you're surprised that Canada is getting the shaft in some way?

And yes, mad jelly.

according to google they had these things at UPS ready to ship a week ago. I know some people are noting charges but I'll believe it when I see it. I'm definitely first wave as I ordered june 28th, so we'll see what happens today. So far, nada.

Those other cases look nice, however this case looks boss. The damn thing swivels.

Wow, that swivel case looks damn nice. I'm kind of wary of the swivel mechanism failing though. Still, I'm pleasantly surprised by all the cheap and good looking cases. After years of seeing shitty, injection molded plastic phone cases being sold for $20-30, I'm rather taken aback by what I'm seeing

Ordered Thanks.
edit: Just ordered the second one you posted too.
This has probably been asked before but I don't have time to read 25 pages but I have a question:
My mother wants a Nexus 7 and my grandmother is at family in Canada (Calgary) at the moment. We figured it might be a good idea that my grandmother could take a Nexus 7 with her (it's like $100 cheaper compared to Europe, let alone that it is not even released here yet).
So my question is, is the Nexus 7 for sale in stores yet (Best Buy?)? Or online only, do you have to pre-order it?

Apparently if you preorder it at Memory Express online, you can pick it up in stores today. Not 100% sure, but people have been able to do that. Probably should call first.

Yep same here in LA/OC area for me. Gamestop said if I pre ordered it now I would get on "in a few days since they are already released" and they are only getting shipments from pre orders. Should I?

Did you preorder from anywhere else? I wonder whether GS will have it before my Staples order ships...
Might as well, I'm going to so I don't have to run around. Would guess GameStop would be the one on top of shit?
Just bought this case, only 10 dollars and has the magnet to sleep/wake.

I didn't pre order from anywhere. Was hoping to walk in and buy one from somewhere on launch day. But well who knows when the hell that will be.
Got ridiculously lucky. Came off of work early and called my local Gamestop. The employee had pre-ordered one himself but didn't have the money to pick it up today and offered to sell me the single one on hold in the rear of the store (his). I didn't pre-order (though I nearly did from the play store) and I walked out an hour ago with a 16 Gb. Device is incredibly speedy upon initial impression.
Will update with more later!

Yea, I'm holding out for one that's clip rather than slide in, if I get one at all. That thing is going to be living in my house the entire time.

Considering how tiny the N7 is it's not going to be a problem for me, personally. And I was looking for a case that was also a stand.
It's cheap enough ($4?) that even if it's a piece of junk and I hate it, I'll just chuck it and order something better when the accessory library for the N7 is more built out.
When did you order yours?
I guess we know why they took so long to ship, they were fine tuning their rhyme:

Still haven't been charged. >_<
It's going to get here on like Thursday long after I go back to spend time with the folks.

I haven't seen any report of anyone in the US who ordered from the Play store that has a shipping confirmation. So doesn't seem like they shipped "first thing" Friday for anyone.
I don't know that the charge is necessarily going to show before it even arrives man. I just got my UPS delivery of my Galaxy Nexus less than 3 minutes ago. No charge on my card, in fact, the initial 'test' charge they put on my account has already timed out and released the funds back into our account.
The actual pull of the funds hasn't happened, the e-mail I'm supposed to get saying its shipped hasn't happened and the goddamn phone is here. I don't know what in the hell they are doing but it is clear that things aren't happening in the order they claim it does with their Play Store purchases. I wouldn't be surprised if the same happens to some folks and their tablets.
Edit: Just checked Google Wallet to see if it updated there, nope it still just says "Google has received your order."

Call your local Gamestop. I called mine and they are a go to sell... I wasnt planning on getting one this early, but its an impulse buy!! I hate/love being such a techno geek!
Edit: You have to be really lucky, though. My local Gamestop just have one and its for a pre-order. And the rest of the stores around received a laughable stock as well (1-2 per store and only for pre-orders only).

Have it on good authority that Preorders for the next shipment of Nexus 7s get turned back on tomorrow.
I checked with a couple of gamestops and they both told me the same thing (bay area.) They only got a few in for people who already preordered and they are taking new preorders starting tomorrow along with a new promotion that gives 50% extra trade in credit for existing tablets/"idevices" towards a nexus 7

Yep, I got the same email. That means it's shipping out on the 16th and will arrive 1-3 days later right? I'll probably have to print that release form since I won't be home to sign for it. Wonder if I can change the address to my work one...
