With the lack of a kickstands on our Galaxy nexus it has many of us searching for a solution ... there is one kickstand case online but IMHO its an eyesore and does not look durable at all. Which caused me to continue looking, and tis is what I found.
The GoGoStand is portable (same size as a credit card), durable, cheap ($5 from gogostand.com), and has many viewing angles for different uses.
I purchased it expecting nothing but found myself using it all the time. I store it in my tpu phone case and it fits perfectly, even with the extended (2000mah oem) battery.
I highly recommend this to all galaxy nexus users as its extremely useful for an on the go stand with multiple viewing angles.
Btw, this will work with and without cases and also comes in several colors.
Looks interesting. And at that price, it couldn't hurt to try. Gonna buy 3 of them and we'll see how it goes.
i first got one of these when i just got my nexus one. it's pretty reliable and i just leave it in my wallet. i was worried that numerous times you fold it would eventually weaken it, but it's still able to hold my gnex just fine.
i got one of theses a long time ago and it's still in my wallet. doesnt get too much use but when i want it, its there. no problems at all with durability
Have you seen the Seidio Active case? It has a kickstand. We've been discussing it on the case sticky.

But the sides on that case is fugglyyyy... Not sure why they made it that way, indentation for the fingers??

Yes, I also ordered another one to put into my wallet in case I don't feel like taking the case halfway off. I take my case off at least once a day anyways as I change batteries.
- GSM Galaxy Nexus
just ordered one lol
dont use it often, but will come in handy when needed
Same, thanks to itsjusttim's post I ordered 4 - arrived really quickly and they're great.
Best solution I've seen so far. And the bronze one matches the colour of the GN really well.
nice... here's mine I made using some card from casino.

Are you guys using your phones a ton for video and what not, and that is why you need a stand? I use it for short youtube clips, but even when I had my Evo and Thunderbolt, I never really used the kickstand for media. It was more something to play with when I was bored.

I stream a lot of Youtube and Revision3, but also use it for charging (clock). Useful for music as well using the speaker I can project against a wall or the stand itself instead of just straight up or down.

Mine is my main TV so I really need a stand.
Almost 18 months ago I made a mistake and bought the LG optimus 2x. It had a horrible stock rom (so much lag) and a very bad battery life. Thanks to CM it is much better now. My contract is ending soon and I don't want to make another mistake like the last time.
I read a lot about the Samsung Galaxy note 2 the last couple of days and it has so many positive stuffs but I still have some questions about it
1: Some people are saying that the battery life of the note 2 is very good but I also read on this forum that some people are having bad battery life?
2: If you install an app does the note 2 lag? (yeh the lg 2x does:angel or is there any lag at all when using it?
To be true I don't see anything bad about this phone, I did read that the screen can break very easily if you let it fall but yeh that's a risk you always take.
Thank you!
1. Great battery life, don't think you can get better battery life with any other handset. You can get 6-8 hr screen on time with browsing and video playback.
2. I have over 200 apps installed and it naver lagged evwn for 1 sec.
Close your eyes, buy it and remember me in your prayers for giving you a good suggestion
sent from: The New S-Pen
1. I get anywhere from 5 to 8 hours on screen time. This is the only phone I've ever had that I didn't have to worry about bringing my charger with me.
2. Installing apps doesn't slow this phone down at all. I have several installed with absolutely no lag.
Just to add, this is the best device I've ever owned. I usually switch phones every 2 to 3 months, but I really believe this device will hold me over until the Note 3 releases.
Thanks to both of you! 5,5 inch will be so awesome!
What can i say, i ordered a screen protector and i am gonna order the phone tomorrow. I still don't know which case i should get because the flip cover doesn't protect the edges at all.

I just got mine 2 days ago. I am absolutely STUNNED by the battery life on this thing! Yesterday I was running some N64 games while watching some tv shows at the same time and the battery levels were only crawling down. I will say it takes a while to get this thing to a full charge but man oh man is it worth it.. I went to this from an Infuse 4G and it blew my mind, you will not be disappointed with this phone! As for the screen covers, I always clutch onto my phones and work in a low pace environment so I don't have to worry about dropping it, the Samsung OEM screen cover is really nice and keeps the screen from getting scratched while in my pocket, and makes the phone just look that much more slick!
I have got mine... my battery life is a day. Gaming useage and emails. Currently on 9%. Love everything about it... the TouchWiz with note orientated features. I also have a 2X which i really loke running stock ICS from LG.
However, HTC Droid DNA or the international version looks tempting.

I did check the HTC Droid DNA but the battery of that device doesn't make me look amazed at all. I ordered martin fields screen protectors but it will take a while till i receive them so it's great to hear that the Samsung OEM screenprotectors are good. The only thing i am still worried about is which case i need to get. I think i will go for the flip cover of samsung.
Ordered a white Galaxy note 2! Should be here in 2 days , Thanks everyone for the advice and help!
Check out the flygrip. I'm using it on my S3 and it makes the phone so much more comfortable to hold and use one handed, I can't wait to use it on my Note 2(if Verizon ever releases the damn thing). But yeah, it actually comes with a pretty nice(free) case that covers all of the edges.

Hi All,
I've attached a few pictures of the Sonivo Wallet case for the nexus 5. It also has a sleep sensor but the best way to show that is through video, will try to upload to youtube and this thread a little later today.
I've been using it for a couple days now and it's a brilliant, sleep sensor works perfectly, it's the only case I've come across that has this feature! All the additional pockets on the inside come in handy too.
It's available on amazon which is where I got mine from, arrived a day after I placed the order so they've defo got stock of these already. You can search for it on amazon "Sonivo Premium Leather Wallet Case nexus 5"
I'll try my best to get a few more pics and that video up a little later today so you can see for yourself why I think this case is so good.
If you have any questions post a comment and I'll try reply as soon as!

Only thing I hate about this case is the fact that it has sim slots.

Looks nice. Looks like no one in the US stocks it unfortunately.
I hope they bring some of these over they look nice.
Looks nice enough for £12. Ordered one. Like the idea of a wallet. I've a dt-910 and if I could combine a wallet case that would work with QI charging I'd be happy! Happy to pay a fair bit more for something premium, suggestions anyone?

Well actually it's not for me but for my husband's new phone. I knew he had been looking for something with sensors so had bought this case after reading about it here. I don't usually write on forums but I thought that it might be worth sharing my 2 cents worth given that I wouldn't have found the case had it not been for coming across this xda thread.
It arrived really quickly so was able to surprise my husband with it before he flies out tomorrow. Looks like a nice case in terms of finish. Stand is easy to use and I can attest to the sleep sensors working perfectly. Obviously it's early days so might convince my husband to write a more in-depth review of it in a few weeks. The phone was easy enough to get in the case, getting it out can seem harder but I just clipped a corner out and the rest followed without effort. Test shot with the camera was fine but again it was just one pic so will see what's it's like when you need to take images on the move etc.
One thing I noticed someone mention is the SIM card holders. While I agree that I personally would have no use for them, they are definitely going to be useful for my husband who has one of these global SIM cards for when he travels. Either way I don't think they are obtrusive given that they are on the inner flap and out of sight most of the time.
Anyway let me know if anyone wants any pics posted, though I won't see the case (or my husband) for a week after tomorrow. Or even if anyone has questions...

Does the magnet interfere with the phone in any way? Maybe the compass or any other sensors?
[Edit] also, is the phone held snugly in the case or does it seem like I could come out with just a bit of flexing?

It's fairly easy to get the phone in and out. If you insert the case one side at a time its really easy. I normally insert the phone in from the left side then once that's in, clip the right side it. Getting it out is the same thing just in reverse. The support on the case is tough but does have a bit of allowance to allow the phone to come out.

Been using it for a few days now and haven't had any problems with it.
No movement from the phone once it's in the case. It's a hard case support thats made especially for the Nexus 5 so once the phone is in won't be going anywhere.
Hope that answers your questions.
One other question: does qi charging work with this case or is it too thick?

Seconded. This looks like the best case with an autowake cover. But it's also the only one that's not available in North America
I was curious about this wake n sleep function and played with a magnet on the phone, the sensor seems to be on the top left corner of the screen. Might glue a thin magnet into the cheapish pink wallet case my gf got for her N5 to ad this feature :good:
Where can or will Americans be able to purchase this? This case seems to be the best option and I only use wallet cases.

I have one that's similar:

The only issues are (1) doesn't work with a car mount as is a frequent case problem and (2) the phone seems to get hotter with a wireless charger than the phone gets without the case on.
I'm assuming if you have this case, you have your phone in your jacket pocket.
I'm also a bit worried about the magnet for the flap, wouldn't it demagnetize your cards?

Hello, before I start, I would like to state it is my first time on XDA forums, so hello everyone! I would like to get a Nexus 5X, however I am scared it is not durable enough. Since I am living in a location where it's hard to get fixed or really expensive, I want to know if it is worth getting. If I shouldn't, what should alternative should I get that has a finger-print scanner and stock or bloatware free Android?
IPhone ? Just kidding. I find it's a good phone. Durable ? If you drop it on concrete from 2 meters it will break, like all phones. Buy a good case which covers the edge of the screen, and a explosion glass and you will be fine.

Yes get one and a glass screen protector and supcase. Either that or wait for the one +3. That looks like a killer device if the rumored $300 price tag is true. But honestly I love my 5x.

What?!? No way would I ever get an iPhone! They are definitely not durable! I cannot remember a single Apple device that I owned that didn't wreck! No joke, I'm serious. Anyway, what I mean is, is it possible to get battery problems or those kind of problems, that is what I mean. Let's say I'm using it and I drop it. What's the chance that it will break? And what is more durable, the 2013 Nexus 7 or the Nexus 5X.?

Gorilla glass is great, but not exactly scratch proof. You generally don't get deep scratches easily, but you will likely get fine scratches and potentially worse if it drops onto something even if it doesn't crack.
That's why i love my Ringke case so much, it's still looks just like a Nexus 5x. And gorilla glass indeed can get some minor scratches but those are really fine.. most cases have a little upstanding edge to protect the screen. For me this is the perfect combo but of course there's no harm in using a screen protector. I just don't use them anymore..

Have you decided on what your choice is?
Personally, the 5x is great with the fingerprint id, but the 2GB RAM is killing me. Too much lag and the battery, for me, is horrible and I hardly use the damn thing. Facebook isn't installed nor a weather app. It's proven to be really frustrating after 8 months of use.
I just did a factory reset tonight to see if it would fix my issues but it didn't. Also I never rooted this.

That's what you think now but there's so many background processes running that my used ram averages at 1.7gb according to system panel (paid version). I honestly can't stop these running processes.
That's why my phone is lagging so much plus the battery is draining right before my eyes.
Don't get me wrong, I really like this phone but these annoyances add up.

I understand but I'm using it for a few months now and never have any issues with it. I also did check my ram usage on my previous phone to determine if 2gb is enough for me, and it is.
Maybe it's because I'm running custom roms and kernels i don't know, i also use it for work so i have quite a few apps installed.

I'm in the process of getting Google to warranty this. That's why I never rooted it. For some reason I had this weird feeling something would go wrong on this device!
Sent from my annoying Nexus 5X
I'm not getting it anymore. It's not worth the risk. I'm thinking, should I get the LG G4 or Sony Xperia Z3+ (Z4)? I don't really care about fingerprint sensors anymore. What is the better phone in general? Also, is there any kind of stock Android ROM for these phones?
I can say something though. If you're living in a country that the Nexus devices aren't popular, don't get any of them. It's not worth going so far to fix it if it wrecks, then to have to play a high amount for it.
edit: Never mind
Just picked up a new 5x for $199 with Fi, should be here tomorrow
oneplus 3 looks pretty good too at this point now that it's out.
If you have a 5X already it's likely not worth the upgrade, but if you don't it looks pretty solid.
still, for a tiny bit more the N6P is also amazing.
I just hooked up the warrantied refurbished Nexus 5X this morning. So far so good. I'm just making sure everything that didn't work before is now working before I send my phone back.
