I am new to NFC coming from my Razr Maxx (non HD). So far I've been really enjoying the Moto X, but if I could take advantage of NFC to quickly unlock it would make my life a lot easier. During the day I wear my phone in a holster/shell combo deal so my phone is protected but I can easily access it. I would LOVE to know the following:
A - If I put an NFC tag/stick inside the holster would it unlock it when I slid it out even though the phone screen was off? I'm on exchange and my phone locks quickly. Any ideas? I also read some people having a "trusted BT source" but A, I don't want to leave BT on all day at work and drain my battery and B, then I'm in the position where I am charging another device often which I don't want to do.
B - will NFC tags work with the plastic shell I have on my phone or do they have to be touched to the back side real close?
I saw this kickstarter for an NFC ring which seemed cool but I don't believe its out yet and its not terribly stylish . In their demo and a few others I keep seeing them hit the power button so I am not terribly optimistic.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
