Here is the spot on the Nexus 5X

I haven't tried my old ring yet as I'm waiting for my new ring.
It does work great with my key chain tag.

Nice :)

The last Kickstarter almost all users were told to post here, I post here & now you tell me to post on Kickstarter...lol

I was just wondering when the new rings will be shipped, I don't remember reading anything about it. Will Kickstarter be first or Vouchers..??

I know from what I've read the the new ceramic rings hold more data, but is the strength of the NFC signal the same..??
What I'm asking is, will the new ring work better on my Nexus 4 than the old ring design..??

Got my voucher - cheers.

Some links send me to the store -- but the store doesn't have the new rings, and no mention of voucher, and doesn't recognise my login (which works fine here... I thought we moved to single sign on a while back?).

Some links send me to kickstarter - especially the http://nfcring.com/2016/ link that redirects to www.kickstarter.com , but none of the wording there implies anything about the voucher. It seems like rather mixed messages. If the (second) kickstarter fails to reach it's target are the vouchers still valid?

(PS: I still find this forum's visual style to be horribly unreadable & unintuitive)

From the email:

The 2016 Rings wont be available until they go live on the store, but you will get an email before anyone else when this happens.

What will the voucher consist of?
We will issue you a voucher to the original order value of the ring from your pledge. So if you pledged £15 for a stealth bomber ring and we provided you an alternative ring, you will get a £15 voucher. Pretty cool huh? Collection folks will get the value of that ring from the collection, we value each ring from the collection at £15 so you will get a voucher of £15 per substitution.

Got my voucher today, thanks for doubling it...I'm sure this will make a lot of the NFC Ring 1 users happy.

Well, it's been almost a year since anyone posted...any news..??
What about us users that are still waiting...??

@IBBoard_
shama is right, mine is shaded out until I set up a Pin..than it becomes active...but I've never used it.
I'm also not sure if it comes with the OTA update or not, I flashed the factory image.

@Francesco I use the Ringke Fusion: http://www.amazon.com/RINGKE-Selling-Absorption-Scratch-Premium/dp/B00B7QGT6U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417445165&sr=8-1&keywords=nexus+4+ringke+fusion

I have Trigger: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jwsoft.nfcactionlauncher installed..it has an options to turn off NFC sound, but I've never used that option.

I have the Alpha...with the case it's like 75-80%...without about 95%.
It does get annoying as hell sometimes ;)

Sometimes you have to press the ring to the case, not just tap it.
Do you have a normal or alpha ring..??

App seems fine, no problems...but I really don't like seeing the '?' in the upper right corner. I think that after it is 1st viewed it should disappear or maybe time it out after 48 hours or something.

I have the same setup as you...N4 with the Ringke Fusion case. I upgraded to the Alpha ring when it was suggested it might work better with the N4. It does work with the case, no need to roll it or anything like that, but you do need to press it to the back of the case...not just touch it. It works about 90% of the time with the case on, when you learn to press it & 100% of the time without the case.

@ shama: User didn't say he ordered White, they just mentioned Carbon Fiber.

I ordered a CF ring also, but my temp ring came last week...so I don't think changing anything will make things faster....it just happened our orders came towards the end.

Without a case makes a huge difference with the Nexus 4 w/Alpha ring.

Well, my ring came & I've used it a little...hit or miss so far with the case. I'll try it later with the case off to see how much if any is improved.
Also, I've been using a key chain tag for awhile now & know my sweet spot pretty good. & works every time...the key tag will be my backup if I have any problems.

I got a shipping notice on June 3rd but haven't received my ring yet. I'm in the U.S.

Should I be concerned?

I got my letter on June 23rd, haven't seen my ring yet either.
Someone posted on KS that their ring came from the UK not the US distribution center.
