I ordered mine on the 5th of February and it shipped on the 12th, which was 5 business days. I didn't do priority shipping and it was delivered on the 15th. When I ordered mine, covers for the white nexus were shipping in 3 to 5 business days which is what I got. I do recall there was a message that said black nexus covers were taking a little longer to fulfill, not sure if that is still the case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rudydimacali:
Yep. Did say 3-5 days :( Guess it'll be sometime next week then. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Knolly:
Just installed mine and am very pleased with it. It has a really nice feel even if the edges on the wood are a bit sharp, not too sharp though. I installed the front cover on top of a glass screen protector with zero issues.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] konfuzed:
heres mine with ebony ..looks and feel great in my hands
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jnad32:
Was actually wondering if anyone has been able to find a picture with something printed on it. I am actually wondering what having NEXUS printed on the back would like.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AlderCass:
This is the one I ordered and am waiting for so thanks for the pic! :D
[Nexus 5 Accessories] vytman:
Is this a skin or a cover?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] junkinmytrunk426:
skin made out of real wood.

that ebony looks sexy!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rudydimacali:
Anyone have any pics of the Bamboo variant on a phone? Too excited... they should send an email to my paypal email once they ship it out right?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AlderCass:
My Ebony one arrived yesterday, really impressed. I'm only gonna use the single back skin piece, not a fan of the side ones or the one for the camera lens. The Toast logo is far less prominent than I was expecting which is a big plus for me. Also, side by side with the "wood" dbrand skin on my Nexus 4, the dbrand one still looks damn good even up against real wood, though the toast one does smell nicer :laugh: I'll post comparison pics after work later.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] milestone2mod:
Has anybody ordered to Germany yet? How long did it take for you to arrive?

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Cowboy_Henk:
I'm very interested in these skins. I'm doubting with slickwraps (glow) or toastmade. I know, they are very different :)

But I have some questions about the toast made skins:

- How do you treat and clean these skins? they are made of wood so, do they need a treatment with bees wax or something? Wood furniture needs this because they tend to get dry and cracky?

- doesn't it discolor? Because sweaty, greasy hands makes wood more black after a certain time?

- compatible with QI charger?

- How is the weight? Bulkiness?

- Can you put on a screenprotector like the mime ghost first and then put on the skins? I can't leave the screen naked, for me it needs scratch and impact protection!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AlderCass:
For treatment it's your call - it doesn't feel like it's been waxed or anything like that so I share the same concern about keeping it clean and the possibility of staining. If you're looking for considerable durability I'd go for a vinyl skin instead.

Yep it works just fine with Qi.

It adds no noticeable weight and and looks to be about half a millimeter thick so it'll add that to whatever surfaces/sides you choose to put it on.

Yep you can but it'll add to the overall bulk (though not enough for it to be a concern IMO).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] pdangcil:
I have the walnut one. I haven't installed it yet. I'm a little scared because of the horrible stories on youtube on how it was too hard to take off. i'm just waiting.

i do agree with the poster above when he said that it smells good. because it does smell really good!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rudydimacali:
But if you paid $30-45 for essentially a nice skin, would you really want to take it off? :p Did they send you an email when they shipped it out or did it just arrive?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Cowboy_Henk:
Toast made answered my questions

Hi Marius,

Thanks for your email. I am happy to answer your questions

.

How do you treat and clean these skins? they are made of wood so, do they need a treatment with bees wax or something? Wood furniture needs this because they tend to get dry and cracky?

We apply 3 coats of finish by hand, so it will give the wood a seal and bring out the natural grain patterns. It can be cleaned occasionally with rubbing alcohol. If it is done too much it can break down the finish. The finish will help repel day to day dirt, but is not a stain guard. If you live in a dry climate, you could add a wax as needed, but it probably won't be necessary.

doesn't it discolor? Because sweaty, greasy hands makes wood more black after a certain time?

Yes, the wood will darken up over time and get a nice patina to it from the natural oils in our hands. We think it adds nice character to the cover over time. We suggest avoiding greasy hands - as in food greasy.

Can you put on a screenprotector like the mime ghost first and then put on the skins? I can't leave the screen naked, for me it needs scratch and impact protection!

We recommend not doing this, since we make and test our covers to adhere direct to the glass. Our experience with front covers over a screen protector is that eventually they peel off with the screen protector. We sell the front covers separate, so you can decide if it is enough for you or if you prefer a more traditional clear screen protector. I know what you mean, as I need the scratch protection too! Perhaps we will find a way to develop a front cover that does both:)

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thanks,

Jen

Just discovered Carved.com http://www.carved.com/shop/google-nexus-5 that makes wooden back cases as well. Sorry for the hijack, but it's wood too and somewhat related lol.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Cowboy_Henk:
Those look really great! Especially with those carvings!

But it's not a skin like Toast :)

Does anyone have a coupon code for Toast?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rudydimacali:
Just saw on Toast's Instagram that they do have back covers with the Nexus logo engraved, got kind of sad, then called their office to see if I could modify my order to have the Nexus logo engraved like on the back of the phone. They were just about to ship out my package, but got it from the pile and said sure thing, and I just had to pay the $5 difference for custom text. Great customer service, thanks Jen!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Cowboy_Henk:
Is there a discount coupon somewhere?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] pdangcil:
No email. It arrived in less than a week. And i'm in Japan!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rudydimacali:
Wow, nice! Mine is going to be delayed another 3 business days because I called today and added the vertical Nexus logo on the back being engraved, last minute haha
[Nexus 5 Accessories] alex1301:
Are the toast ones real cases or only stickers?

Just installed my Bamboo cover on my black N5! Its beautiful! http://imgur.com/a/gLomv
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dsmpampis:
It's looks awesome!!! But to honest, i find the ebony a little bit better....
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AlderCass:
I knew I should have just waited :crying:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Cowboy_Henk:
So when you want a Toast cover with Nexus engravings, what do you do?

And are there any discount coupons?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rudydimacali:
I do not know of any coupons. And I would just order from the site, then call them and ask for a nexus logo engraving. They'll email you a link to pay for the difference

---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

Yeah, the only thing I didn't like about the ebony is that its not real ebony... But of course, that's very reasonable lol. I kind of just chose bamboo because its bamboo, but I'm very happy with it. Looks way better in person IMO.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dsmpampis:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Cowboy_Henk:
Yeah I know, I am also a little afraid of the removal proces too.

They say that it is indeed a little tricky. The toast skins are ment to stay rock solid on your phone. This is their method

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_JTL0chKB4

I think the iphone (or htc one) is easier than most phones because of the alumnium back which distributes the heat better. Most phones have a plastic or soft coated back and the glue sticks better to it and can't take the heat that much﻿... :silly:

Anyhow the skin is ruined when you remove it, the wood can't take the force when you take it of. And when you have glue residue like that, there are special products for it (adhesive solvents ....but I don't know if the plastic of the Nexus 5 can live with it. Should test it first.

I work as a nurse in a hospital and we use Remove wipes http://www.smith-nephew.com/australia/healthcare/products/product-types/skin-care/remove--wipes3/ for the strong bandaids to come off. I will try this.

On the regular market I heard of Goo Gone or Goo Off
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dsmpampis:
you're right! But I think when you go take off the skin the mat back of Nexus will became gloss.....
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jamin13:
Do you think there is any way to slightly adjust the placement of the face? Mine is just high enough by the LED to make me OCD so I want to move it down by < 1 mm.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] pdangcil:
I'm willing to sell mine. I have the Walnut version. I'm not even sure why I bought one. I bought it before I received my Nexus 5. But after receiving my Nexus 5, I decided to keep it naked aside from a screen protector.

Would anyone like to buy mine? $30 Shipped.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] FuMMoD:
Can you get custom text other than Nexus on the back of the phone?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ericsignals:
Anyone have pics of the walnut installed? I'm trying to decide between that and ebony....also any more pics of ebony would be great too!

[Nexus 5 Accessories] ollidiemaus:
Hey guys I just installed my toast Bamboo skin and just wanted to share my experiences with it.

First of all I was pretty satisfied with the delivery speed it took only about 2 weeks for the skin to arrive here in Germany I think this is okay :)

The installation was pretty easy. I had the xgear skin before and the installation of the toast skin was even easier. It took maybe 10 minutes so nothing compared to the xgear.

My first impression of the skin is really good I really like how it feels.

But somehow the edges of each part are still a little bit gluey from the 3m but I think this should go away. And I'm concerned that th power button could peel of but we'll see.

This are just my first impressions of the skin I will update this post after using it some days/weeks.

Hi everybody,

Something that I've been noticing recently that I'm not getting certain messages with hangouts. Sometimes the messages are part of a group message and other times its direct. This occurs when both android phones and iPhones text me... Something I've also noticed is that instead of getting the message I'll get something about downloading a MMS message. It then won't let me download the message.

I've attached a picture of what this message looks like...

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joerak85:
Hello,

I am brand new to the rooting/modifying process but managed to successfully root and install cyanogenmod 10.2.0 on my device a couple days ago, thanks to a newbie-friendly forum found on this website.

I searched for a cyanogenmod update using the auto-installer and found, today, that there is a newer version available, 10.2.1. Problem is, when I proceed with the installation, the process commences (seemingly without a hitch) but when the phone finishes rebooting, the phone info shows I am still using the 10.2.0 version of cyanogenmod.

I am confused as to why the installation is failing to update my phone and would appreciate any guidance!! I realize there are ways to manually update, but I would rather first understand why the auto-updater is not working before I try to mess with it manually.

Thanks!

Hello !

I've bought it today so I used it and decided to empty the battery before using it.

After it powers out, I plug it in on computer, pressed the power button and was a big empty battery with " 0%" so I let it charge and now I can't boot up..

Has anyone had the same problem ?

Thanks
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManBearrrPig:
plug it in and hold the power button for 2-3minutes. the white led should blink a couple of times. if it does, leave the phone charging for an hour and than unplug it and power it up holding power button.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mistermatt007:
I've found this solution yesterday, but thanks !
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDoubleTap:
Just a tip

By the way you shouldn't have done empty your battery the first time.

Why ? Because now in our smartphones we have Lithium-Ion battery instead of lead battery so what you did was a good thing ... but for the lead one. When you have a new laptop or smartphone it is already charged up to 40% because if it's below with the natural capacity loss of your battery you could damage the internal circuit and if it is full charged it will be as harmful as if it's not enough charged.

If you empty your battery the first time before using it you can lost 20-25% of its capacity in just one cycle :eek:

So when you have a new smartphone or laptop or anything else with a Litium battery :

- Full charge it before using it

- Discharge it until the warning message "Plug your phone ..."

- Full charge it again

And never empty your battery, keep in mind that there is a complex circuit system which always need electricity.

These informations are from a very very good pdf i read few months ago about Lithium-Ion batteries. Unfortunately it's full french but if someone is interested I can send him a PM with the link :)

So I've just ditched my Samsung S 4 and got myself a Nexus 5, which came with a red bumper case.

And so I've been looking for a great Android themed red wallpaper.

After searching for a while, I decided the best solution was to make my own.

And of course I thought I'd share them with everyone on XDA.

Please enjoy and let me know what you think.

*Feel free to add any that you have (Must be red and Android themed :good:)*
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Ober/Hydra:
I wish these were actually 1080p.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] L.iam:
I'll have them up in 1080p soon :good:

**EDIT**

Okay this blows the proportions all out of wack, without remaking the whole image (which sadly I don't have the time to do currently)

But I can make them HD quality keeping proportions optimised for phone display, I'll upload in just a sec
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Ober/Hydra:
Sweet, thank you!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] L.iam:
HD - Phone proportions optimised

The following are HD quality with the proportions optimised for display on mobile devices (Nexus 5 is my choice)

I hope you enjoy these, I will work on 1080p Desktop size versions soon...

Due to the size of the images in HD quality all have been added into a zip file

Ugh. As soon as I saw it was "flossy carter" I had to close it. That guy is such an egotistical arrogant douche who thinks he's above everyone else.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Lethal_NFS:
Ya but this about the case, not the dude in the video.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Jfree3000:
Not trying to start anything but how did you come to that conclusion?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] widowmaker777:
By watching his other videos and seeing him basically laugh at people who can't afford a $100 case and also in the comments he posts to attack his viewers just because their point of view differs from his.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Lethal_NFS:
The case is $52. And I could care less about how the guy in the video talks to anyone. I only care about the product in the video.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] widowmaker777:
I'm not talking about this video in particular. He posts some pretty nasty comments to his viewers, and personally I can't respect anyone who treats others like the way he does. But anyway, I'm not trying to hijack this thread. I've tried aluminum cases and bumpers before and they all interfere with signal reception. Also, it interferes with wireless charging capabilities. It straight up doesn't work if you have some kind of metal between the phone's receiver coil and charger. With a premium finish case like that, I'd be worried about scratching up the case as well. Personally, I'm not too worried about physical damage, so I opt for one of those 3mm thin cases on ebay for $1. They provide good scratch protection but offer little impact protection.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] blaine07:
I can't imagine a case of that magnitude NOT affecting signal...

Found this same case on Aliexpress for $15 shipped...

*edit: sorry, $18 http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hot-...msung-Galaxy-note-III-3-N9000/1492062094.html
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Lethal_NFS:
You do know that everything on Aliexpress are Chinese knockoffs right?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bertmansk:
Sure, but they also supply the same crap (like what's in OP's link) to multiple companies who then put their own brand on it. What's in OP's link is the same thing as the one I linked, but with other writing on the back.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Lethal_NFS:
Not at all man. I purchased a fake Element Case for my iPhone from that site for $15. It was a piece of ****. I then paid $90 for a real Element Case, and it was absolutely amazing.

You analogy is like saying your Payless shoes are just as good as Nike.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] widowmaker777:
So then write up an actual review and tell us why instead of just posting someone else's youtube video and telling us $$$ = quality. Better yet, buy that fake case and let us know what the differences are.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bertmansk:
No. That's not what I'm saying. I looked at that websites other cases and all they sell are the same things you find on aliexpress, except at much more than double the cost. Look for yourself. I'm telling you it's the same exact thing, not a knockoff.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] flipq88:
Flossy is awesome. He doesn't give a ****. He's not in it to make money on yt. He just buys a lot of **** and reviews it. And yeah he talks **** to people, but only if they say something negative first.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Lethal_NFS:
lol dude. I have ordered from them and they are all knock offs. Even the Element Cases say Element Case with the same exact logo. They are called fakes.

You are more than welcome to buy from them though. Ever wonder why the American made items are available in China for a fraction of the price? Do not be so gullible lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bertmansk:
You clearly didn't go have a look. Oh, BTW, when you order from OP's link, you're ordering from China. My point = proven.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Lethal_NFS:
I was talking about the Element Case. They are made in the US.

You should Google Aliexpress fakes. You might learn something about that site lol

You are more than welcome to believe anything from Aliexpress is legit though.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bertmansk:
I'm not retarded I know they sell fakes. They have the fake spigen neo for $4. But you've taken what I said and flipped it around to make yourself sound right. I told you what OP linked for $53 is the same thing found on aliexpress for $18. You've gone off and you're talking about a case I don't know or care about. Does aliexpress sell a copy of a $90 case? Most likely, but that's not the case in point.

I'm done now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] widowmaker777:
Not all chinese products are good quality. There's definitely a lot of low quality knockoffs. But you should be more informed about what kind of products you are buying. A good example are computer power supplies. There are only a handful of hardware manufacturers and OEMs simply buy them and slap their names on it. Big names like Seasonic and Corsair do this along with other much cheaper names you've never heard of. It is exactly the same product though. If you want people to take you seriously, post something of value. I have bought all kinds of things from Ali Express and some knockoffs are better than you think. Jewelery, electronics, clothes, all have knockoffs but some are actually quite good. If you post a review contrasting the differences between the genuine and knockoff, I'm sure a lot of people here would be interested in reading that. Me included. Don't pull a flossy carter and attack people. Post something informative that the community can appreciate.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Lethal_NFS:
Incorrect. That link you posted is not at all the same case. Does not share the same name or quality.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gdeadfan:
Feisty bunch in this thread! There have been like 3 decent posts in this whole mess of cat fights. Getting back to OP's case, does anyone have any real world experience with it, specifically related to signal loss? I would love this case, but Flossy mentioned signal loss and that is a huge turnoff for me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] d12unk13astard:
Case reminds me too much of an iphone type look, and the mention of signal loss is an instant non purchase. Already own the Spigen Neo Hybrid 3 which is just as slippery with no grip, I've been rockin the much bulkier but easier to hold Zerolemon/otterbox knockoff case.

Offtopic, Flossy is cool he just talks shyt to the haters who leave stupid comments on his page. He just gots lots of money to buy this stuff and his reviews are great & unbiased.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dr.m0x:
Don't see what's good about a case that makes an Android look like an iPhone, but that just me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] KobrakaiMM:
I really love this case for the looks, but I was not going to pay full price to try it out. I bought a knock-off on ebay. Mind you that it was an identical case (same material, same looks, same buttons and even the same tool). With the case on I had a dramatic signal loss. I went from full bars to only one or two. In house it even went to no signal. It was really bad.

Yes it was a knock-off and the real product could differ. Also I never really have the strongest signal in my area, but the effects were complete bs.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tankxx:
what's a good case in pink or purple? do they make this case in this color?.thank you
