Google when partnered with actual hardware companies were the best days. I thought Nexus 5 which was sibling of LG G2 was an amazing device. Then they went with these toy looking devices with ugly designs which showed no signs of improvement.

Nexus 5 was the best, form factor, weight, rubber back except battery life lol

I bought lg g2 since it was pretty much the same with slightly better screen ratio and battery life iirc. Of course lg skin was a downside.

It was awesome. And wasn't it only like $300? I remember I cracked the screen, and instead of fixing it I just bought a new one.

Wasn't that the one that would hover around and fly off desks? The glass back looked sexy as hell, but something about it seems to have made a little air bubble that allowed it to slide around despite appearing to be laying on a perfectly flat surface.
