i just purchased the bug droid for the nexus 5 on amazon. I’m hoping the quality is as good as the cruzlite for nexus 4
It should be. Cruzerlite cases rock! I have one for my Moto X and Nexus 7 right now. Love’em.
Sweet!! I don’t have twitter!!
Awesome!
I ordered it because I love the pure Android experience on my Nexus 7 and the Nexus 5 hardware absolutely screams! PUMPED.
Because it’s nexus 5, enough said. I plan to sell or give my nexus 4 away when I get nexus 5.
I am sending back my week old LG G2 for this beast.
So you’re sending back basically a N5 with a better camera and bigger battery. The LG G2 and N5 are basically the same phone minus the specs being better for the G2, ports are already in the works and since the hardware is so similar once the N5 gets a new update it will be ported over to work on the G2 in no time. All roms and kernels will be ported over as well, after a few changes are made. So awesome dev community for the N5 will mean an awesome one for the G2 as well. :-)
Very true, just so happens i make it with about 5 0% of my battery left each day and almost never use the camera. I am also on my seconf g2. First on had bad pixels and this ones touchscreen is too sensitive. The price difference is a factor too.
I just bought a Nexus 5! I need a case to go with it!! Thanks for the contest!! :-D
They look cool.
I guess it was time for me to upgrade from my 2 year old GNex :)
Nexus rocks!
So great phone, Excellent B-Day present for myself.
I love cruzerlite cases!
Because it’s a great deal.
Damn it! Im under 18.
Nexus 5 and Cruzerlite collaboration was the best.
I ordered one because as an Android enthusiast, I deserve the absolute best Android can offer.
just ordered my nexus 5, I need this
i know i’m getting a nexus 5… eventually. may as well be prepared with a great case!
Hoping to get my first Nexus phone soon :D
I ordered TWO nexus 5’s. One because I get sick of messing around with porting AOSP to non-Nexus devices and only buy play or nexus edition devices.
The other was to get my HUSBAND to ditch his WINDOWS PHONE. Too many bugs and I can’t help him fix them. Blame Windows.
My Respect, Madam. It’s a pleasure to see a lady nerd.
Yeah. I haven’t met more than one other Embedded Android female. Met a few other application devs though.
And thank you!
My husband has me fix his phone all the time. Being on a Windows phone for the last 6 months has driven him mad in some ways and it really is a pleasure in others. Windows phone just isn’t geared towards the power user.
He wants AOSP with certain buttons that have been disabled in newer Android releases (like search and menu). That is only possible with “soft” buttons and full source trees. :) Wifey will make it all better soon.
I miss the menu button too (ugg, settings can be in any random place now like iphone), but the quick-app-switcher button we’ve gained is great, I don’t know how anyone can do without it :)
Yeah I go for a combo approach with press and hold.
MENU, HOME, BACK
^ ^
search switcher
As long as that code didn’t change much between 4.3 and 4.4 in (from tree perspective) /system and /frameworks. It can be copy/paste.
BTW – heh – got my “sticker” from Defcon with team pedobear, your sig just reminded me.
I would have loved to order it but I got an s4 a few months ago on t-mobile
The Old G-Nex was a bit long in the tooth and Big Red sucks!
Waiting for my 32GB to ship. So excited.
Looking for true google os experience without custom rom
My Gnex is on its last legs!
I ordered 2 Nexus 5s because I am sick of delayed updates. Also, my favorite flavor is vanilla.
my nexus 5 arrives monday! wooot woot!!
whant one :D
Best phone ever.
Because I’m a slut for Android, just like I’m a slut for Cruzer Lite.
I was lucky enough to get an order in for the Nexus 5. Looking for cases now so this contest has great timing.
Ordered mine yesterday just waiting for it to arrive!!
I wanted the latest Nexus goodness.
Im waiting on tmobile too get my nexus 5 . . . . .cant wait :)
No KitKat for my Galaxy Nexus, so time for an upgrade.
because my GN is apparently end of life and won’t get KitKat
Needing a phone with a non-cracked screen
I got a Nexus5 because you gotta stay pure and actually own your hardware…
I ordered the Nexus 5, because I am in love with Google. I buy EVERY Nexus device that comes out! :D
I’ve been waiting for this upgrade to my Galaxy Nexus!
Phone shipped already. Let it come Monday, let me be home….
<3 nexus 5 because it's a stock android
I ordered mine because I love the Nexus program.
Would love a case for my fresh Nexus! Keep it that way.
I’ve been waiting on the Nexus 5 to replace my aging Galaxy Nexus!
Bought 2 yesterday. Black32 for me, white16 for my wife. I had a nexus one before… What a change…
I was going to do the same, but ended up getting both as 32gb…. Now I’m considering using the white myself instead… It does look nice, and oily fingerprints might not be as visible on white.
I got a Nexus 5 because it should last me a couple of years.
switching to t-mobile, so need a new phone off contract
Want it! Galaxy Nexus needs to retire
Ordered because it’s the best phone on the market, and so I can move to TMO when my ATT contract is up.
I want it! I´d like to feel the pure android expirience!
I ordered because I am a Nexus addict and I needed my Fix.
Because its by far the best phone at the best price and allows me to use Solavei as my prepaid carrier http://www.solavei.com/msussman
Wouldn’t mind a case for my new Nexus 5!
I’ll pass and go for one of the clean looking ones from spiegen.
I always struggle with cases, but i did like the TPU case I had back on my Vibrant. Be happy to give this a try.
As for the N5, I’m still on the fence, but leaning toward a yes as I can get a high-end google experience for half the price of other similar unlocked phones.
Because what I really wanted was the LG G2 with stock Android and this gives me almost exactly that haha.
I am a trendsetter in need of a really awesome phone at a great price that is unlocked, stocked and ready to go!
Because I’ve been dealing with a Bionic for 2 years and wanted a true Google experience.
The only reason I bought a case for my N4 was the glass back. I liked the the bumper thing that was made better as I get to see the beauty of my pone that way. Hope they make similar bumper for the N5.
Awesome! I’ve bought cases from Cruzerlite for both my Nexus 4 & 7, and I can tell you their quality is amazing. I’d love to get a Cruzerlite case for the Nexus 5 too!
And why am I getting the Nexus 5? Simple: I think it’s the best phone out there now.
Android gives me freedom and lot of innovation happening in this space. Also, choices of phone sizes, price, etc all are favorable in Android space.
Dont have a nexus but I would love one!
I ordered the Nexus 5 because I’m sick of my Galaxy S III and want a stock android experience.
Come on, Phandroid. Show me some Nexus 5 love!
Nexus 5 is awesome! half the price of the g2, (nearly) same specs
Just ordered a Nexus 5 because my GNex isn’t getting KitKat… and because it looks amazing!!!
Cause Im a Nexus nerd. LOL!!!
I ordered the Nexus 5 because I have a brain and didn’t fall for Apple’s garbage iDevices.
I’ve had every Nexus so far… can’t stop now!
After note 2, I just don’t want the bloat. After getting a nexus 7… nexus line only from now on.
I ordered the Nexus 5 because its the pure experience from Google
It was time for an upgrade.
amazing phone
Did them all, fingers crossed! I love my N4’s Cruzerlite case.
commenting for a new case on an amazing phone
Loved my GNex, but was tired of the heating up, which also affected the battery life, and N4 was too breakable. Come to me my N5….. And case…..
It was time to upgrade. My Galaxy Nexus is still viable, but my wife will take it over. I also have Nexus One, Nexus 7 2012, Nexus 7 2013. The one time I strayed from the Google sourced Android builds was the T-Mobile G2x, and it was an unmitigated disaster. Swore to not buy any device that isn’t Nexus from then on, and hence now I have Nexus 5 on the way.
Whoa, I was ready to order a Google Play bumper, this may change my mind
EBay has TPU cases in the USA for as low as $5($3 from China, but obviously extra shipping time).
My galaxy nexus won’t officially get kit kat. So sad!
Awesome contest, I’ve been looking at the Cruzerlite cases but in the US they have more choice than abroad.
I ordered the Nexus 5 because I wanted to recieve the newest version of Android. I had the S3 and was ‘stuck’ on 4.1.2. Not much wrong with 4.1.2 but I wanted the new goodies!
Would love a case!
Left Verizon for T-mo
zomg can’t wait to order
InOtherNews: Cruzerlite had an Amazon promo code for the Note3 that dropped the price down to FREE. Needless to say… that lasted less than a day.
I ordered the New Nexus 5, as I have the nexus 4 and I want to give it too my wife and It gives me a really good excuse to buy a nexus 5
Been stuck on O2X since it first came out and tbh the phone was great but the software and support shoddy to say the least. Been waiting for a new phone to come out and nothing really took my fancy so moved to a sim-only deal 2 months ago which set me up perfectly for N5. All I have to do is now wait patiently for delivery *gimmie*
Bought a Nexus 5 for a few reasons:
1.) Updates, updates, updates.
2.) Snapdragon 800 beats the hell out of my Bionic’s OMAP
3.) I am ready to leave Verizon behind. Hello, T-Mobile!
Nexus 5! 5 of them woot!
Gave windows phone a try and yeah… Can’t wait to be back in the fold
Getting a nexus five to replace my galaxy nexus. So a case to go with it would be great!!! Love this site. (does kissing up help? :P )
Lost my GS3 in August and debated between Moto X and Nexus 5. Glad I held out :)
Too cheap to buy a top of the line phone so been using an old optimus v for past year or so waiting for this iteration of nexus
Sure why not
Replacing my good ol’ Gnex, which is finally ready to be put out to pasture.
I ordered the Nexus 5 as a replacement for my Galaxy Nexus device, which I seem to cause it to have a stroke every now and again with the multi-tasking I put it through day after day.
It may sound ridiculous but I talk anywhere from 3000-4000 mins a month and also text a few thousand messages a month, and in addition to multiple apps I need to access daily. It’s a must to have a phone that can keep up with all of that when running a business, so I guess I just needed to order a new brain after all of those strokes.
I’ll be getting one eventually so hooray!
I want to replace my N4 with the N5, because of the improved hardware. Especially always listening Google Now, FULL HD, Snapdragon 800.
I was about to order one, then I saw this giveaway.
I’ve been needing a new phone for a while cos the battery in my nexus s is well past being able to survive a full day on stand by, and it’s a good excuse to finally upgrade to the latest and gratest
nexus freak need all nexi
Colours suit the Nexus 5
Ordered because it’s simply the best phone for the price and I am at the stage where I must upgrade every year or I feel left behind. Maybe this will keep that feeling at bay, being a nexus.
Need off VZW!
I just wanted to see if mine would get delayed.
That bug droid circuit case looks hot
Missed opportunity to make Spi-Force kickstand look like an Android too! It would have been so easy, haha. I always have one or two of these cases though!
I want this phone so bad!
Definitely want
Great… a chance to win a case for something nobody currently has.
I don’t understand your point. Is it a complaint? People obviously ordered the phone and we’ll have it next week.
Bought an Androidified case in smoke yesterday immediately after ordering my N5. Would like to get a Bugdroid case in another color for when I’m feeling whimsical:-)
I ordered the Nexus 5 because I must have all the new gadgets!
Needed to replace my old S2
I ordered because it’s a Nexus, not an unwashed Android heathen.
Need to upgrade from Note II
I bought the nexus 5 because my nexus 4 is getting old and I need LTE
I am sick of Verizon’s BS and jumping ship!
give me the sky blue!
My Nexus 4 never disappointed other than LTE. Can’t wait to get my hands on the Nexus 5!
Woohoo those are some nice cases. As to why I bought the phone? I’ve been using a nexus tablet for the last year and love it
Thanks for this contest. Searching for a good case and a chance to win one is great. Nexus 5 was the best option out there, best value.
want this
woah, those are cool looking icons on the back
heck yeah! mostly I’m getting a Nexus 5 because it’s the latest and being on T-Mobile with nothing stopping me, I can!
I need a case please!
I want this. By the time time it reaches my home, I’ll have a Nexus 5 in my hands.
those are cool cases, want one for my nexus 5
why I want the nexus 5? same as everyone else – the updates!
I want and need
I had cruzerlite on my Galaxy Nexus so I would like to grab another one.
I got a Nexus 5 so I can navigate between carriers easily. Thanks for the opportunity!
I ordered it because I want to always have the latest software
And people wonder why android is called cheap. People going crazy over a 12.00 item wow :'( I hate apple but the amount of cheapness here made me sad
comment +1
Needed a new phone!
Cause a Nexus 5 is one better than my Nexus 4
Black or white? Doesn’t matter…I’ll take a Nexus 5!!
N5 for the updates!
This is siiiiiiick! Wouldd love to get my hands on one
The Nexus 5 is awesome!
Mine is on the way
Cruzerlite,
Cruzerlite,Cruzerlite
I used a Cruzerlite Androidified case for the N4. Of course I want one for the N5!
Because the price is just unbeatable for a Nexus device with these specs! And having 4.4 KitKat is just awesome!
I bought the Nexus 5 because the price is just right and I needed a new phone :).
It’s the perfect phone for what i need: affordable and powerful
its affordable premium luxury phone …..yeaaaaah
I bought the nexus 5 because I love pure android and I love to always have the latest and greatest android. And it’s affordable! :)
Best phone for $400 buck
I got it b/c my EVO 3D was on its last leg… and I am ready for a pure Android experience. I was so close to getting the HTC one this year.. but for some reason, it just didn’t excite me!
Looking to upgrade from the G2x, a not bad phone which was crippled by lack of software updates. Cruzerlite looks to have some nice Nexus 7 cases, so the Nexus 5 is a good place to continue.
i love google and stock android so i ordered as soon as i hear the phone was out :)
Love Google and Android…had to get the Nexus 5!!
I didn’t get it I just want the cover , because that way i might feel a bit closer to getting one !
Because it is a Nexus and it has good C/P value
I bought the Nexus 5 after 2.5 years with my Nexus S 4g. Had to hold out for a Nexus that would work on Sprint.
ciao
I’d love one for my White 32GB Nexus 5 =)
updates
Goes well with my Nexus 10.
i’ve had cruzerlite cases for for galaxy nexus and nexus 4. plan on getting one or more for my nexus 5. would love a giveaway though :)
I ordered the Nexus 5 because I live in Google’s world and love their version of Android.
Because I was tired of my Galaxy Nexus.
Like Kyle said, I needed an upgrade from my Galaxy Nexus
It’s a Google world for me!
What up nexus 5
It’s a Nexus nuff said
I don’t want to break it when I finally get it.
Because I want a cute unique case!
I would love to have a case for my Nexus 5 I just ordered! My HTC Incredible S is falling apart.
Dual-band WiFi, LTE, DSP, Snapdragon 800, need I go on?
multi carrier option, and latest hardware
unlocked, pentaband 4G, carrier free updates, looks sexy !
Awesome! I love these cases. My wife would love it on her new nexus 5. Thanks phandroid whether I win or not!
Freedom of choice and no bloatware!
My Nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus had cruzerlite cases, my Nexus 5 should as well!
I bought the nexus 5 because it is fast, quality, cheap, off contract ( means i can spend only $5-10 per month on plan ) and also pure android.
lol what plan is that, that you only have to spend $5-10 a month on.
Platinum tel at ptel.com (real paygo plan) I use about 60 minutes minimal data(wifi is my best friend) and 100 texts per month which makes it about 7 dollars with their rates.
My current phone is barely able to hold one or two apps.
I ordered it cause its cheap pure android my blackberry broke and it sucked.
I always recommend their cases. also bought one for a friend for his birthday.
I ordered because of the pure Google experience!
I love it cuz it’s vanilla KITKAT!!
For the love of Android!
Finally giving Android another go since Gingerbread. Looking forward to it..
Love for Kit Kat!
hardware + price + pure android
Great value :)
Hardware beast + Great looking + Future Proof!
I ordered the Nexus 5 because……….ah come on everyone knows the reason why. It’s a universal truth that the Nexus 5 is a great VFM droid right now in the market because of its mammoth specs at a very reasonable price. The bottom-line is that the Nexus 5 is the new uncrowned king of smartphones. Further explanations need an entire page, so I’m backing out now. Good luck everyone.
Red or green one would be fine.
its awesome i want to feel the new and pure google expirience :)
Because is awsome and is a Google Phone
Because my daughter wants my GNex!
Just ordered my white nexus 5!
That’s simple: I’ve been tracking this phone since the day Google wanted to keep it a secret. Now if only I could get an amazing case from Cruzerlite via Phandroid….
I have been waiting for this!!!! Love my nexus 7 and do not expect anything else for the nexus 5
Is the best smartphone for me, I love android stock rom!
Because it’s the pure Android experience.
Ordered a Nexus 5 because, well, it’s a Nexus 5. Also, because my Galaxy Nexus screen is cracked because I DIDN’T have a Cruzrerlite case!
Because nexus e’s are just better
It’s the best Nexus device yet.
Best performance for the price of any smartphone on the market.
VANILLA ANDROID BABY!
I picked one up so I can finally leave VZW.
Honestly, this would be my first Android device
Unlocked, latest android and great price is why I am getting a N5
Moving from Apple to Android, thank goodness
Testing it out, I have a Moto X…just wanna see the difference for myself.
I’m a Google wh*re.
In nexus I trust
It’s awesome!
Just bought a Nexus 5! Hope I win…
Hope I win! Actually havn’t bought it yet. Didn’t manage to order on time.
I’m getting a nexus to enjoy the pure Google experience right out of the box.
Cause I just love stock Android and I want KitKat SO bad!!
Ordered because stock android, insane specs for the price, and the developer support
Got a Nexus 5 to finally replace my old flip phone
Got a nexus 5 cuz I have an Optimus s
After using android for 4 years now, I am fed up with all the extra apps and costume UIs that manufacturers use on their devices. Nexus 5 has none of that and it has great specs for a great price !
I ordered the Nexus 5 because I sold my developer edition htc one for over 600 and the nexus 5 cost me 400. Made 200, not too bad.
nexus 5 has the best value / $
I needed to replace my aging and no longer (and never really) supported VZW GNex.
I haven’t ordered one yet, I might end up skipping this gen, but just because of current funds. The camera on this one is enough to make me want to upgrade from my N4, though.
I ordered the Nexus 5 because I want to get away from my carrier ATT contract… will be switching to TMobile and no more phone payments, woo!
I just found out that AT&T has an option for $60 for unlimited talk, text and 2gb/mo.
This is for prepaid version w/o contract.
The nexus 5 has made me see the light and stop paying for the subsidy of a phone I never bought.
I got mine so that I can say goodbye to Verizon, bloatware, and slow updates!
I just love stock android and all the features that are included in the os and I’ve been analyzing rumors ever since the first leak so Yeah I’m drooling over this phone
Because I love the Nexus line
Most cost efficient new phone for a tmobile user.
Nexus always bring us the next android
crawling out from underneath my rock, and finally getting data. planning to leave verizon and going for a pure delicious vanilla android experience with t-mobile. CANNOT WAIT.
My new Xperia Z was stolen from me (for the second time!). For now, I’m using my ugly ass back up phone Galaxy Mini (the horror!), because I can’t afford a new high end phone. Winning the nexus 5 will make me forget that this thing ever happened.
They’re giving away the case, not the phone. Hope that makes you forget you ever commented on here
The display of my Nexus 4 is broken…. so I must need a new phone… Nexus 5 is the best alternative :D
I love Nexus series :)
No one can beat Google when they offer a top-tier device for 350 bucks.
switching to android from apple
It’s a gift for my girlfriend <3
Because I am craving for Nexus 5
It’s my first Android! :)
Great phone for a great price, and my current phone is an ageing Nexus S
I have a Zopo zp980, hw is near a Nexus 4, but winning a Nexus 5 would be great!
I had to have LTE so the Nexus 4 wouldn’t work for me. Nexus 5 is a no brainer. Finally, my first Nexus phone!
I got caught up in the hype
Nothing is better than a new Nexus ^^
Lte on the cheap!… And 4 is a bad luck number.
simple design with a simple price.
its new
5 seems to be the sweet spot for specs and I have always wanted a pure vanilla android device.
affordable
I needed a new phone and this was priced and timed well. :)
Awesome phone
coz its damn sexy
I would have been nicer if you contest Spigen Neo Hybrid cases instead http://www.newtechplanet.com/android/the-best-nexus-5-case/
Thank you ! I participate !
His price. For 350$, this is the best android device.
best android device to date. i didint order one yet though ;(
I ordered since the Nexus 4 does not support LTE and speed is exciting….
Because my Gnex is now not officially supported and it’s time to move on
I was mainly attracted to the new shiny. But I’m on Verizon w/ an S3 and have another 10 months or so left on my contract; started looking at alternative services and realized I could be saving a LOT of money by going pre-paid. Enough to easily offset the cost of the ETF.
I ordered the nexus 5 because it’s a great phone for an even better price!
nexus 5 in the mail want it now! :)
I wanttt
Who could turn down a 5 inch screen phone with a Snapdragon 800 SoC for $400?! That’s a lot better than those iPhones :P
I purchased a Nexus 5 to beat out my brother’s S4
I have a Nexus 7 and love it, and want a Nexus for my phone!
Can’t wait for my N5 to arrive — hope it lives up the standard set by the Nexus 7!
Looks great! Love the Nexus line because I always want the latest OS quickly.
kitkat
Wow! Am so excited! My Nexus 5 is in the mail. Arrival in three weeks, now down to two days! Can you believe it!? And now a Cruzerlite case to top it off. I know…., but ” life is good”!
I would love a new case to go along with my N5
*eats a kit kat* om nom nom
So excited for this!
Android is the best there is !!
Kitkat sounds good
Never had a Nexus before and wanted to have the newest version of Android.
Want to taste one :)
