Lookout. Antivirus and tracker in one. Also taking pictures of your mates when they try and unlock your phone is pretty fun.

Ah. My old N4 broke but i had alot of fun playing with certain apps and features. Some i can name of the top of my head that might be worth while : Lightflow, Different launchers (My fav was Nova launcher but play around!),Swiftkey,Twilight(like f.lux), Beautiful widgets, Tasker. The important part to enjoy your nexus is to mess around with it! Dont be afraid to unlock bootloader and root or flash custom roms!

It never will if you take moderate care of it. My Nexus 4 is still going strong and doesn't have a scratch on it. (never used a case) mental really.

MXPlayer and WolframAlpha

Any unknown button should be pressed even number of times.

I wish they'd just integrate flashlight into the OS like Apple. BitTorrent Sync is very nice.

Battery Widget reborn (beta) - this is the free version, but this is also a paid version but they are basically the same thing.

SwiftKey - if you don't have that already

Before you do anything. Unlock the Bootloader, Install a Recovery and Root that bitch! Then proceed.

P.s.I had a N5 before my G2, all the previous said processes are simple with Nexus devices :D

I also went from s2 to nexus 5, it is a great choice. Just be careful cause the nexus 5 cracks a lot easier than the s2. I downloaded all sorts of things, but your apps are what ever you want them to be. It was really nice to use the google chrome browser and have videos in snapchat work.

I think that Dashclock is a must-have for unrooted devices.

Timely is also a great alarm app. Tapatalk is really useful for browsing forums.

Hm.. a bar code/ BB code scanner or whatever it's called, like ShopSavvy, Swiftkey, as many people have recommended before me, a cool photo editing thing called Aviary, and possibly Clean Master, which is supposed to get rid of crap files but doesn't really do a bunch.

If you listen to podcasts, doggcatcher is pretty great. It's one of the few apps I've paid for, but I use it almost every day so it's worth it. They also have a free version you can check out as well.
