Will the cradle accommodate a Nexus 5 phone with its impact case on, or do you have to remove the phone from the case before mounting it?

It depends on the case. The cradle has a removable part that makes it bigger to accommodate a phone with case. It works fine for my phone, Nexus 5 with a typical rubber case. A solid plastic case would probably not fit but I have not tested that.

Totally depends on the case. I have the google cover case. It does not fit without removing the case. My wife has an open face case and it fits ok.

This will work best with the impact case removed. It doesn't quite fit in right with the impact case on.

i had a very slim case from Spigen and it did not work, so i assume its safe to say your impact case will probably not work also.

I had to grab my phone to check this out for myself. I have not yet experienced any issues with the case design interfering with any aspect of the phone's performance. Specifically, the first instance of dragging things to the side of the screen that I could think to test was icons around the home screens. The Nexus 5 actually has very substantial side panels when dragging icons (it zooms out from your home screens and widens the side panel response areas) so the case design poses no problem. Is there a more specific example of interference you could provide?

There is a removable piece in the cradle to allow for some type small case however I had an otter box case and it was too large.

I'm using it with the Nexus 5, which is close to identical in size. And I have a bumper case around it. It works great for me. Very happy with it.

There is an insert in the cradle that takes up the space an average-thickness phone cover would normally take up. To use the cradle with a phone that has a cover on it, just take out the insert (easily snaps in and out). That being said, there's no guaranty your particular cover will work with it.

The way the RAM Mounts work is a ball and socket, the cradle has a 1/2 ball on the back of it maybe you could cut it off? Or unbolt i don't remember or have the cradle handy to look otherwise I would. Maybe just look online for the RAM mount website or an online brochure.

My phone is a Nexus 4 with bumper and it fits very nicely. Sorry, I can't speak to the Nexus 5.

It has been my experience that NFC is rendered unusable with the battery case on. I tried it with both wireless audio streaming pairing, as well as tap to pay purchasing, both of which work before and after using the battery case. Now, I am *not* saying don't buy this case. I highly recommend it. It's just not going to allow you to use NFC when it's on your Nexus 5.

I guess that would depend on how dexterous you are. The spring tension is pretty strong so it might be easier to take the mount off to remove the phone. The way I have it set up is that the mount is holding a Google Qi wireless charger, and the magnets in the charger hold my Nexus 5 phone. If I were taking my phone in and out of the Kenu directly, several times a day, I would probably find that annoying. Hope that helps.

I don't know but it fits perfectly and I see no difference in the weight of the phone when using it. I do have to take it off when I want to use the Nexus charging Orb. They say if you use the official Nexus bumper it works fine but I couldn't find one.

there is a piece on the mount that can be removed if you are using a protective shell on your phone so it will fit.

The cradle only mounts to Ram Mount accessories. You need the diamond mount with ball, Ram Mount arm of your choice and Ram mount attachment of your choice.

im not sure. it is a little loose on my nexus 5 so would say it would be a little loose?

Hi - Sorry, I only have an iPhone. Not familiar w/ the sizing of the Nexus 5. That being said, the case fits the iP5 like a glove so if the Nexus is a larger phone I would have to say it would not fit. You may consider contacting the company that makes the unit. It's fantastic. By far the best case on the market. ........on a side note, the earphone bud connection is at the bottom of the unit, so depending on where the earphone port is on the Nexus 5, you may have an issue even trying the case out for the heck of it.

the mount included attaches to the windshield. The cradle remains in place when you remove the unit.

I have the larger one and use it for my nexus 7 tablet and also for my Nexus 5. I simply rotate the mount so that the phone is held horizontal to the floor instead of vertical. So my answer would be it depends on how you want to mount the phone. I'd purchase the 5.5 mount if I wanted to mount the phone along its width and rotate it as needed.

Not sure, a bit big for the nexus 5, could fit a 5" phone. It has held up to daily carry, so it's a good buy
