      Just wanted to say thanks to Thor79! I've been thinking about getting a NFC ring for my Nexus 5 and I use the exact same case (plus a bit of paper inbetween) and I was wondering how well it worked.

      It's a little disappointing to see that it doesn't work great, but I'm glad to hear that it's at least do-able. Time to scrape together some funds.

      I'm actually sending mine back to them for them to test it and possibly replace it. One side of my ring has given out completely. The other side is still quite sensitive even with everything off the phone (no case, no dbrand vinyl skin).

    • RE: Nexus 5

      I just got my 'stand in' signature alpha ring last night (while I wait for my stealth bomber). I tried it on my Nexus 5, but the only way to get it to work is by removing my case, and even then it is quite sensitive at the sweet spot (bottom left of the phone if looking at the back). I have a Ringke Fusion case, which has a slim sheet of clear plastic on the pack to allow the back of the phone to show through. It isn't much more than a bumper case. This is apparently enough to block the signal from reaching the Alpha ring though. I'd really like it if I didn't have to remove this case.

      edit: playing with it a bit more...it seems one side of my ring (and I can't tell the difference between the two sides visually) is picked up easier than the other side with the case on. It's still quite sensitive though with the case on. I'm going to give it a go with trying the stronger side as my unlock key.
