Those of You With Flawless Nexi. - Nexus 7 General

Where did you buy your nexus from? Is it 16 or 8GB? Just wondering how many people got flawless units from Google compared to stores. As my expierence has been terrible. The past three days i have been going back to stores (Walmart) and exchanging. The first one had a minor screen lift. Second one had the same issue + the screen would become unresponsive when hot, and now im without one.. waiting for a good batch to come in or waiting for money to travel outside my area. Anyways i wanted to see if it would be worth it to try buying straight from Google. Thanks.

8GB ordered on launch day.
C5OK batch.

8GB from Office Depot, first week of August.

I can't say mine is flawless, but it is devoid of most of the more popular problems for now. I guess it is comparatively flawless tho.
I ordered from the play store as there is no way I wanted to deal with Asus if there was a problem. C8OK.

16gb, from google. besides the slight dent on the corner from dropping it on concrete, its flawless.

No issues here Craigslist via GameStop

16GB from UK play store. no problems. C70K

Play store. But took 3 tries. I've never seen one with screen lift though.(Actually a staples demo had it... glass well above trim) All three were balanced on both sides and well below the trim. Then again the second was squishy on the left.

I got a nearly flawless Nexus 7 on my second try from the Google Play store. The first one was creaky with screen lift. I RMA'd it. The second N7 has the tiniest bit of screen lift but it doesn't creak at all.

Yea, because Staples doesn't sell out. Never.
I got mine at staples in Nashville yesterday.

+1 for staples, got mine yesterday at one in Goleta, CA. They were out of the 16gb (which is fine because I wanted the 8 anyway), but it surprised me that they even had them at all when the best buy across the street from them was telling me it would be a few weeks before they got any in stock.

+1 Just checked for a 100 mi radias and found two locations selling the 8gb only.
If you are in San Antonio, head over to the RIM shoppes and in Austin at
1201 Barbara Jordan Blvd Suite 700
Austin TX 78723
100 mile check around my area=none. I got the last one on Friday
I don't think many people is waiting now .. but my local staples never stock up on crap besides office supplies

Thanks, I kept checking for 16gigs and it kept saying none. Tried 8gig today and found them at every staples in town. Jus bought one for my sister!

Staples last week- 16 gb. North Jersey. When it says not sold in this store on the internet, keep checking. That just means they are out of stock. It will change to In stock when they get a delivery.
On Thursday, I got my 16 GB from Staples about 30 miles away, it was the last one there. Definitely the only Nexus in my area too, Haha I had been searching and it finally crossed my mind to call there
Edit: should note that they did not have the 8 GB at my Staples. They were also kind enough to hold it for 3 hours until I got off from work despite it being their only one

I just got my 8gb from Staples today, I called four different locations by me and they were all sold out of the 16gb versions.

Uh, the Staples down here in TX were all empty of 16s, and most didn't even carry 8s. The Walmarts are getting 16s in a lot of areas, though. They have tons up around Dallas (where I go to school), but are out around Austin (where I'm spending the summer). Another place to check (just don't buy them all before I get up there for mine!)

I agree, Staples all over are getting stock! If it says "Low Stock" online...hurry!
It depends on location... here in CT all staples sold out.
Maybe geeks are a lot in this area

I tried calling my local Staples earlier, they didn't answer...
In any case, I'll call them up tomorrow and see how their stock is. Hopefully they have the 16GB in stock.
Does anyone have any experience with RMA's and Staples?

Yep my first one had a dead pixel. You have 14 days to get a replacement and it's really easy. Walk in, have your tablet and receipt/order number and get a new one.

Staples had neither the 16 or 8 in stock. The sales person was kind enough to tell me some guy just bought the last dozen!!! to sell online for a profit....??!
No estimate for next shipment, nothing....seriously? Called CS, no help, they asked if the sales person suggested I preorder one...I wasn't informed of the option.
I'm sorry but you shouldn't rub stuff like that in someone's face. Yes the lucky customer is entitled to do as he pleases but I feel strongly a product like this should have purchase quantity limits.
I may stop shopping at staples unless I have to go there in a 911... I sold my gift card.
Better believe I'm going to Google I/O 2013. Hopefully freebies will still exist (I would NEVER re sell mine,let alone the day of like some people did)...I'd be crazy not go go with my student discount. Just a matter of luck getting tickets I guess!

I'd buy three 8gb units (as display devices for watching movies streamed from my Seagate Satellite NAS+WAP) if I could find them for around $150.00.
I just picked up a 32 from Sams. They didn't have the tickets out but their website had shown it was available. The lady looked it up & they had 36 in stock...in little ol' Danville, VA. They should be out there, so go get 'em!
Just as a warning, Walmart also has the reduced price for the 16gb version, but only on the website. I went to the store and they were still $249. I literally had to order it for store pickup on my phone as we stood there, haha
I picked up my 32gb at Walmart today. Carmel, IN. They're out there.

Office Max by my work has the 16gb listed as $249. They said they would price match with the Google Play website. It rang up as $209 and they adjusted it to $199.

I'm in the same boat. Nearly bought an 16gb off swappa for $110, but thought its best I just wait it out.
I played with the N7 and comparing it to my N4, I just wouldn't be happy with the performance the 1st gen N7 has.

I have owned mine for a little over an hour. Got the 16 GB model at staples (in-store). With coupon code.

I had to get a 32GB. I have a 16GB already but wanted more Space and a used 32GB still goes for ~$150-200 used. For a few bux more with code I get a NEW one. I got a buyer lined up for my 16GB so I recoup a little cost there. IF the rumors of the $300 price for the new N7 is true I think I'll keep the 1st Gen N7 until the 3rd Gen comes out. I still have a couple of Tegra games so having a non-Tegra device is a waste. I like to have options.

Whos Selling Their Nexus 7 to Upgrade?

I have an 8gb WiFi model, and would like to upgrade.
I could get $55 from GameStop for it, although I will see if any friend would buy it for maybe $85.
Any ideas?
I will buy someones 8gb for $50 if its still in good shape. I have a feeling the price will plummet on the older versions once the new ones are released.
They are already selling for as low as $100 on swappa. I'd imagine they will drop further ones the 2nd gen is released.
Id def buy a 1st gen for $75 for my son to play with, to keep him off my 2nd gen of course. Our nook color isn't cutting it anymore.

I'm going to wait and see the specs, and if 4.3 will help with the lockups and lag in my current Nexus. While better, the specs leaked have been kind of weird.

I'm still on the fence about upgrading. I just bought my N7 about 2 weeks ago BNIB for pretty cheap so I'm a little late to the party.
Besides some QC issues the original N7 has been good to me so far

I'd like to get the new Nexus but I'm not sure it's much better than the 16gb one I have now. I need to get a new phone soon and I think I might save my tech upgrade cash for that.

Phone is def priority, but if the N7 specs are true it will be a huge upgrade. Sure its still going to be vanilla android and do all the things your current N7 does, but it will be much much faster.
If I had a 1st gen I probably wouldn't upgrade either, besides a boast in specs, its not like the 2nd gen has any must have features over the 1st gen.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Given the price point, I'm liable to sell and upgrade.
Gonna keep, the n7 is so cheap you can't get much money for it.
if i sell my 32gb wifi i think i'll only get 120 euro's for it (payed 195 for it)
so if i upgrade (it's a big if, becausen i only got this one just a few months) i gonna give my old n7 away for free (proberly to my parents)
I have 2 I threw up for sale on Swappa last night
One is Brand new never used and the other is mine that is prestine. Asking $175 for either and got nothing yet.

16 Gb are out of stock.

So I had to order 32 Gb one. I was torn between this one and Moto G, given 2 times price difference. I hope I won't be disappointed.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
that sucks that you had to go for the more expensive model
im certainly not disappointed in the nexus 5, but everyone has their own preferences. i think the n5 will be a better 'future proof' phone when compared to the moto g
i ordered my N5 the day it went live.. oct 31 .. 2 hours after it went live and the 16 gig was sold out.. so i went with the 32 gig also... happy i did tho 16 gigs aint much..
It's kind of weird though isn't it?
I ordered a 16gb Nexus 5 on monday and they were completely in stock. Checked back the next day and the Play store says out of inventory, rather than giving a wait time or anything?! And because I was worried this would affect my order I've been rechecking the play store religiously and every once in a while the 16gb comes back in stock but then you refresh the page and it goes away again.
Sorry you had to get the more expensive model. Thankfully my nexus 5 is shipping as we speak
I bought the black 32gb for that exact reason. With that said, I kept running out of space on my 16gb Moto G so I ain't that mad even though I had to spend an extra $50
