Anyone interested? - Off-topic

I need to sell my well loved Gibson Les Paul Studio (1995) as I will be going to university soon and need the money.
Was just wondering if anyone would be interested in it?

How much? Pics?

Ooh, nice. How much are you asking?

Also wondering how much? I take it, it would be out of my price range 500 USD. That is the one thing I hate about LP's you can never pick em up dirt cheap!

Was looking at around £500 GBP, a little more for it + the hiscox liteflite case (was expensive). When i brought them together was around £900. ill get some pics up asap

That's not too bad. I had a chance to buy a Custom Shop LP kind of a Black Beauty style one for 800 bucks, I was 15 and had no way of getting 800 bucks. **cries**

Update on pics?

Bestskinsever.com now selling Focus skins

Hey Hey,
Just wanted to give folks a heads up, Bestskinsever.com is now selling full phone skins for the Samsung Focus.
I just ordered one, and it was only $US 6.99 plus $2.00 shipping. You can't beat the price. I ordered from them for my last phone (Samsung Impression) and I was very happy with the product.
Just thought folks would like an alternative to the $30 price point for the InvisiShields of the world for what I feel is a good option. Check it out if you like.
ps - For the record I am in no way affiliated with this company!! Feel silly saying so, but there are many spam wary people out there

I bought a skin for mine from Gadget Guard (like an Invisishield) via ebay, but paid about $13. This seems like a pretty good deal.
Does it have the same tackyness that these types of skins have? Mine does and it definitely affects the feel of the touch screen. It's something I'll probably have to get used to but i'm considering just using the side and back skins - I'm glad these people offer a body-only option.

Cases for us girls...

I got tired of seeing all the threads here with boring black cases : ) so just thought I would post this in case there is anyone else here interested in colorful ones:
Vera Bradley has an ecover that fits the Nexus, although it's pricey:

Also has some sleeves that are made for ereaders, and tablets of this size.
Someone else here posted about this cool design your own case Site (can't remember who, but thank you!), and this is the one that I bought and am waiting for it to ship:

The pic I attached shows the outside I chose for mine, I think the inside was pink with a pink strap to keep it shut

A poxy case costing as much as the device itself? There is surely something wrong with the World.

Lol I have comments but I'll keep them to myself as they're not very PC. At least there are companies out there that realize girls buy gadgets too.
well, if you are not in it for the value they do look sort of nice.
i was in a store a couple hours ago to buy something, didn't buy any of these stuff but managed to snap a pic of these accessories
Nothing screams of insecurity like a 700 dollar purse, or a 300 case for a tablet. I guess its the female equivalent of middle aged men buying convertible sports cars to try and reclaim some of their youth. I'm sure plenty of us have the means, but seriously, spending that much money on a prada tablet cover puts one in the same category of doucheness that Paris Hilton aspired to, and achieved.
don't waste your money
lets keep these post informative. If something makes your life more enjoyable then who are you to decide if it is worth it. So she saved some money by buying a very capable device and now wants to use that saved money to buy accessories. My computer is way more than i ever need but i love it and it makes me happy. I have been on this forum forever but still no links can be posted by me so. just do a google search "designer cases nexus 7". then switch to images so it is easier to discern what is out there, there about 10 or so that may fit your needs

let's not rain on other people's parade just because you don't like to spend money on trivial things
if the person makes good money there isn't anything wrong with buying more expensive things
i won't buy the case myself but since the person i know who bought one does fairly well herself i dont see anything wrong either
if would be silly for someone who lives in the ghetto living on welfare to buy one of these though

I don't ever make it in those kinds of stores, they'd probably kick me out for not having enough money to pass their "test". They don't even have stores that expensive up here anyway lol Prada, Gucci, etc. are mainly status symbols, and while I admit they are built welI and beautiful, I can get similarly nice cases for 100 or just under 100. I would also bet that those "Elite" cases are out of reach of most posters on here.

Noreve Saint Tropez will also be making Nexus 7 cases, I have one for my Galaxy Note and they are awesome, top quality and amazing workmanship! They are hand made in Saint Tropez, France, and they have several choices of leather and colors. They are as nice as those Prada cases, but for a LOT less.
Edit-PDAir also makes nice, high quality cases, and will be making them for the Nexus 7 soon-

They have a leopard skin and a wallet-purse-lookin' case. LoL!!
And I'm sorry, but I think it's very stupid to buy an accessory that cost more than the product it's self. I don't care how much money you have. But maybe that's just because I'm a guy. I mean, really? And it's just 1 thing. It's not like you're getting a prada-case, some perfume, and a dozen roses. I wonder if my mom thinks like that?
anything stylish colorful or just Target to women add 50 to 100 percent to the price. And the sad part is most of them are less quality then that of the plain looking items.. This be a Nexus 7 case or a pair of shoes.It cost so much more to be a Woman .
I Have seen some cases with women cbut nothing totally functional..Soon i hope for now i have a silly generic black case to protect my screen while in my purse. Of course its a tough job dangerous place in there..

Uh, you clearly haven't seen the dangers in my bags. But I concur, I shouldn't have to choose between cuteness and quality. At least I'm handy enough at sewing to make my own sleeve, and I can use whatever pattern I can find! But custom cases would be nice (I would be all over skinit if they did any of my products). Seriously, though, a sleeve is two seams down the sides and a drawstring or flap on top, anyone could do that. -Ara

Chinese version of Asus travel case cover - works as a multi-angle stand

I just found what I was looking for - TPU Case cover very similar to Asus official travel case cover, also works as a multi-angle stand. Bad news is that I found on Alibaba.com, where minimum order is 500 pieces and I didnt find it anywhere else. Also, it doesnt work as a smart cover with magnetic sleep/wake function.
http://grashine.en.alibaba.com/prod...high_quality_TPU_Case_for_google_Nexus_7.html
I'm in for one, 4999 to go
Too bad they don't offer a sample. Occasionally I've managed to get items that way on alibaba but it depends on the company.

Yeah, still 498 persons more and we're done. Put a magnet on front cover to make it "smart" would be a piece of cake
Where to find single units on sale? I was searching all over the web?
Ebay offers a few that may fit your needs.. Here is one that I found that my husband is interested in. Not sure if you are limited by location, but you could give it a look.

Thank you for your suggestion but I like my device to be rubberised all around bezel, just like Asus official case does, or this...

There is so many cases where minimum order is only 1 peace, that gathering 500 people is a waste of time. Plus then you're going to receive 500 cases in you mailbox, and then you're going to ship all 499 of them to people? In the end the costs of shipping will be the same as if you bought original asus nexus case.
No offense, but it's a waste of time.
If you like the official case so much, just get it, it's not way too expensive, if you include the hassle you get with ordering 500 chinese ones. And the cover on the chinese one looks like it'll fall off any time now.

Hi, all that talks about getting hundreds of people was a joke:laugh:, actually, we were talking about how difficult could be doing a such a simple thing like buying a new device case on net. But thanx, anyway, I allready have a official Asus grey case and I really like it, but it couldnt be used as a stand cover, especially as a multi-angle stand. So, thats why I was looking this particular case. Cheers!
Edit:agree with you, seriously doubt about quality.

Still recommended to fix Nexus 7?

Hey,
a little more than a half year my N7´s screen broke so i didn´t use my N7 for a long time. Would you still recommend me to fix my N7 for 55€ (about 69$)? I loved it so much and i still miss it for surfing and browsing amazon and so on. But i don´t know the community status? Are there still developers for it?
Sincerly,
Phil
It depends.I just bought a like new ,used Nexus 7 on EBay for $100. If you are saying the repair includes part and labor it might be worth it. If it just is the price of a new screen and you are going to repair it yourself you have to consider what your time is worth.
It's the Display unit only. I have to repair it myself. But the time is it worth but I don't know about the money. Is there any good alternative for just a little bit more or would you say the old Nexus 7 still got the power?
And other opinion?
For the price of the screen not many. Seeing we will be getting Lollypop, if you got the skills go for it.
The newer Nexus 7 (2013) version is going on swappa.com starting at about $145 for Mint condition.
If you can swing that, might be a good purchase, it has slightly better specs and form factor than the original Nexus 7 (imo).
There is definitely still a strong development community for the grouper though, i don't see it suddenly dying out anytime real soon.
So I think I made a decision. I repair it for around 40€. And maybe in the future I take a look at the N9. Would buy it instantly but it's not cheap at all with 32GB. But, dayum, that's an awesome tab.
I just did mine with a screen assembly off aliexpress I got for £26/€33. Took about 2 weeks to arrive and less than an hour to fit using a hair dryer, the included tools and a youtube guide. Cheap enough to be worth a go and its good to have it back.

Was it free shipping?? Link to the site pls... And what was included in the box?
Yeah, i thought about buying it at aliexpress.com but i don´t have one of their required payment methods.
btw here is the link (Display And yes, it´s free shipping.
I bought mine on ebay for 29€ (about 36$) because the display is already in germany. So i don´t have to pay any taxes or duty and my waiting time is only around 3-4 days!
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free...or-Asus-Google-Galaxy-Nexus-7/2020128353.html
Yes free shipping. Included tools are 2 mini screwdrivers, a spudger and a triangular thing like a guitar pick. No double sided tape, mine was fine but you may need some if you damage it.
