I used one of those "stupid invisible shield" covers for two years, they are more tacky than a simple hard protector but neither the screen nor the protector actually ever got a scratch. Some people really don't like the feel of them, though. If my current phone didn't come with gorilla glass 3 I would probably buy another one.

The packaging contains a tray that you put your phone in and then you take the included roller and snap it in a track in the tray. You then just kind of roll it across the phone and it applies the screen protector pretty much perfectly. Not sure if they make one for your specific phone but I've had no issues with them and I usually don't like screen protectors. It applied much, much easier than the Zagg, Skinomi, and Best-Skins-Ever protectors that I've used in the past. I think they make matte and anti-bacterial variations for some phones too. I might order one next week since this thread convinced me to sell my GS4 and buy a Moto-X. I love it.

I have one of the new Nexus wireless chargers and have never had a wireless charger before. It's awesome and works fine, but I'm wondering how much less effective it is with a case on the phone? I have the Diztronic one for my Nexus 5. Anyone have any experiences with this? I really don't want to stop using a case, as the protruding camera lens glass thing makes me nervous to place on a desk or something with no case.

Flash drive and OTG cable arrived today  I went through a few apps with no success but finally landed on Total Command + Stick Plugin which allowed me to browse the usb drive and play movies on my Nexus 5. Seems like it'll work well, have any Nexus 5 users used other apps for OTG?

The Nokia charger will blink furiously at you if it doesn't have a strong enough connection to charge reliably. I get the steady solid charging light when charging my Nexus 5 through the diztronic TPU case. Works fine. If I need to fast charge my phone I'll just plug it in. You can get 2.1A via USB, you will max out at 1.6A using Qi, probably closer to 1.1A.

Yeah, I'm not expecting a fast charge out of this thing, it's more to keep it topped up in a super easy way without even thinking about it or messing with cables.

I have one at the office and one on my bedside stand and they keep it topped off throughout the day. Unless I'm headed somewhere the phone only lives off the charger(s) for the 20 minutes it takes to get to the office and back home again. 6-8 hours on the Qi charger through the diztronic case is enough to charge it overnight from 20% or so.

As a newbie to the concept of wireless charging, I find it odd to have to restrict my phone's mobility even more while charging. Is there any big advantage to wireless charging that I'm not seeing such as faster charging or less battery wear?

Well my N5 has it's first scratches from god knows what. They're 'only' on the glass over the camera and outside of the view. It could be worse but it's basically luck it wasn't straight over the camera.

Android 4.4 is available for Google Experience S4's. Upgraded to Android 4.4, no double menus experienced like some people joked about. Anyone else get the 4.4 update on their GPe S4's or HTC Ones?

Anything else I've used will see the files and folders but for some reason won't associate file types with the appropriate apps. TC USB plugin recognizes file types and let's me select a default app/player to use with the file type. Thanks for the link! Not sure if it makes a difference but I'm using a meenova mini micro USB card reader, its pretty handy, no cable to mess with just plug and go. With a 64G card. http://www.meenova.com

Have you received the 4.4 update yet on your Moto X, and if so, have you tried since then? The release notes for the 4.4 update includes "Added support for Square card reader," so it sounds like there may have been a fix for that.

Of course, the week after I get my Nexus 5, I realize that Motorola makes a Maxx Developer Edition available which is not locked to Verizon and uses LTE Band 4, takes a SIM card, and in other words is fully compatible with T-Mobile. Now I'm kicking myself.

But yes, it does have the always listening. The Maxx model Verizon sells is fully unlocked too, I tried a friend's T-Mobile SIM in mine just to see what happened and it worked just fine on HSPA+.

Yes, I'd personally get the Nexus 5, but the Moto X is very nice. With the black friday discount, putting the 16GB at $349. You can sell the Nexus 4 for probably $200 as well. $150 isn't too bad.

I'm unhappy with the software but I ended up buying a white G2 off if swappa for 385. For reasons not worth explaining I can't use the nexus 5 and decided at the same price the G2 made more sense than a Moto X mostly just for the Droid MAXX like battery life. I'm going to try to get used to stock + Nova. I previously got a white gs3 and can't suggest white phones enough for mobile developers. Most every work/wife/friend phone is either black or dark blue and a white phone saves you do much effort always finding your phone. I hope the g2 stock Rom doesn't such as much add I fear. Then again I carried a WP7 so I can deal with nearly anything.

I ordered another one on the 18th when I got my new card because it wouldn't let me change anything on Google Play. I phoned in to make sure the Nov 12th order was cancelled and they told me that both had been cancelled. I raised a fuss and they said to order a new one and they'd give me a credit for the trouble. So I ordered the 32gb.
