Is it possible to have 2 sims active at the same time though?

Ahh, I wanted to be able to use both iPhone5 and Nexus4 without always having to get a new sim.

Ended up buying the adapter from a guy off craigslist who lived near me lol.

Found this on RFD.

LG Nexus 4 bumper and Nexus 4 Wireless charging orb at Puremobile

Bumper $19.99:
https://www.puremobile.ca/lg-mobile-...-nexus-4-black

Orb $59.99:
https://www.puremobile.ca/lg-mobile-...ng-orb-nexus-4

20% off Coupon: val013

It's free shipping if you order over $50 as well so if you get both it's free shipping.

The Orb is backordered and the bumper is in stock. Works out to $20.98 shipped for the bumper. I ordered one for the heck of it. They'll ship you the bumper first and then the orb when it's in stock. I passed on the orb.

You can actually get free shipping even w/ the 20% off for the orb only. Seems like they base free shipping post-tax which is 53.75CAD (47.99 + 5.76), and not pre-tax :woot2:

I agree.. but shipping + it's $10 more LOL

Graeme S 02-07-2013 09:51 PM

Tylt holds the advantage if it's being shared or is kept at a person's house where people are over a lot. Doesn't it have two coils so it can charge more than one phone at once?

dyan 02-07-2013 10:01 PM

I believe the TYLT has 3 coils. I don't know about the google orb as I don't know how it plugs in.. either straight plug, or through micro usb.

FerrariEnzo 02-07-2013 11:10 PM

Anyone else noticed their travel charger having a buzzing sound when plugged in?

As I was laying on my bed, I hear some buzzing sound.. Though it was my clock radio, put my ear against it and it was dead silent. Went closer to the charger and sound was louder.. U pulled it out and sound was still going for about 5 secs.. Put it into another outlet and the buzzing sound starts.. Didnt really notice the sound before...

Is this normal for a USB charger?? I got freaked out and charged my phone on the computer, since it has active USB ports even when the computer is off.

you didnt order the bumper when you placed your order for the phone?
anyways, my bumper should be arriving Feb 13. I plan on selling it coz I have a case already.
19.99+10.99(shipping)+2.40(tax)= $33.38
Sell it for $32, you can save yourself $1.38

It's just the coils in the charger buzzing as it changes 120v to 5v. Safe but annoying. I charge my phone with my Samsung charger that does not have the buzzing. My Asus nexus 7 charger has the same issue.

Interesting. Amazon says my Ringke Fusion case shipped yesterday. While Ringke's page says the case isn't available for shipping until Feb.20.

Psykopathik 02-08-2013 02:59 PM

the buzzing is likely caused by the coils not having enough epoxy coating it to dampen the vibration. not a safety hazzard.
