I just use a PlayBook sleeve when I'm carrying it in my bag so it doesn't get scratched up. Don't think the chance of me dropping it will be very high as I won't be using it while walking around (unlike my phone).

Do any of you use one with a bluetooth keyboard to type documents/take notes? If so, could you describe your experience (e.g. do you find the screen a bit small for this purpose etc.)? I've been contemplating whether or not it's worth my money to buy Nexus 7 + bluetooth keyboard + case stand as a document writing/note taking substitution for a laptop.

My laptop plan is to either save up and buy one of the next-gen ultrabooks, or wait until those come out and buy one of the current ultrabooks at hopefully a cheaper price.

my gf does that. N7 + logitech keyboard. No complaints from her.

She types up the notes on Evernote and then when she gets home, moves it from Evernote to Word.

Nexus 7 gets a price drop!!
Nexus 7 Price drops down by 10% at Staples Canada, to $233.10 for 16GB variant

!MiKrofT 09-20-2012 02:01 PM

It's not a price drop. It's a 1 day sale price.

mk1freak 09-22-2012 08:28 AM

sis just bought one at staples 72nd and scott road ...wish i had her willpower to wait

veeh 09-22-2012 11:00 AM

I just picked one up from Staples! 233.10 + tax! I didn't have to wait either... I just woke up and called the closest Staples to see if they had anyone in stock. They had one left unopened and held it for me.

What rom is everyone using?

!MiKrofT 09-22-2012 12:47 PM

Online stock sold out at like 4am lol.

mos_skeeto 09-22-2012 04:07 PM

picked up the last one at metrotown staples.

Simplex123 09-22-2012 05:34 PM

does Best Buy do price matches to 1 day sales?

!MiKrofT 09-22-2012 05:52 PM

Chances are no. Plus the website lists that it's out if stock now. Same with in store.

It was a 1 day sale.

Mike Oxbig 09-23-2012 11:12 PM

Just a nexus 7 for sale in general.

Simplex123 09-24-2012 12:19 AM

Shipping for the dodo case is $15.. Adds up to $50 even with the coupon. No thanks.
Rather use a DVD case as a stand.

what media player app are you guys using for audio/video on local storage? any one in particular that i won't have to worry about certain types of files not being supported?

mlworks 09-25-2012 10:04 PM

I'm using Google Play Music app for my songs and MX Player for videos. So far haven't run into any problems regarding format playback.

Mike Oxbig 09-25-2012 11:08 PM

I wonder how this case is for the nexus 7, anyone dare to order and give us a feedback? :fullofwin:

I hate cases that require adhesive. If they had that case but with a snap on back then I'd be interested.

JKam 09-26-2012 01:56 PM

google market has hit 25 billion + downloads. To celebrate they're selling a bunch of apps for $0.25. It's too bad I can't find all of the $0.25 apps..
