I sold my iPad a few months ago when I made the switch to Android, and am dying without a tablet lately. I'm definitely picking this little sucker up but you guys seem to mention that if willing to wait a few days, ordering from the Play store will result in a better customer service experience if there are issues with the tablet. Am I hearing that correctly? Are you guys planning on going the Play store route or the first big box retailer that lights up their button?

FordPRefectLL posted:I called Best Buy customer service and they said it's processing and they can't hold any inventory while it's processing. They have my money, but I could potentially have to wait another week to get my Nexus 7. What a joke, I sincerely hope Best Buy goes out of business. poo poo man that blows. I literally got my "ready for pickup" email within 15 minutes. I do live in rural-ish Washington though.

Don Lapre posted:I was able to get bestbuy to take this staples coupon for $30 off No chance of backporting this for an instore pickup is there? or can I pick it up, 'return' it, then rebuy? I should just shut up and be happy, but $30 is about the gas it'll take me to get there and have a beer while playing with it.

I cancelled my amazon order today, they say they will "try" to do it, but if it hasn't shipped I've never had a problem cancelling.

Anyone else use 1password? For some reason my new 7 is only syncing one password I created today (for best buy). Phone and laptop still see them all. Makes it hard to configure this drat beautiful thing. I've uninstalled and using cleared data already. Using Dropbox.

ThermoPhysical posted:Same, except I don't know any store around here that will deal with a single dead pixel. But don't most of them have a restocking fee if it's open? Maybe that's what he doesn't want to deal with.

Not super comforting, my charger that came with the nexus already took a poo poo. I only have about ten of them but still it i. Great now my keyboard has locked up and I have to finish this post by voice typing.

Anyone found any cheaper screen protectors than the official Asus one yet? I know they will start popping up soon but I'd like to get something on this thing before it gets a scratch and pisses me off. Amazon is wanting $18+ for the official Asus (2 covers, 1 matte 1 glossy: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DY3J8UI

8th-samurai posted:I have a Potrtenzo bookcase for my OG Nexus 7 and the smart cover function works great. If/when I upgrade my tablet I will definitely get another one. drat I just ordered a suede jacket from sfbags but this thing looks even better. I was going to use the jacket plus my pelican 1055 but maybe I'll just use that for big trips and camping and get this thing too. From the reviews it sounds like it's pretty easy to pop out of the case when you don't want it, and the strips can be 'refreshed' but one reviewer said he used it a ton and hadn't had to yet.

cr0y posted:Can anyone make a recommendation for a case for the new nexus 7? Amazon has a bunch but I cant figure out what is decent and what is crap. I went for the slim portenzo and will give impressions when I get it but as long as it's similar to the og 7 one and the magnets work I hope I like it

Butt Soup Barnes posted:Heh, it actually is Korea I'm flying to. Do you have a specific one you can recommend? I'm not too worried about it since I'll be doing music through my phone and I plan on sleeping for at least a few hours of the flight, but it'll be nice to have just in case. I have this and love it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002D4IHYM/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmr0_1?qid=1375839120&sr=8-1-fkmr0&pi=AC_SX110_SY190

kitten smoothie posted:My Portenzo Hardback case came today. It's pretty nice, feels like a book binding without the pages. They have some kind of 3M adhesive pads that hold the tablet into the binding. The pads seem pretty strong; it looks like it will take more than a casual amount of effort to pull it off. It has magnets to wake up the tablet when you open the book. So far I am pretty pleased.

Cojawfee posted:Which one do you have? I'm thinking about just getting the simple hardback one because it's cheapest and looks cool. I don't really understand how this 3M coating holds the N7 on the case. Oh my bad, Yeah I have the simple HardBack one as well and love it.. the 3M poo poo seems to work really well. I upgraded to the "IntelliStand" thing so it works as a stand when I fly or put it on the desk as well. The way that works is there is one really big 3M sticky crap for always-connected, and 3 small sticky dots so you can easily pop it out to the 'stand' mode.

Civil posted:I've got this one and it's fine. The power button is a bit difficult to hit, but it's also difficult even without a case. My only complaint is that I can't charge it via qi with the case on, but I'd imagine that's common to most cases. I've got the Portenzo Hardback and dig it: http://shop.portenzo.com/hardback-for-the-new-nexus-7/ Speaking of that, does anyone know if this thin cardboard case would allow for wireless charging? Or if they are especially cool, it could probably be simulated by using the cover of a small notebook or a hardcover book and see if the charging can get thru that to a naked Nexus (The HardBack is about the same as my Red&Black notebooks from work, but probably also any standard hardcover book cover as well. I'd like to be able to plop it down on one but don't want to buy one if it wouldn't work.

BeastOfExmoor posted:1SaleADay is selling pre-owned 16GB Nook HD+'s (discussed in the last couple pages) for $110 w/ 1 year warranty. Ridiculous deal that makes me wish I read comics just because it would be the best comic reader ever. poo poo, I am tempted to get this for the comics and just to use as a 'always on my coffee table' tablet or something... any issues anyone knows with these? Looks like I can get CM10.1 on it at least.

I decided to let the deal pass, a buddy convinced me that they'll really only probably go down in price, and it's not like I *need* it (I have a 2013N7 already), but I do find myself squinting with comics here and there.

AlexF posted:Great, thanks! I'll get the Dodo as it's a little cheaper (camera hole included, no need for the intellistand option) and the branding looks better imo. Nitpicking but true, it is harder to reach them. I've even thought of somehow putting some epoxy or something to create a nub on them to make them easier to find, but the above poster is right, most the time I don't need it as I can just close/open the cover.
