    That's some expensive drunkenness, my man. Makes absolute sense, but it's still funny Moreover, the cheaper the phone, the sturdier it is (most frequently).
  2. Can't be too cheap. Still needs to be able to get on here or check scores etc etc.

  3. Asha rings a bell? Or Lumia 5XX like you say

    Done that to my Nexus 4, and woke up the next morning devastated. That was the second time, first time I was sober but half asleep walking to work.
  5. The Nexus 4 is another disaster waiting to happen. I haven't found a case I'm happy with and I'm not buying any more until I see what the Nexus 5 is all about.
  6. Nokia wireless charger works a treat on both Nexus 4 & 7. Even with the Nexus 7's thick Dodocase. A great purchase.
  7. The Nexus 5 looks great but I'm going to wait until it's cheaper, or when/if I smash my Nexus 4.

    The official bumper I have has saved my ass a couple of times. Never really thought it would but it's proved itself.
  8. The plastic construction of the 5 is a plus over the 4 in my opinion but the resale price of the 4 isn't great so I think I'll keep it too until it gets destroyed when dropped.
  9. Gotta love the inherent drunk nature of this posts

    Rubber/plastic bumpers are really worth their price, Kieran. Both my mum and dad have saved their iPhones several times due to a properly placed bumper. They're really worth it!
  10. The official N4 one was always a little pricey I felt. I haven't came across anything else decent though so I suppose I'll have to take the plunge.
  11. I got mine for £7 and also have a back up one from the Phone Shop manager in Tesco as a rep sometimes comes in and hands out freebies.
  12. I came here to ask about the Nexus 4, as I really need a new phone, then read your conversation.

    It costs €349, which is £298 and $482. That includes an official bumper.

    Obviously, the glass back is risky, but as Kieran said, the bumper might save my ass. Other than that, it looks like a nice phone.

    Should I buy it?
