This caselogic case looks pretty good, with room for some additial "stuff" http://www.caselogic.com/en-US/US/Products/Tablet-and-eReader-Cases/iPad-Cases/QTA_-_110_-_BLACK_-__-_iPadand910TabletAttach%C3%A9#  The N7 is so small I also carry it in a fanny pack sometime.

Nexus 7 General Discussion / Re: durabilty, etc?
« on: October 26, 2012, 05:06:23 PM »
FWIW my experience with the N7 16gb has been flawless; I think it is well put together and reliable..  I have had it since release and no screen or other issues.  The OTA system upgrades to 4.1.2 also went smootlhly with no problems.  I do keep it in a case (iBlaison slim leather case), never naked.  It goes everywhere either in my messenger bag, back pack or in hand.  I dropped it once on the sidewalk  :o but the case protected it that time.  I know some have reported screen issues and a couple of breaks, but I suspect most have found it to be fine.  If you purchase, buy it with an AMEX card to get a longer warranty.

My N7 is much better than my Android phone.  I had some serious messages that were unprintable.   :o

Nexus 7 General Discussion / Re: Question about the screen..

I have not noticed it much on my Nexus 7, but it did happen sometimes on my Android phone (HTC Incredible 2).  When I notice the lag in screen response, I use the Cache Cleaner Pro app which seems to solve the problem.  I also watch for how much memory has been used and get rid of any apps I don't use or need.

Nexus 7 Help / Re: My nexus is not working anymore

Sounds like a dead battery. Let it recharge for about 8 hours.  When you turn it on you may need to hold the power button for 15 to seconds.

Nexus 7 Polls / Re: Which eBook/eReader App Do You Most Use?
« on: August 30, 2012, 05:04:11 PM »
I use Mantano reader for epub ebooks from multiple sources. I like the way I can organize my library.

I am very satisfied with the N7 as an ebook reader.  I had a Nook Color and Nook Simple Touch in the past.   I buy my books mainly from Barnes & Noble, plus a few other sources including public domain.  I was disappointed with Google books because of the extra steps necessary to download a book, so I will not buy from them in the future.  Since getting the N7 it has become my primary reader.  It is hard to read the screen in direct sunlight as others have mentioned; though I would never take it to the beach or pool anyway.  The only readers that work in direct sunlight are those with eInk screens like the Kindle (not Fire) or Nook Simple Touch.  I was using the Nook app but am now using the Mantano Reader so that I can keep my many books organized.

A new $1.99 app Nexus Media Importer  allows you to import and stream music, video and photos from a USB flash drive or SD card connected to your Nexus 7 (possibly docs, too).  No rooting necessary.

Nexus 7 Audio/Video / How to watch Olympics on the Nexus 7?
« on: July 20, 2012, 11:00:59 AM »
Newbee question, on this topic...  How do I watch TV (specifically Tour de France, Olympics) on the Nexus 7?  Without flash, the videos on the NBC website will not run.  Thanks

Nexus 7 Accessories / Re: Best Cover For Nexus7
« on: July 20, 2012, 10:57:46 AM »
Any updates and recommendations on cases?  I just received one I ordered on eBay.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/221063370388?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648#ht_6289wt_1185 but the fit is a bit sloppy, front camera is not centered in cutout, powerbutton and volume keys are hard to reach.  It was cheap and no shipping, so I will use until I find a better one.
