 3. If it breaks, almost any other phone would have broken as well. I really wouldn't worry about the build quality. It's pretty impressive.
People have to stop making these threads. There is already a 100+ page long thread called "Nexus 5 Defects".

Warranty sticker

Hey all,
does anyone know if the Nexus 5 has some kind of sticker or indicator that states whether the back panel has been opened or not? I mean, if I remove the back panel of my Nexus 5, how will Google know that I've opened it?
Thanks in advanced.
