*** The Official Google Nexus 7 Thread ***

if you got kids then the gumdrop case, both my boys treat it roughly but its still pristine inside. its very strong and durable case
 
I think I have that case it looks the same to me. Its very good and all the abuse my kids have given my nexus it's still in perfect condition. Even after bouncing down the stairs it was unharmed.
 
lol aye its been well worth the money mine has been down the stairs a couple of times but no dammage.

I've decided to buy one, can't hold out any longer :) I'm just wondering can anyone recommend any nice covers/cases for the Nexus 7?

poetic slimline portfolio is probably the most practical and professional looking one under £15, I use it every day and think it's superb.

If you want something a lot more sturdy though theres the rather bulky Otterbox Defender case.

Mine has that case, as has every phone I've owned for years. I swear I spend more on phone cases than I do on my PC...
It is very good, though. Integrated screen protector and everything, and I don't mind the extra bulk knowing how well protected it is uin my bag at all times. I trust my 18mo with it and she's yet to destroy it, so it's faring better than my PC too. Now OtterBox cases for laptops and towers. Mmmmmm...:p

My thoughts exactly, when the elasticated strap on my Poetic case goes I'll be going for an otterbox one, I don't really need the flip/professional look anyway and I'd rather allow my daughter to use it under her own little account (as you can with the Nexus 7) as she currently uses an iPad 3 which has no case at all and has done since before she could walk (she's now 2). Never damaged it, unlike her mother :p but the Nexus on the whole is just far more sturdy due to it's smaller size anyway and the range of free apps on it is just daft compared to the Apple app store!
 
Struck lucky, on the way home from work I pass a small cash exchange type shop, 16gb nexus 7 in the window boxed as new £89. I checked it over for marks and screen lift etc and its perfect, just done a factory reset as it had previous owners bumf on and it turns out its actually a 32gb!

Am a very happy bunneh

That's epic gold you've struck there son. :D
 
Nice find Snapdragon!

I think I'm going to pick up one of these next week for travel.

I can't decide if I should get the 3G or wifi only model. What concerns me about the 3G model is that ROM support may not be as good. Is this something I should be concerned about? There is definitely less activity in the 3G forum on XDA.
 
I've had a Nexus 7 since launch and barely used it. Tonight I brought it to work, and I notice then when using earphones, the sound is distorted and there is a constant backdrop of crackling/distortion.

A Google brings up plenty of people with the same issue but no fix. Is there one, or is this inherrant to all N7s? Or, am I likely to get anywhere getting a replacement?

Mine does this but only when something is in the USB port at the same time. Were you charging the device by chance?

Thanks for your insight, the OS seems a lot more powerful than I was thinking. It begs the question of why isn't multi tasking being implemented, shouldn't there be options within Android to set how an app should behave once it has been switched. Maybe Android will have to lead the way with this and implement these options in the OS to make developers realise that it's there for them to use?

Definitely not starting an Apple vs Android debate here as I own an Android phone and an iPad and both of them have their own benefits.



Interesting, let me know what you find!

I also found it annoying that the Android Youtube app doesn't allow background audio, whereas I could do this in iOS quite easily. I found an an app which can do play background youtube audio, even with the screen off. Works well as a basic player., it's called PVStar. Hope it helps.

Excellent thanks for sharing that, I also found one last night called Freedi YT which works but it's a little clunky. Shall give that one a go that you've suggested.
