Plex said they were going to add it, so it's coming eventually.

The point is if it can withstand that sort of abuse it will protect the screen against pretty much anything.

I've never used a screen protector on any of my devices and none of them have ever gotten a scratch. Honestly, I think screen protectors are a scam and aren't worth the trouble.

I haven't really had a reason to use the GPS in my 7 much at all so I haven't noticed. Anyone else having this issue?

I have a friend heading to America in a few weeks, and they said they would pick me one of these up at the local Walmart.
Do they generally keep good stock of this?

Just tried it out this morning, it seems to be the case with mine as well. I hope it's software issue and not hardware.

A bunch of stores near me were sold out last week, but in a few weeks the initial rush should be pretty much over, I'd think.

Ordered a sleeve from here since it looks like that official sleeve is never coming out. Its super expensive but at least its made in america. Merica!!!

Cheers. Do the likes of Sears sell this as well?
Don't know about Sears, but between Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Staples, Office Max, and Office Depot, I'd be shocked if you couldn't find one anywhere.
Any recommendations on the best way to test this? I noticed a couple days after purchase that "tablet idle" was using up a large amount of my battery when my tablet was asleep. I'm wondering if this is part of that issue or not?
I just ordered the 32GB model from eBuyer, free Saturday delivery and I paid £1 extra for before noon delivery. They say they're sending them out on the 23rd so fingers crossed.
I'm excited to finally step into the world of tablets, and this is also my first Android device so I'll be clueless which is half of the fun.

I got my replacement from Amazon for my 32GB.
New one so far is giving me around 7:30 of on screen time which is 2+ hours better than the first one. Also the jumpy touches are much more subdued than the last one but still not gone completely.
If this issue isn't fixed with an update, Warranty would still be handled by Google?

should just ask amazon for another replacement if it gives you any more trouble lol.
But that seems to be every tablet, I got a buddy who got his from Staples 2 days ago and it's the same thing. Most noticeable while swiping on the keyboard.

if your system is clear of any dead pixel i'd just wait for an update to see if it is fixed or not.

Got my Nexus 7! Can anyone recommend a good site to find some cool wallpapers?

The wallbase app is all you need.
Seconded. I love semi-blurry backgrounds because it's allows my eyes to focus on the icons directly, so I search for Macro images of anything, like moss.:
But you can find tons of things. They even have an option to search by whatever color requirements you might have.

Lol dude we have the same wallpaper and case. I just ordered this case though since i didn't like the first one.
Edit: i didn't want to have the same wallpaper as you so i changed it and took some photos.
That's a pretty nice stand - what is it?

Just received my Moko Slim-fit case in the mail for my new Nexus. Looks really nice and protects it very well.
I had one of those for my old Nexus 7 and the stitches on the inside cover left permanent indentions on the screen protector. Did they fix this problem?
damn, what camera were you using?
It's probably just Google/ISP issue. Lots people reporting similar things on XDA lately. I just tried updating some apps on my phone and it took over 10 minutes while it should have been seconds.
It's very frustrating, I hope they sort it out soon. It's really souring my first experience with the platform :/

Anyone know of a way to completely disable the front-facing camera? My friend is concerned about it being activated unbeknownst to her. Is there an android service or something that can be disabled?
I recommended just covering it up with a piece of non-damaging tape or that water-decal stuff that can peel off easily. Or maybe get a tablet case and attach something that'll cover it up when it's in the case.
Anyone have any other suggestions?

Just got my case from Amazon and I'm not happy with it, I guess you get what you pay for. It just feels cheap, and I can't for the life of me see how this "pop up" stand is going to work, it doesn't even sit flat. Oh and they forgot to add the bonus stylus.

Sorry, I don't but does your friend do this for every device she owns? Her phone, laptop, etc? Very curious. I've never heard of an android device being hacked to turn on the camera.

She doesn't own a phone with a camera. She only uses her mobile phone for emergencies. She doesn't have a laptop.
Privacy is understandable in this day and age. Heck, I'd even disable my camera if I could unload or service or something.
I was just curious if this was a viable concern on this platform.

bizarre request but Permission Manager and disable camera in apps.

If being hacked is a potential threat, a software-based solution would likely be insufficient.
Ergo electrical tape.
(Edit: or, as the gp suggested, a cleaner tape)

Got the Poetic StrapBack Case for the new Nexus 7 today. Looks pretty much the same as the MoKo one above.
Unfortunately, it has the same problem I noticed from the Poetic case for the original nexus 7. The magnet is way too sensitive, which makes it impossible to use if you're holding it open with the strap portion of the case against the front portion - it'll just turn itself off. Last year I was able to get one that worked fine, but it took me a few exchanges with the seller on Amazon. Time to play that game again I guess.

Hi all. My mom just got one of these. Her first android/tablet ever. Never had a smart phone. But she used to be the VCR/TV wiz of the house.
Wondering if anyone has any helpful links or vids for first time android tablet users.

Can someone recommend a good slimport cable? There's not a lot of them out there at the moment and I don't really feel like buying the $60 one on Amazon right now.
What's the point of this Slimport shit anyways? Does anything else use it? Is SlimPort a consequence of the RACE FOR THE THINNEST DEVICE?! Feels like it might as well be Lightning :[
