Well worth it, wireless charging is just a plus

This mod provides a premium feel to the phone. It almost replaces the premium feel of the phone without a mod. The ink stamp is a little disappointing, but the texture of the fabric is worth overlooking this branding after thought. The wireless charging has been hit or miss for me. It might be the charging base, might be the mod, might be the phone. However, the feel of this mod on the phone is well work the purchase if you are spending the day at in and not out and about.

I bought this to use with my Moto Z 2 and the Moto Style wireless charging mod. I am not sure where the issue is, but it has been hit or miss when charging the phone. Could be the mod, or could be this charger doesn't work well with the wireless mod.

Motorola does it again
on May 17, 2017
Posted by: jecrobins
Verified Purchase:Yes
Being an unlocked phone user, it has been difficult to locate a phone that i was happy with using. Prior to this purchase I picked up a Huawei Honor 5 x, WORST MISTAKE EVER! I finally decided to pick up the Moto X Pure and after a few days remembered why I originally used Motorola devices exclusively. I LOVE the phone and it is very similar to my Nexus 6. Of course, Motorola has put some bloatware on the phone that replicates most native Google apps. But, these are easily disabled. Just a note to the wise. If you use Motorola's voice assistance, you will not be able to use Google Now voice assistance. It took me a day to figure out why I Google Now was not launching when i said "OK, Google."
It didn't ship with an OEM charger, which most people have noted. But, it is still a Quick Charge or Turbo Charge adapter. It is an OEM Samsung adapter and it works perfectly. I do not understand the frustration I have read in other reviews. I still have the Quick Charge adapter from my Nexus 6 and it works fine. I suppose missing the logo on the charger case just eats some people's lunch.

Perfect as non-primary keyboard
on May 17, 2017
Posted by: jecrobins
Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted to tuck my laptop below my desk to gain some real estate the 17" behemoth was taking up. I don't need the laptop all the time, but didn't want to pull it out and open it up every time i needed to work on it either. This resolved the issue no problem. However, I could not imagine using this as a primary keyboard all the time. If you have an issue with "fat fingers" and type wildly. This product is probably not for you.

I made the massive mistake of purchasing a laptop without Bluetooth support. I bought the dongle to provide this and have not been disappointed. It is low profile which comes in handy as the laptop is tucked away below the desk.

Honestly just a mouse to finish my Surface setup..
on March 17, 2017
Posted by: jecrobins
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is honestly just a mouse that is purchased to match your preexisting Surface setup. The lack of dedicated back and forward buttons, something I have grown accustomed to is a little jarring. It has the same premium feel as the keyboard and Surface Book. The mouse has the same reliability as I have come to expect from Microsoft technology. I really enjoy the minimalist aesthetic, but the lack of functionality leaves me wanting more. I would recommend to a friend only if they were a completionist and just had to have it to finish their setup, like I did. But, if you want a mouse with a lot of bells and whistles, this is not the mouse. For my purposes however, it is excellent!

Create emails and documents with this Microsoft Surface keyboard. The Bluetooth capability lets you connect wirelessly to your computer within a 50-foot range for greater movement, and the optimized feedback lets you depress the keys silently so you won’t disturb others. This Microsoft Surface keyboard has full-sized keys for comfortable, accurate typing.

Very nice...

Picked up the keyboard and mouse to go with my Surface Book. They make a nice edition and have the same premium feel as the Book. My only hang up is the location of the PrtScn key. I might be a sloppy typist, but I constantly strike it while trying to back space. Other than that, key travel and return is amazing.

Not for the Surface Book w/ Performance Base
on December 27, 2016
Posted by: jecrobins
Verified Purchase:Yes
This case is tough and looks decent. However, if you have a Surface Book with Performance Base and not the Discrete GPU, this case is not for you. I am giving it three stars because it was not easily determinable if the case would work with the new base or not.
Although I was able to get the case to work with my Surface Book, it required the use to an Exacto knife and needle files. Even with the modifications I had to perform to get this case to work. I am still pleased with it after a month.

Do I need the wireless charging pad to charge this phone or can I just use the charger I use for our other android phones that plugs into the wall?

You need a wireless pad to charge the phone with the wireless charging capabilities of this mod. However, it does not block the USB type-c port. So you can still use the cable and the wall adapter to charger while the mod is installed.

Make hands-free calls and listen to music with these Sony wireless in-ear sport headphones. The wireless design frees your range of motion, and the microphone makes conversations more convenient. Listen to music for over 8 hours on a single charge with these Sony wireless in-ear sport headphones, which are moisture-resistant for use during strenuous workouts.
 

Can I activate iPhone Siri from the headphones?

Yep! Just be sure to purchase the item compatible with Apple products. I use a iPhone 4c for work and use the inline controls without issue. You can use Siri by holding the middle button down. Just like holding the home button on your phone.

Is this phone the same as a nexus 6p

Good Lord no!

These phones are on completely different levels in the context of hardware and price points. Just compare the specs side-by-side. The Honor 5x is a economy phone that actually performs well and has a solid build quality. The Nexus 6p is a flagship phone that will dominate the Honor 5x, unless you want to compare stock Android with EMUI. There is simply nothing to compare on these two handsets, but if the price point is what you are stuck with it is an okay phone. I was using a Nexus 6, and that handset was still more robust than the Honor 5x in my opinion.

Is this phone new?

I purchased my Honor 5x new in-store with the correct packaging. It was not a refurbished device.

is this cell ready to use w/o any additional adjustments (fully unlocked) in Israel? and does it come with a 220v adaptor?

I purchased the phone in store in the U.S. and it did not come with 220v adapter or with a converter. I was provided with a single 110v adapter in the packaging. I was able to insert by SIM and start using immediately.
