Ola,
Wasn't planning on getting one, but as all my previous USB 2.0 chargers from Samsung devices don't work with the Nexus 5 I need to get a new charger or two.

Are the
 
Why don't they work? My nexus 5 should be here today...Is the charger not the same generic microUSB charger?

same size, and they do charge the N5, just painfully slowly (about 1% every 20/30 minutes). Different wattage or amps or something.
 
I had purchased from Amazon for my Nexus 4 this one:
GMYLE(TM) White enabled Wireless Charging Pad Charger with 1000mA (1A) output & DC Port (US Plug) for Standard Nokia Lumia 920/920T/925/928/1020, LG Google Nexus 4/5/7 FHD, Samsung Galaxy S4, iPhone 5

Before anyone gets their knickers in a wad over the charger power cable, they have a model for a little bit more that uses microUSB as a source. I have been 100% happy with this one, and the reviews posted must have included some older versions. I am getting a couple more to put around the house (office, bedroom etc) and at my work office. I figure if they last half as long as the big names I'm still ahead. Charges almost as fast as the wall wart through a Spigen Slim Armor and the Spigen Slim Ultra (we're a two Nexus 5 family!). Happy hunting!
 
great charger... just wanted to drop in to say its the only charger i use and i have 3 now. it charges fast, and doesn't make my phone get hot unlike other chargers.

BTW what case is that? im diggin it
That's a SPIGEN SLIM ARMOR case - my wife uses that one, we also have the "gold" one.
Nice, but too bulky for me, I kept accidentally pressing the power or volume controls when it was in my belt case. SPIGEN Ultra Slim case works better for me.
 
I just ordered the nexus orb from last year on Amazon. Heard it works much better on the nexus 5 than the 4. We will see tomorrow.
