If you look at this picture you can tell all the "imprecisions" are just shadows and depth. Isn't it kind of weird all of the errors are in the top right corners of each line? It's almost like the light is coming from the left. I wonder what that bright spot on the top left corner is. Someone doesn't know how to analyze pictures.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
I'll get you even more pics tomorrow :good:

Compare the white leather I posted to the black carbon fiber, clearly the same angle however the white leather has less imperfections.

Also this is a photobooth they shoot in, light comes in from every angle.

I give you credit for trying to talk **** but next time know what you're talking about before you try to insult others :laugh:

Just curious ...

Why did you guys decided not to includes coverage for the bezel(s) ??

looks kinda out of place ( naked)... except, if you get black..etc

the rest look amazing though ! :good:

Matte White Xgear Skin on Black N5.

Back-Skin only :)

Oh wow! Looks great! Damn... I should of also ordered the matte white while the sale was on.

Still loving the Bubinga Wood cover on my Nexus 5. It is a great match for the wood grain in the console and dash of my Chrysler 300 and it just blends right in when I have it in the cd slot mount there. I am in the process of getting the parts together to build 2 of the wood qi chargers here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2545350 and I ordered Bubinga wood to craft them from. I am excited to see how it all looks when done. One for home and one for work.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Mikeonic:
I bought skins. Regret it. Waste of my money because I fell in love with the white back...sigh. Maybe once it starts to get dirtier I'll cover it up. But for now. Its as sexy as it can be with its original white back
[Nexus 5 Accessories] FuMMoD:
Damn it, I should have bought a white matte one while it was on sale too!

[Nexus 5 Accessories] icarianecho:
I received the Bubinga Wood skin in the mail yesterday after placing an order because of the sale last week, applied it, and waited 24+ hours to get a more accurate impression.

Overall, I'm pleased with the product. The quick hits:

Positives

The skin looks fantastic, especially the back piece.

The 3M vinyl is clearly high quality.

Installation was easy and clear-cut (especially after viewing PMoradi's video. Thanks!)

Less Positives

Skin feels rather slick. Since this is my first vinyl skin, I may sound ridiculous here, but I was hoping for a bit of a softer texture. I guess the first few days with the OG N5 back started to spoil me! (At first, I was more worried about dropping the phone than I had been before applying the skin. However, as the day wore on, I grew increasingly used to the feel of the skin and am no longer as bothered).

The edges of the skin feel more pronounced than they look when handling the phone (not a design criticism because I'm not sure how one would eliminate this aspect of a skin, but there nonetheless).

The edges also pick up pocket lint like a mofo (but the skin itself definitely does not).

My cutouts were not precise in several places. I can post pictures later, but I was unable to properly align both the "nexus" on the back and the camera lens simultaneously. More bothersome, the corner pieces were not cut to accurately line up with each other. In two places I actually had to use scissors to eliminate overlap that I could not otherwise resolve.These corner pieces were also of slightly different widths in relation to one another, leading to gaps showing parts of the phone's side and a sub-par effect.

Overall

Again, the skin looks fantastic and I am definitely satisfied with the quality of the material. However, there are a few imperfections in the cut of the skin that I received. While some of the issues may certainly be the result of operator error (though I was patient and attentive), all cannot be explained away as the user's (my!) fault.

I would purchase the skin again at the sale price, but would be hesitant to purchase one full price because of the imperfections.

Thanks

I'd like to thank PM again for his awesome product demos and everyone else in the thread for sharing their experiences.

Got mine yesterday and installed the Matte green. The back didn't really apply perfectly the corners still show a line of white from my regular nexus 5 back. I used a heat gun on it to try to stretch it all the way down and nothing. Besides the white corners the rest of the fitting was pretty much on point. The front was really good too but i had to take them off to put a screen protector.

Edit: Whats the best way to remove fingerprint grease off the skin?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jonneepuh:
I haven't received mine yet. Although I ordered it on the first day of the sale. I've contacted customer service a few times. My tracking info on USPS only says "Electronic information received" which is making me think it hasn't shipped and probably got lost between packing and actually being sent out. Hopefully they will send another one that I will actually get since it seems to be lost in transit. Anyways, I can't wait to see what the white CF skin looks like. Anyone have pics?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
XGear doesn't know I'm on here doing this, it's mostly purely personal :highfive:

Yes please post pictures so that I could see what the issue is, send us in a message through support as well so that we can get a replacement to you :fingers-crossed:

Shoot an email to support as well :D

The Matte colors are grease magnets, the best way to avoid them is to prevent them from the first place. Keep your hands clean when handling the phone, etc...

I usually just wipe my skin on my shirt and it cleans the grease off, if it's more severe than that then you'll most likely need to use a simple cleaner such as Windex.

I actually put up a Shipping FAQ this morning-

SHIIPING FAQ's

My Tracking Information Says “Delivery status information is not available for your item via this web site. A return receipt after mailing may be available through your local Post Office.”

-Don’t worry…this is normal! USPS is still updating the tracking information. Just wait a little bit longer and the tracking will begin to update.

My package tracking says my order is delivered but it has not arrived!

-Unfortunately we don’t know where your package is either : ( If you have the tracking information, we definitely sent it out! Make sure you check every possible place your mailman could have left your package. The mailbox, front door, back door, your roommates, etc. If you still have not found your package, it’s possible your mailman made a mistake and marked the package as delivered by accident. Sometimes they also mark your package a little too early as delivered when they are still in the process of bringing it to you. If your packed has definitely not been received, please give your local post office a call and they may be able to find your missing package or let you know what happened. If the post office can determine that your package is indeed lost, send in a customer service ticket and we will help you out from there.

Where is my package?! My package tracking has not updated or has been stuck in the same place for a while.

-This happens sometimes. On occasion, the post office does not update the tracking in a timely manner but your package is still on its way to you. If it is past your scheduled delivery date, call your post office and they may be able to locate your package and get it on its way to you. Check your order confirmation email as well to double check that the shipping address is correct. If the post office determines that your package is lost or being sent back to us for any reason, send us a customer service ticket and we will make sure your package gets to you!

Why the heck are the delivery charges for the Fine Wood Teak like 9,45$ for international (you see http://www.ebay.de/itm/221312566440?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649) but every other cost like $6,55 for example the Wood Grain Bubinga (http://www.ebay.de/itm/221312568936?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649) !?

It was so obvious that the skin i want to buy is more expensive then every other lol

Replied to your PM

Shipping weight was at 3oz, when it is really 2oz so it was charging more :confused:

XGear has awesome customer service. They answered every email I sent and did stayed professional when dealing with me stressing out. In the end they needed to resend my shipment. I have nothing but good things to say about their customer service. I hope the product is just as good.

Matte Black Xgear ExoSkin on Black N5.

N5 looks lovely and black and easy to fit once aligned properly.

However its easy to put fingerprint grease and dust on the skin. More worryingly it feels too smooth, little grip, like covering your phone with smooth black A4 piece of paper.

I took advantage of the sale to try out the skin and have to say that N5 is better off without it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] BCSC:
Love my new skin. Wood teak skin. Applied very easy in about 5 minutes. Anyone worried about precision can rest easy, this thing is exact! 1 thing to note is that these do not effect the fit of cases, BUT, you must be very careful with putting on\off. I work construction and need the protection a case offers but my phone + skin is gonna look pretty bad ass on weekends. Here are a bunch of pictures of final product.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] spicydicy:
While I think we all appreciate customer service, I'd be careful representing a company on a fairly large site, without them knowing you are representing them.

Could get you into some trouble down the road.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
I should of rephrased that...my company knows I'm on here but I'm here voluntarily.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ollidiemaus:
Oh yeah the customer support is nice it's just awesome to have one of them right here in the community.

Now I'll just have to wait for my skin to arrive. :)

This guy right here is a stand up guy. I remember him going to bat for us Galaxy Nexus owners to get us a Tempered Glass protector. Only Iphones had tempered glass at that time. He stayed in the thread and answered all questions and when there was an issue, quickly replied and gave great customer service. I think there was an initial batch issue and he issued refunds or replacements, no questions asked.

I'm considering getting the Sentinel. Anyone have one or [MENTION=4418784]pmoradi2002[/MENTION] can you tell me a little about it or do you have a thread for it too?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
Thanks for your input and feedback, much appreciated!

The Nexus 5 Sentinel is a fairly new product, we received our batch in on 12/13....hopefully we'll see some reviews start to pop up soon! I don't believe there is a thread but if you'd like simply either open a new thread or shoot over a PM with your questions/concerns and I'll get to you :good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] housry23:
Do you have a nexus 5? No need for a pm, just wondering if anyone has used it. I just bought a different tempered glass, but it was cheap. If it's crap, I'll get a Sentinel. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
I have a G2 but we have a Nexus 5 in the office. I've played around with it and it's probably my favorite glass since it is smooth and responsive, fits perfectly covering the entire screen, and installed a lot easier than glass I've installed in the past. Keep an eye out around YouTube and the forums as many should be receiving their orders now and will hopefully be posting reviews!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ollidiemaus:
Okay I applied the wood teak skin a couple days ago and I need to say that I really like it.

It took me like 20 minutes to apply the skin not 5 like in the videos but after all it is very easy to apply. Definitely worth buying in my opinion!

Hey [MENTION=4418784]pmoradi2002[/MENTION]

I've read some good things about these skins, which would you say has grippy-ness similar to the black nexus 5 back?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
Depends on the look you're going for, our Matte skins have [obviously] a Matte finish so they are not very slick. Our Brushed Metals have a brushed grain/texture to them. Our Carbon Fibers have a carbon fiber grain/texture to them. Our Leathers have grain/texture to them.

Most that want more "grip" purchase either the Black Leather, Matte [anything], or one of our Brushed Metals :good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kopower:
Which Color??

I think I'm going to order the Exo skin over the dbrand, and slickwraps. I like the one piece design. I just can't pick a color. There are not too many pics or videos of a white N5 with the different styles. Any suggestions? I am leaning towards the teak, brushed steal black or titanium. Even the leather might not be too bad.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tracerit:
any plans for just the back piece?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] thetonyclifton:
Hi I just wanted to let you guys know about this product. Firstly it is great, very well cut, feels good and installation was smooth flawless and quick, if you have any doubts about that...don't..just buy it.

I will just drop a warning though that the full kit includes back (with connected sides) and skins for the front where as if you buy the back section only it is literally only the back (without the attached sides). I wanted the back with connected sides but not the front sections...so if you are in my position you need to order the full kit and throw away the front.

I realise that may be a bit confusing but I thought I should warn people against the same confusion/mistake I made.

Just to reiterate the product itself is great., international shipped was quick, I am very pleased, just frustrated with the mix up.

If you want skins you should consider xgear. Even the item I did get although it isn't what I wanted looks great, it makes the black nexus look better than the white as it looks like the white nexus without the white speaker and with matte sides which I think would be the best of both worlds aesthetically :)

Ramble over :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kong:
How do you buy the back section only? I don't see any option on XGear website :confused:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] adiliyo:
it's on the site, just click to the next page of skins and you'll see it. i almost bought the full one and then saw there was the back only.

i have a slickwraps skin on my phone now, but wanted to change things up a little so i ordered the teak one for my white n5. i'll post up some pics when it comes in and i put it on.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kong:
I also wonder how the back-only skin looks around the edges, if anyone could post some pictures it would be easier to decide if I should go for the full skin instead :silly:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] thetonyclifton:
I couldn't find the back option again when I looked, it must be further into the buying process.

Adiliyo

Sorry only camera I have today is on the phone so can't take pictures. My back vinyl stops about a millimetre from the edge of the back plate, it is perfectly straight and I assume this mm of space was intentional, visually it makes very little difference but it probably cuts down on feeling the edge of the skin when holding the phone and prevents it catching on stuff.

Like I said the back only piece looks really good, I just thought and wished there was an option for the combined back and sides piece without the front...as that is what I wanted, it was the reason I went with xgear as it is the most unique part of their product, I could have ordered a simpler back piece closer to home.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kong:
Ah… then I guess it’s about the same as dbrand’s. Thought it would cover the whole back :D

U work with/for xgear?

Just a suggestion for xgear ppl . They should include a screen guard which fits the Centre part of skin [portion without skin] just like dbrand does

The sides are note coming off :mad::mad::mad: after 1day of use
[Nexus 5 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
http://www.xgearlive.com/products/android/lg/exo-skin-1

More accessories = higher cost

Instead of including a garbage screen protector and charging a few $$$ more, we simply keep it out and allow the user to buy a more suitable screen protector. The front skins can be placed on top of any screen protector.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jitin02:
[MENTION=4418784]pmoradi2002[/MENTION]

Any suggestion for the sides near buttons and speaker coming off?

I should have bought slickwrap/dbrand :( . this thing of xgear has started to comeoff :eek: from sides. even after trying heat method, these dont want to stick:eek:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
Heat. This will solve ALL issues with the skin coming off (providing that the adhesive is NOT dirty).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] pmoradi2002:
I noticed several of our competitors are creating new revisions of this skin for the Red Nexus 5.

Per Google, the Black, White, & Red Nexus 5 all have the same dimensions!

That don't solve anything for me. Tried 4 times till now. It sticks for a sec and comes off again

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ECrispy:
I still have almost a year left on contract with Verizon. I love the S3, esp with custom AOSP roms.

Would it be worth it to make the following switch -

- sell my unlimited data line to someone else

- buy a Nexus 5, and use a prepaid carrier

- sell my S3

I've realized I don't use as much data as I thought I would, and it might save me some money, get me out of contract, and get a better phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zetsumeikuro:
T-Mobile probably will be your best bet if you want to save some $$$. I know they are rolling out LTE and it's available in a good amount of markets. Best bet would be to check out their coverage map, and if they do have LTE search for speed tests in your area. T-Mobile still has unlimited data with no throttling and their overall phone service is decent. If I didnt' have unlimited data and a hefty discount on my VZW account that's what I would do. You might find the cost of T-Mobile comparable vs some prepaid plans. That or you could always do Straight Talk if you're not too concerned about faster speeds or having unlimited.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karan3296:
Hey

I have been flashing ROMs over the past year. Not sure if its related but I eventually managed to almost blow up my battery (excessive bulging), and my phone started experiencing massive heat issues. (Though I think its predominantly due to bad charging habits)

Got a new battery but the phone still heats up with basic phone usage (browser,BBC app ) around the camera,though not as much as before and eventually the SIM card stops being detected.

The problem with the heating and sim card detection came first during MIUI Rom. Since then I have tried revolution and carbon ROMs and still the phone heats up and sim card stops being detected. I eventually need to restart the phone and wait for it to cool down before the SIM is recognised. (The IMEI is intact)

Sorry I dont have actual temperature ranges but even basic usage causes this. I can barely get through a call before the call drops due to the same issue.

Can you help me in understanding if this is a software issue - incorrect baseband?kernel?ROM issue?

Or if I have done permanent damage to my hardware when the battery bulged and the phone overheated?

I have a i9100 bought in India currently being used in UK on Revolution ROM XWLSW V4.0.

Thanks

My wifes phone(the one i now use) was the same using 4.0.4,so now i use 2.3.5 with speedmod and i never get any problems.

Thanks for your replies.

I haven't tried Neat. The issue first came in MIUI. I am inclined to think that had to something with this issue. I recently tried 4.3 based Carbon but absolutely the same issue. That made me think it's the hardware or something wrong with the sim tray.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
Just keep trying different roms til your phone likes one of them.Different roms have different effects on each phone.
