Does this work with the existing metal pieces in the Nexus 5? I don't want to put a piece of metal in front of my NFC (I actually use NFC).

No. It does hold, but it is very week hold. A sharp turn, a speed bump, or a gravel road will shake off the mount. You definitely need the plate; but the plate will interfere with wireless charging if you don't place it perfectly.... so if you use a wireless charger at home or at the office, honestly i'd avoid this item.

I have the same question though my concern is with Qi wireless charger. Anyone tried it out?

Not compatible with the nexus 5 at all, nexus 5 is not compatible with mifare classic tags

No, but it may also melt your Nexus 5 as it did mine. Seriously. It melted a spot on mine. Avoid this like the plague, avoid the entire brand as they never responded to my concerns about the damage done to my phone.

Well thats a good question, I bought it for a Samsung Galaxy S4 and it works great!! i love it, now i do not use it all the time, just certain occasions.. It holds a few cards, ID, and Credit/Gas cards as well as a couple of 20 dollar bills. I believe you will like it for your Nexus 5, good Luck Scotty.Nath

I two different chargers with a Galaxy S4 and S5. Once I found the sweet spot, both phones work well with both chargers even with covers. I installed receivers in both phones. If your Nexus has the receiver, it should work. I also discovered not all usb adapters work the same. Some are stronger than others, and it makes a big difference. Try a few.

Yes it does. I have a nexus 4 and the clip is large enough to rest it. So it should work with your Nexus 5.

Yes. It works...but the magnets in the nexus charger dont securely hold the phone like they do without a case. the phone, without a case can be held vertically by the magnets in the charger. With the case on, this is impossible.

Nfc resides on battery door cover. As long as u have the original door cover it's ok.

I'm not sure I understand the question. It's just a piece of TPU that encases the phone. It does not interfere with my phone's NFC capabilities though.

Hi there, Excellent question Jay! Metal disrupts the signal between the NFC tags and your device. As a result, you're likely to get erratic behaviour from the tags if they're used in conjunction with any metal, including the metal on a phone case. Hope that helps! Justin WhizTags

There are a few different type of NFC tags. NTAG203 (these) work with my Nexus 4. I found a post on xda forums where someone says they had success with this type of tag with their G2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2458199&page=2 Good luck :)

If the magnet were in the mount, then the phone would only be able to magnetize to the mount itself. The magnet being on the phone means it can attach to anything metal, not just the mount.

A thicker case won't work. As it was mentioned by K. Rivas, a skin may be OK, but I know that a Nexus 5 with a Spigen case doesn't work.Really dumb move from Philips to make the connector adjustable horizontally but forgetting about case users. All it would have needed was a connector that's sufficiently adjustable vertically. As it is, it will be returned.

Currently using the Nexus Orb (Nexus 4 but works with Nexus 5). Says it's charging but I am not convinced as the battery still decays sometimes. I think the plastic and kickstand get in the way, it seems to charge fine through the rubber.

I do not know what NFC is but I have thoroughly checked the phone and nothing seems to be blocked. Let me know what NFC is and I'll double check.

NFC does work with the phone in the case, even if there are credit cards in the case. HOWEVER!!!: If you have a credit card that has an NFC chip embedded, that can affect the NFC operation of your phone if they are in constant proximity to each other. No damage, but it will be constantly being triggered for the "handshake".

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.
