Spigen Nexus 5 Case Ultra Fit

Hi again folks,

since had some minor cracks in my body's frame, I decided to order new case for my device. When doing some research, my priorities were basically black colored lightweight version with premium quality. After comparing various products, I finally ended up to Spigen's Nexus 5 Case Ultra Fit which I ordered directly from Spigen's online store.

Before deciding from which store I'd order Spigen's case, I ended up to Spigen's own online store for following reasons: guarantying genuine product (compared to fake alternatives from eBay or Amazon) and decent price shipping included.

Since product's price without shipping expenses would be below 22 EUR (approx 25 USD), shipment from non-EU location wouldn't land to customs here in Finland, I decided to order case from US.

Shipment confirmation included shipment tracking number, so I was able to follow my shipment via USPS tracking service which was relatively accurate even though it didn't notify me when shipment landed to airport in Finland.

Shipping duration was approx 7 days, didn't that much calculate more accurate duration.

Total cost was approx 18.5 EUR (21 USD).



Here's some unboxing photos from Spigen's case I'm currently using in my device.

Android 5.1.1 LMY48B improves battery durability

Hola folks,

as you might have noticed, Google has released new fw version for Hammerhead also known as Nexus 5. Latest release goes with 5.1.1 LMY48B build version and it's possible to download from Google Developers site under the title Factory Images for Nexus Devices. After a bit scrolling, it's possible to find device called "hammerhead" for Nexus 5 (GSM/LTE).

There's also brief factory image installation instructions on that specific site but in case you've noticed, my previous post provides alternative source for those instructions.

Quick sights from latest release

After a couple of days usage, I'd notice significant improvement compared to previous release 5.1 LMY47D. With latest version runtime more than 24 hours, free RAM has settled to approx 1.1GB which is 10-15% improvement from previous version when measuring my personal use.

Some remarks from battery usage

Here's average battery durability from 3 charges' average value. Battery lasted 25-30 hours with roughly 3 hour SOT (Screen On Time). And about my daily use in general, each email's push in every 15 minutes and all social media apps' has active push meaning when new message arrives to Facebook, phone let's me know it asap. Also some web browsing and Facebook basically every freaking day without forgetting minor video streaming from Youtube.
