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.

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

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?

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

Here is the 10% off discount code for anyone who is also interested in it:

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.

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.

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

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..
