Another nice feature would be to provide some visual feedback indicating an unsuccessful NFC-unlock-attempt. Background (happened to me right now): if the system is set to "vibration only", no "NFC chirp" can be heard. I tried to unlock several times, thinking i missed my sweet spot until i realized it was the wrong inlay (yeah two black inlays of the same size is pretty inconvenient, if the ring is able to rotate...). When i finally logged in i was greeted by an avalanche of browser tabs with the URL i stored on the other inlay...

I wanted to share my experience (received my standard ring yesterday) with the Nexus 4: Without case, there are several sweetspots and it works like a charm. With a simple (cheap) silicone case it gets much, much harder. Then only one sweetspot seems to work and that also unreliable (sometimes i have to press the ring against the case pretty hard with my other hand for it to register). I guess i will cut a little hole into the case (which simultaneously will work as a sweetspot indicator)...

I think it would be great if the PIN unlock would accept a larger number of digits! As is stated in the app, activating the PIN lowers security, so why not allow a X-digit number to increase security again a little (if the ring works, it won't bother me that the PIN is large, but i have a fallback solution to logging in, because i don't want to deactivate google's 2-factor authentication).

Hi, i also wanted to share my experience: dispatch confirmation on 05/10/14, received the ring yesterday (05/15/14) from UK to Germany. I think this is great!
