RE: Alpha Signature Size
My classic is a size 10.5 and it almost slips off of my middle finger (especially now that it is getting cold out) when I shake my hand around, so when I ordered an alpha the first day we could in size 10. My alpha is snug on my middle finger and is only a little tougher to take off when my hand is hot, couldn't ask for much better. I don't wear many rings but I would assume if 7.5 is difficult to get off your finger 8 may be about right.

RE: Phone sweet spot list *please check before posting*
@david-pinto From what I read at the NFC World website the Moto G doesn't have NFC, so therefore would not work with the ring. You should still check in the Settings if you have an option to turn NFC on under "Wireless & Networks" -> "More..." since I think there are a couple of versions of the model(at least one with and one without LTE radio).

RE: Google removing NFC unlock feature
This is extremely disappointing to hear, I have been using NFC Rings since the first time it was on Kickstarter. I do not agree with using biometric authentication so now I am stuck with the old password/PIN. I do not understand what sort of problem it was causing that would make them remove it; if most people don't use, it how is turning it off going to solve anything?

RE: Playing with three.js
Awesome, works very well on my GTX 470 graphics card. Are you going to make an alpha sized one as well? (I am really hoping that the alpha size goes up for sale soon because I would love to buy one!)

RE: Moto X
I noticed on my Moto x that it only reads the ring when the device is locked too, but it is a good thing. On my old galaxy nexus it would randomly try to read the ring when I didn't want it to. As another side bonus using it as a skip there is no sound that the tag was read when it unlocks no matter what the volume seeing is.

RE: Shipping Time Question
I live in Maryland and I believe that it took two weeks for mine to be delivered, plus I didn't have a federal holiday weekend, so I wouldn't worry yet.

RE: Both inlays are sort of dead
The first side that died on my ring has one deep scratch in it, but it doesn't look like it reached the inlay. After that scratch I was extra cautious not to do it again on the second side, but it still died. Glad to know yours has survived all those marks in the pictures.

RE: Both inlays are sort of dead
@asbath I am glad to hear your ring has made it through that much ultimate, I have only thrown a frisbee a few times so it may just have been the glue like you said. I am still trying to remember everything that I have done around the time they died incase it is something I did and not just the glue, after all I don't want to keep replacing it every few weeks.

RE: Both inlays are sort of dead
@Zackis I got my new ring in the mail on May 20th, I just waited until now to post this because I kept the original and the second side still worked until yesterday.

Both inlays are sort of dead
The first couple weeks after receiving my classic titanium black/black ring it worked great on both sides, but since then the sides have sort of died. When I thought the first side died (unlock side) I found that it actually had just become way less sensitive, to the point where it would take a few minutes of moving around to get it sensed rather that instantly like before. I changed the other side to unlock, and about a week later the same thing. I tried a nfc info app on the sides, and it can't even sense the first side that sort of died anymore so I assume it is completely dead now. Multiple times I tried the ring on my old Galaxy Nexus and it had identical results so it is not my Moto X's nfc chip. When anyone on here says that their ring has died, do they mean 100% or has it just become way duller like mine started to?
I have a new one already, but I wanted to ask if things like outdoor stuff like throwing a Frisbee would effect it? I thought when the first side had sort of died it might have been because I may have sat it near a fridge magnet sitting on my table, but since the same thing happened to the other side now I assume that wasn't the cause. I really loved the ring while it lasted I just want to make sure I do everything I can to not let the new one go bad too. If I can keep the new one from dying as fast as the first one I hope to buy an alpha one once the pre-orders are up.
