Not amazingly clever - the USB bit is the wrong way round so the screen faces away from you...

I guess either send it back or try a bit of surgery to see if it can be rotated.

Yeah, its going back... I bought it for my mom cos she's disabled and struggles to hold things in her hands. I'll get another one elsewhere.
You'd think they'd check this out before production. Even on a cheap £15 stand.

Well i imagine its because the Nexus 7 has its Micro USB port the other way around Im assuming its a standardised production. Well, this is the case compared to my Desire, S2, Touchpad and now S3
lolwow. terrible.
I was thinking about getting this, glad I didn't now.

Why? Google had nothing to do with it.
I've emailed in to get it returned. The seller is stating that they sent the wrong one, but I've kind of lost my faith in it. Might get a folio case thing instead.
It is funny that they have turned the USB connector the different way up to other phones and tablets I've used. Maybe the manufacturer thought Asus would follow with the general rule and got caught out.
Upside down USB and really picky with chargers... What'll come up next?

The one x also has a flipped USB port - still catches me out every time.

Why would Google flip around the USB port? One of those little things that just drive you crazy...

The Nexus' USB port is the same orientation as on my Sony ereader.

I don't think this is really made by Google as they haven't announced docks yet
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
PEBKAC. This is an emartbuy dock (you can see plenty on play.com's site). They only appear to carry these for phones. This one looks exactly like the one made for the Samsung Galaxy SIII.
oh man
wow *FacePalm* But thanks for the heads up. I'll know to steer away from this one I am looking in to an alarm clock dock that also streams music and charges the Nexus 7. Not available yet but signed up for info.

It has the same processor as the GNex, with an open source operating system. Full Android will probably be running on it within a month. Sounds better than a smart tv in a much more aesthetically pleasing device with nfc.

It is aesthetically pleasing. Why would I need Android in a tv box when I have it in my hand? Short of a DVR function, the only thing I need it to do is wirelessly stream media from my hand to the TV. $99 is the price point for that, not $299. And I was never sold on the "everybody can use it" thing either, unless I'm coming to your house and jacking your stereo lol.

Yeah the everybody can use it thing is bs. I just like the idea of a Pseudo android device that I can use my phone and tablet as a wireless control for without having to use proprietary apps.
The Q is on my list. Its pretty neat but with my mhL adapter and mk802 android mini PC I'm not needing it just yet.

It means.....
All of our efforts to use OTG USB cables and flash drives with content is now all mute.
Looks like I will have to get a 32GB, just so that I can stream licensed content to the storage of that device from Google Play.
Basically, our fair use rights were trampled further.

Where did it talk about OTG? Did I miss something?
Just remember you folks voted for the fools in Congress that did DMCA to us.
Get it revoked - or get a new congressman.
It doesn't mean anything. Unless Google said we couldn't unlock our tablets. Which won't happen. Its why I bought a Google device. Ripping DVDs and putting them on flash drives has never been legal. Again ..doesn't mean anything.

I was really fired up about getting my N7. I got it, rooted it, flashed it, bricked it, fixed it, flashed it, and then loaded it with all of the best games and every emulator… 2 days later I’m now bored and have no use for it no more than my android phone… I might try running a virtual PC but…I’m a little sad I lost interest this quickly. What is everyone else using their tablets for that keeps them from collecting dust?
I use mine all the time for gaming, Web browsing, splash top, wifi remote control, browsing forums, news, entertaining my 2 year old, navigation, banking and managing all my rss download feeds on u torrent, I am sure there is more I do I am not thinking of too
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
If you truly loaded up the tablet with the best games you would still be playing them and wouldn't be bored after 2 days.
u could always get a comic book or ebook reader and read some stuff idk.
I bought mine primarily to replace my older Kindle so I could get books and magazines with photos that the Kindle sucks at. I like playing Angry Birds on it, but do that mostly on my phone. I also fly my AR Drone with it. I didn't buy it to be using it all day.

Almost 5000 posts since April? No wonder you can't find life.:laugh:
I just keep trying the different emulators now for gaming but i dont spend a lot of time with the tablet in my hand at all
For me it's mostly the form factor. Browsing the web, reading text, etc. is very, very nice on a 7" screen and many games just look better and play better as well. Plus I love the fact that I can install Ubuntu naively on it and basically use it as a laptop replacement if I need to.

I actually expected that to happen with me. It didn't. My 7 pretty much replaced my laptop and took half the load off my phone. I never thought I'd like a tablet but ended up pleasantly surprised.

I use mine for Netflix, textbooks, and browsing in class. Pretty useful.

I use mine for the same reasons others have posted here, but I also have been tinkering with integrating my nexus into my (rather crude) home automation system driven by arduino. With an arduino, tasker, a bit of tinkering and programming, I'm able to open/close my garage door and control my lights with tasker using voice commands or tasker widgets on my home screen.
I have been an iPhone and ipad guy since they came out years ago and recently switched all of my devices over to nexus ones and can't be happier with the openness. When I do get a bit bored with it, I try to come up with an idea to use my nexus to make my life easier and hopefully learn something new along the way.
Good luck with your quest. And by the way, if any one is interested, I can probably throw up a tutorial describing how I achieved this.

Perish the thought. :laugh:
As far as I'm concerned my phone is for when I leave the house, while my tablet is for everything else. If you're bored, then it's not the fault of the device, it just means that you don't have enough interesting content on it.

I have a nexus 7, it has a good purpose.
My computers purpose is to run high end software such as 3ds max and the adobe design suite, as well as a bunch of games.
My laptops purpose is to sit in my room until i buy it a new power cord, then its purpose is to be sold, or something...
My phones purpose is to text and call people, and when i dont have my tablet on me its so i can play games and sketch.
My tablets purpose is so i can browse the web, read books, play games i dont on the computer, and to be a digital sketchpad until i can afford a medium intuos 5.
Bored with your tablet? Find a purpose for it such as netflix, reading books, sketching, incessantly flashing software until you break it, etc.

nope not possible unfortunately, the n7 doesn't even have HDMI support.
Would you really want to do this though
The Nexus is a great device for a tablet, but used for a PC screen is totally not gonna work. Its too small.
You can get 15" monitors for hella cheap, I mean hey, I'd give you a 15" monitor if you paid my postage !!

I think most of the replies leading to where to get an lcd and hdmi support is kinda deviating from the op's principle inquiry and purpose.
As far as some constructive help, the only thing that I could think of is possibly taking advantage of the usb host feature and trying to find a way for a form of vga/dvi/display port conversion to usb. Then there is still the issue of whether you could get the tablet to use that in put from the usb host as a full screen display.
Its not a straight how-to or answer, but a good place to start looking for a solution.
Best of luck.
Way too much trouble to go through. Get yourself an IPS monitor, they are cheap now. TN panel monitors are so ridiculously cheap too.
Hi, I want the same thing too. We could simply use remote control apps through WiFi but it would be much of a hassle since we only need a display.
There are even apps that enables using the device as a second monitor.. there must be a solution via WiFi network

If you have a Wi-Fi with the same lAN with your pc than you can go with Splashtop. Just sign in for the first time using a display on your pc and keep start with system on and you are done. Just turn on your pc connect your nexus with the Wi-Fi and connect.you can also use the touch. Last of all its free in the play store.
