I did some research before making my order and I couldn't find anything from 2012 it seems. Which I think is ok since most posts are usually complaints. Some things I found were about shipping delays which I think they have fixed. But I did find posts where they did try to fix issues and I think they have been redesigning to make sure any past issues have been addressed.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] wynand32:
Those do look like excellent cases, but man, $50 for a case for a tablet that cost $250. :) I'll have to ponder this one a bit.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] mmegalodon:
Saw some of the shipping mentions too, but as stated they were older. I will be having to exchange my device in the near future, so really considering it ... this is where I'd like to see some user feedback / photos. :D
[Nexus 7 Accessories] simplyphp:
I couldn't bring myself to spend this much on a case, especially when I'm holding out for the docks to be released. I would dislike taking it out of the case to put it on the dock, as well as the added thickness and weight.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] lin013190:
I hope i don't break my nexus 7 before the case comes..
[Nexus 7 Accessories] EvilDeadFan:
I'm seriously considering pulling the trigger on an epic black exterior, ebony wood, Old World Atlas interior print, and a Kinetic latch. Damned nice looking, even for the quoted 64.95.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ejkeebler:
i've found the same as everyone above. I would like to mention there are quite a few similar cases to this, not sure how many are making nexus 7 cases, but I did just email pen and quill. I also saw beaconcase.com and portenzo, but they are all about $50-$60....i'd go as high as $40 I think, but 50 and 60 is really getting up there, it would have to be a really good quality for me to pay 1/5 of the price of the tablet.....

Update from Portenzo:

We are so thankful to have customers who demand a well thought out, high quality product over instant gratification. We are looking into it. Stay tuned to our Facebook page for updates.

Thanks!

Enjoy your Awesome Day!

OFF TOPIC:

You talk about price, now I have started using vaja cases from my days of the PDA Sony Clie days and I still have this case this very day. Argentinian leather and top notch craftsmanship for protection. Its EXPENSIVE, but the leather and product I can def vouch for. They take about 3-4 weeks for custom orders which is awesome IMO and coming from Argentina, is pretty cool. Here's a pic below of an example of what they can do. I have posted a question on their G+ account about making cases for us. (well more begging lol).

This is an example of one of their more expensive cases for the ipad2. I personally don't like the texture and I am not a pink/fusia person, but some do (reminds me of the Soul headphone pads in the Ludicrous lines lol)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] nikon120:
Lol, my quote was $75 for a case. Wow ... glad I had no intention of buying one.
[Nexus 7 General] anoobdev:
I'm thinking of buying a Nexus 7, but I'm seeing tons of people posting with all kinds of screen problems. I'm wondering, is everyone having issues, or is it just the people who are having issues that are posting? So if you have a Nexus 7 and it is working great, I would love to hear from you.
[Nexus 7 General] matt.wolfley:
No problems what so ever, ordered 27 June, got it yesterday and I've been through two full battery charges and rooted and its still running like a champ. Don't hesitate!
[Nexus 7 General] Jyveafk:
Mines great! It's probably just a 'nexus' of complaints here! Where else would you talk about it, that's making it look worse than it is perhaps.

Only problem I had was that it turned up TOTALLY empty of charge and needed a few minutes to get past 0%. Once done, it's been working great.

No flicker

No squeaky sides

No raised glass

It works and works great.

Non-rooted(so far), standard rom. Nothing out of the usual.
[Nexus 7 General] cpalmer98:
I dont! absolutely love the device!
[Nexus 7 General] JohnM:
Mine is perfect. No screen issues and device came new in flawless condition.
[Nexus 7 General] M3drvr:
Works beautifully for me. Problem free!
[Nexus 7 General] xangelkiller:
My only problem is that I can't put it down and my ipad has started getting dusty since I got my N7 on Tuesday!
[Nexus 7 General] CapnDap:
As per any new device, there are bound to be ones that make it thru production with a problem or two. Apparently screen issues have been what's the most prominent.

sent from my Droid Incredible
[Nexus 7 General] StyleNSkillz:
Works amazing for , dont hesitate.
[Nexus 7 General] demandarin:
No problems at all. My device is flawless. Great build quality on it.

Might be better if you create a poll then you will truly see most don't suffer from reported issues. It could be as simole as do you have any major hardware issues vs. Those who dont. Or are you satisfied with your nexus 7 vs. Those who arwnt. If you do, change thread title also. The complaints will always be voiced more over those who satisfied with their devices.

I'd easily recommend anyone to buy one of these ASAP.
[Nexus 7 General] James-NC:
No problems at all with mine.I am very happy with mine.Fast,looks good

And no issues with anything I have tried to do with it.
[Nexus 7 General] RayLovesick:
Everything is flawless here too. Highly recommended. The UI smoothness has me sold.
[Nexus 7 General] redmonke255:
First one had a dead pixel, returned to staples and the new one is awesome.
[Nexus 7 General] mtfsandlin:
Mine is amazing, and can do everything. No problems at all. Buy one, and join us! :D
[Nexus 7 General] TwistedRev:
No issues here
[Nexus 7 General] jwiskowski:
No problems here. A flawless 16GB unit from the Google Play store.
[Nexus 7 General] wiithepeng:
No problems either.:D
[Nexus 7 General] alteredmass:
16gb version with no problems no dead pixels either I checked
[Nexus 7 General] soldeus:
I've got 3 dead pixels at the very bottom trim of the screen which are only barely noticable when watching a movie with weird borders.

Not returning it because of that, still very happy.
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
Mine came form google play perfect expect screen Flickr which I think is a driver issue.

Some people reporting getting replacements with the same exact issue.
[Nexus 7 General] platodd:
No problems at all 5 days in. I've owned about 7 android devices and this is by far the smoothest and has lived up to all the hype. I get 20-25 hours battery life with my somewhat heavy use, I'm satisfied.
[Nexus 7 General] ThunderTech:
I bought my 16gb N7 through the Play Store and it is working flawlessly. No screen separation or display problems as had been described by others (mostly bought thru B&M outlets)

I opened the case to take a peek inside and checked to see if the screws were tight. only two were slightly loose... They turned less than a 1/4 turn with an approximate 1-2in lb of torque.
[Nexus 7 General] st0kes:
No problems here either. Its an amazing device.
[Nexus 7 General] Joezhang:
No problem here.
[Nexus 7 General] parkodrive:
Really? I ordered my n7 on the play store Wednesday night and received it yesterday. I am also in the uk
[Nexus 7 General] jdebay:
Wonderful device... no problems here.
[Nexus 7 General] TheHEFTA:
My nexus is absolutely perfect. No screen issues, neither is it peeling away. Have yet to notice any graphical issues either.

Definitely worth the £200.
[Nexus 7 General] rovex:
Took mine back to Tesco today, they had another in the Store that was a cancelled click and collect. I opened it in the store at the sales desk.. It had the same poor screen with bad backlight bleed and terrible blacks. I gave up and got a refund.

A real shame because its a nice device and easily worth the money if working well, but the quality control is terrible. Im surprised at ASUS really, ive been using their motherboards for years, with great performance and reliability, but this is bad.
[Nexus 7 General] Luda305:
I'm on my fourth n7 and I can now say its a good one. No problems with this one so far.(fingers crossed) I am disappointed that it took four of them to get one right but hey, its expected with new devices especially in the tablet world.

[Nexus 7 General] noj78:
+1. Loving mine too :D
[Nexus 7 General] pxlitup:
This is a typical example of what the screen separation looks like, with a picture of the right bezel for comparison.

Anyone who claims not to have this issue, and who has used their device for at least a few days, please take a picture of your left bezel.
[Nexus 7 General] MMcCraryNJ:
I'm not taking a picture of my device to settle your disbelief that there are perfectly fine Nexus 7's in the wild.

The glass is flush on all sides of my tablet. The glass is perfectly even on all sides, with no raised or sunk in edges. I have 0 backlight bleed. I have no creaking anywhere, nor do I have that "tape stick/unstick" mushy feeling anywhere on the screen.

Why is it so hard for you guys to believe that this doesn't affect the majority of the devices out there? Yes, there are some tablets that have this issue, and yes, these people should be requesting replacements immediately. They got a dud. It happens frequently in first production new devices.

This is not as widespread as everyone thinks.
[Nexus 7 General] versd:
no issues with mine :) arrived this morning
[Nexus 7 General] pxlitup:
Sorry for making such an unreasonable request. I realize that film is expensive and not everyone has access to a darkroom.

In answer to your question, the reason I don't believe that there are Nexus 7s without the screen lift issue is that I've yet to see any evidence for it. It's a subtle problem that becomes more apparent when the device has been heated and used, and a pretty hefty percentage of people are already reporting that their screens are lifting. Some people have done in store exchanges where they unbox one defective unit after another until there are none left. It may or may not affect all or even the majority of the units, but it's certainly a widespread problem. You probably haven't been following the issue as closely as I have since you're busy savoring your new tablet while I'm out here in the rain, watching you jealously from a distance.

The moment I see a picture of a Nexus 7 that's been used for a week and is still completely flush, I'll be relieved. I don't know why you assume that I want to be right about this.
[Nexus 7 General] illusion787:
ok

mine has had no probles....works fine
[Nexus 7 General] andyln3:
Flawless device here. With a product this popular you're more apt to hear more about the small percentage of defects.
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjm00:
Mine is fine. My friends is fine. No one personally that I know has this problem. I got mine Tuesday, been using it like crazy, screen is exactly the same. Oh yeah, I work on a military base in a warehouse that has no AC, and at my desk during the summer it gets over 110 in there. We are slow right now thanks to a returning deployment and people taking their extended leave. So factor in a near week of use in a 110 degree environment, and still no issues. I kind of feel like people are looking so very closely for issues, they are finding them. Its kind of like Lewis Black said in one of his skits. "I was on a plane ride once and read a 30 page article on diabetes. By the time I was done that article and the plane ride was over....I had diabetes". I feel like people are over-analyzing their devices and developing problems that aren't there due to being so paranoid they will find something.

That's not to say that there aren't problems, but I feel like they might not be as widespread as people are making them out to be.
[Nexus 7 General] rovex:
I wasnt looking for a problem at all, i saw a hideous screen within 2 seconds of turning the unit on. Very easy to see 4 bright spots on the left edge of the screen with dark patches between them.

When i phoned Tesco technical help (you are supposed to for an electrical item before taking it to the store), the guy already knew about the issue and said they have had LOADS returned because of it, literally thats almost all he has been dealing with for the last few days. The returns rate is terrible.
[Nexus 7 General] bpye:
No issues other than a very intermittent wifi drop. Seems to be a software issue though, common to most devices ICS+
[Nexus 7 General] buckbullstallion:
Wow, Nothing on the screen but 4 lights> Im glad mine has been working. sorry about your blank screen 4 light issue, hope nothing like that happens with my NEXY.
[Nexus 7 General] rovex:
The screen wasnt blank, that was just a red test pattern to show it clearly in a picture. The problem was the uneven backlighting, it was visible all the time. Im far from the only one with the issue, there are complaints on any number of forums about it.
[Nexus 7 General] 94SupraTT:
I have two. Both work great. Although one seems to drop wifi on certain routers.
[Nexus 7 General] KCHawkeye02:
Perfect for me
[Nexus 7 General] Lord_Xovon:
I have yet to discover everything in this device software wise but I can tell you hardware wise its amazing!

I opened and checked for dust under the screen, dead pixels,

Washed out , loose screen? Everything important before I purchased it. Also I just downloaded dead trigger and it is visually impressive!
[Nexus 7 General] Bloodcrav:
No problems here love it!!

Battery life is insane!!
[Nexus 7 General] tazm0n:
Great idea for a thread! After feeling a bit let down by the shipping order- Yes, I feel a bit silly now for getting upset I had to wait 5 whole days longer, but I still think it was a bad idea for Google to let retail stores ship before pre-orders on their own shop. I finally got my 16GB on the 18th and not only is it looking and working flawlessly, I am pretty blown away on the quality of it overall. It truly feels like a 'premium' device, Google/Asus have changed the game at this price point. Every 7" tablet will be compared to it from now on and it will be hard to match this fit and feel. Apple will be able to (don't hate), but not for $200-250.

Ok, I'm rambling- I'm NOT having any issues with my N7, it's working fine and there are no flaws in the build.
[Nexus 7 General] gtalum:
My 16gb is perfect. Google certainly flubbed the rollout but this is an amazing device!
[Nexus 7 General] dej2gp3:
Mine works wonderfully. No problems at all so far. Been playing a lot of various media on it, its been doing a great job with my HD TV shows in mp4 and mkv.
[Nexus 7 General] JaSauders:
Mine is great aside from having the backlight flicker at super low brightness levels. It's not all the time either. Used it for two hours last night, nothing. Used it for a bit this morning on same brightness and saw it. It's only detectable on white background windows that I can see. For me I noticed it with a blank chrome page. Someone remind me, was this concluded as a software or hardware issue? Anybody know what the internals are doing to cause the flickering?

Besides that, I'm a happy nexus 7 owner.
[Nexus 7 General] jesusprice:
No issues. No flicker, no screen separation and nexus arrived early.
[Nexus 7 General] tremblingwater:
Mine is absolutely perfect, so far.

Premium feel, nexus USP's and a lovely OS, definitely one of the best tablets around.
[Nexus 7 General] TheGeXX:
Mine is working great. I got it last Friday at Sams club works perfect.
[Nexus 7 General] alpine2g:
Zero issues so far.
[Nexus 7 General] blackhartct:
Ordered mine Friday morning and got it before noon today. I works flawlessly

I think the real issue is which version is having the problems I grabbed an 8gb.
[Nexus 7 General] got556:
Ever so slightly some screen raise and also have the mid to low brightness flickering. But loving mine so far.
[Nexus 7 General] airforce207:
got it yesterday. no issue at all.
[Nexus 7 General] chrisbd1:
Since I can't think of a reason I would have the brightness turned down in a dark room, I wouldn't notice uneven lighting if it existed
[Nexus 7 General] chrisbd1:
Oh yeah. No issues with the screen. It's feels solid all the way around. I haven't seen any light bleeding through the edges. Riptide absolutely rocks on this tiny beast. I use it to show off the screen to those who don't know Nexus.
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
So far so good...no issues except some apps needing to be side loaded. First time since my G1 I've actually felt the effects of "fragmentation" but I'm guessing since the SDK was just released a short while ago, this will change soon enough.
[Nexus 7 General] dan828:
My first one had the milky/ghosting issue, but the replacement they sent is tip top. Got first on Tuesday from play store order, called customer service that night, replacement came Friday.

Overall happy with it, even the bad one was usable until the replacement came.
[Nexus 7 General] r_3:
I have no issues with mine. I just wish it was the tablet ui out of the box.
[Nexus 7 General] jakkz:
The device is amazing, Play Store N716; rooted and running like a champ. I have not experienced any of the issues reported, the device is solid.
[Nexus 7 General] anoobdev:
Ok, well I guess that's that then. Sounds like there are plenty of quality devices going out. Thanks everyone for your responses!
[Nexus 7 General] salfenito:
I received mine on the 17th, not one single complaint! No quality issues, no battery issues, and no regrets!

For reference, I have had 4 other tablets, including and iPad. I currently have a Transformer Prime I pre ordered before launch and I have used for work and play ever since I received it back in January. The Nexus 7 screen absolutely kills the Prime! I prefer the higher PPI over the size any day! Could never go back once your eyes adjust, much like my Galaxy Nexus vs my Galaxy S II. Great tablet, great price, great OS!
[Nexus 7 General] MattSkeet:
i have to say that im ****ting my pants when i have to consider buying this tablet.

had asus transformer (original) and all the issues with that device exist in nexus 7. screen, light bleeding, etc... yet its the most tempting device on the market right now (a part from refurbished ipad 2 for £245 from Apple store).

My only problem is where to buy it.

Im from UK and shops like Comet PCWorld (dixons chain) have **** returns policy practically non existent. having issue with transformer and trying to return it i had to print bits from Eu consumer law to leverage their returns policy (WTF!!!)

is anyone here in uk that would recomend actual non-online shop with decent returns policy??

Shame that Best Buy is gone :(
[Nexus 7 General] dparrothead1:
Received mine today (Saturday from UPS). Went over it with a magnifying glass!!

No screen separation, no light bleeding, no dead pixels. This is nice.

[Nexus 7 General] rootbrain:
Not one problem with the device. Had one "reboot" app on the market that I tried (after unlocking, rooting and getting it all setup) that complete bricked the tab. Had to reload the stock OS and start from scratch.

But that was an app problem, and mine since it hadn't really been updated for JB or ICS. So really my bad anyway.:o
[Nexus 7 General] demandarin:
Op, are you going to make a poll? Thread won't have as much influence without one. All these people posting THST their device has no issue needs to be represented numerically. Or at least link that thread I mentioned a few pages back in your original post. This thread will have more of an impact with a poll attached to it. So it can help out future possible owners of nexus 7. If people come to this forum and only see the bad, they will assume all devices are defective. Which is not the case.
[Nexus 7 General] guthrien:
Why would a poll at one forum convince someone of something more than testimony? It won't be any more scientific that way. It seems to me that when there's a bubbling current of issues being mentioned on the Internet, issues exist for that device. Given Asus history that's not surprising, I'm sure it would be worse with Acer or someone like that. It certainly doesn't mean that most people have problems. I do feel fortunate.
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
Me! I bought two, an 8 GB and a 16 GB one and no issues at all.
[Nexus 7 General] bhype1:
No problems here. Bought directly from play store. Maybe anecdotal but seemed like a lot of people that bought from retail locations had problems. I could be wrong. Mine seems flawless after owning 24 hours.
[Nexus 7 General] demandarin:
Raw numbers to back up testimonials would be best. No one said instead. We had same situation with prime. We have awe had a poll that showed most xda owners devices were fine. Despite all those griping about issues. Those with issues tend to spread propaganda across the whole forum as if all devices were messed up. When that wasnt the case. Nexus 7 seems to have more cosmetic issues being reported. But you already have a few sour owners going around assuming and posting that everyone device is defective or a lemon. New people come into the forum and see that and believe it to be true. Although they should do thorough research first, alot of times they don't. So people tend to feed of the negative responses more. Having numbers to show counteracts those assumptions. A defense towards assumption all devices effective. Quantitative data to back up these testimonials would be perfect.

None Really

No issues for me. My Nexus 7 is unlocked/rooted with stock kernel and ROM and runs so incredibly smooth! No screen defects, no short battery life, no WiFi issues, everything works beautifully.

[Nexus 7 General] ToyTank:
Mine is flawless so far. Only had for 48 hrs. IMHO for every one person with a issue there are hundreds or thousands who have no issue you just don't see them making threads etc.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
People with problems (and there are some) are far louder than the satisfied majority, and have an effect

far greater than their numbers justify.

Like the majority, my 16GB unit from Google Play is perfect. Build quality seems really good.

Unlocked, rooted, and installed stickmount.

Love Mx running movies off an external flash memory - really nice playing .avi DVDs without having to convert.

I never could get a .mp4 conversion to look as good...

Moon Reader accesses my entire Calibre Epub collection off my PC. It remembers the URL of the form http://192.168.1.100:8080/,

and downloads as many books as I want from my collection.

The Tegra games - are amazing...

In a word - having a blast, and glad I waited for this tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] spongaweb:
After watching it slide off a book and fall from counter to floor face first, it is still working great.

I'll tell you what, that was the worse feeling ever watching as my N7 slowly slid off and fell. All I was saying in my mind "you moron you should bought the case for it",,, but lifted it up expecting a cracks and scratches, but nothing. It landed face first on a piece of 1/2", perlite rock I tracked in from garden, and crushed it into dust and no scratch where it landed on it. whewwww
