So after using my N6 for a while I'm totally loving the size. My N5 feels absolutely tiny now. And it's not even remotely difficult to hold the N6.

Ah hah, I can get it to work without a case like that, it seems like a very very very tiny sensitive spot where it works. I can't get it to work with the Diztronic case unfortunately like I could on the Nexus 5, this would be lovely and basically useless if I have to take the case off to charge.

Hm, I have one of those Nokia pads that went for like $5 last summer, and my N6 charges through my diztronic case.

I use the DT-900 with my N5 and it works great. I got it when ATT had a special deal for accessories online, it was basically buy 3 for the price of one. They work great but not sure I would pay that for one. No idea how it works with the N6.

This is what I have, and that I can confirm charges through a Diztronic TPU case on a N6. But really, don't spend that much on a flat qi charger. Once you use a Vu or similarly tilted charger it's hard to go back, I just use the Nokia pad by my desk where it would normally just be sitting there anyway.

My Spigen Neo Hybrid case for the N6 got all stretched out and useless after taking it off once. Same thing happened with my Note 3 version. Why can't anyone make a decent actually-protective case besides Otterbox?

I ordered a Diztronic due to goon recommendation but it doesn't seem like enough. I have nerve damage and constantly drop my poo poo.

I dropped my N5 with a diztronic TPU case and glass screen protector on it a lot. A lot a lot. I cracked the glass screen protector preeetty early in my ownership of it. Took it off for a battery issue RMA, screen was perfect. There were minor scratches on the corners of the phone from dust and poo poo getting under the case and rubbing it, but I rarely took it off, and worked in dirty environments, so that might not be the same for you.

I've found a TPU case + glass screen protector to be a really, really good balance of protection while adding very little bulk.

My first Android phone, the EVO 4G, had wireless charging via a replacement backplate and USB bridge. It caused a small lump on the bottom, but not a big deal. Most cases even fit - and worked - with it. The charge rate was nothing special, but it worked and it was so loving awesome I couldn't believe wireless charging fell off the face of the planet (with intermittent mentions) until recently.

It's extremely strange to me that wireless charging isn't commonplace by now. This poo poo is life changing.

Had anyone had a problem with their Nexus 5 not recognizing a sim card? I went to sell mine last night and the dude popped his sim in, nothing. Restarted, nothing. A second factory reset, nothing. Tried my sim from my Nexus 6, nothing.

This is a phone that I used as a daily until I got my Nexus 6, and it's just been sitting there waiting to get sold. Worked perfectly fine before. Why would it suddenly not read a sim? The phone is useless now, I'm stuck with a brick.

It'll stick to either your window or dash. I just chose the dash initially.

The base is a suction cup, but it also has adhesive on it.

The way the product sheet on tylt website describes it makes it sound like it's the same material as the stuff that's on the iOttie mounts. Does the instruction say anything about being able to 'renew' the adhesive by simply washing it and letting it dry?

The iOttie stuff mounts on my (slightly springy) faux leather dash without much of an issue (pops off occasionally after a sunny day in a parking lot, but goes right back on no problem).



This is all there is about the suction cup.
