New Nexus Case on Play Store
Hi!
I preordered the nexus 7 thinking I didn't want this case. At the time of my preorder, the case was available. I changed my mind, and decided I wanted the case- and almost purchased it, but realized that I'd have to pay shipping all over. I called play support and they told me to cancel my order, and reorder again. I did... but by then, the option to purchase a case was removed. Instead, I was presented with an option to "Sign up to be notified by email when Nexus 7 Cover (Dark Grey) becomes available." I called them again, and they said to wait to preorder, until Monday. However, I realized I'd just buy the case straight from Asus, because they will be offering them in a different color.
Just so you guys know... According to Play representatives the case SHOULD be available Monday. :good:

If I understand this right,does that mean the nexus 7 will actually be coming out sooner that expected? That's awesome if the case is available on Monday.

I bought the case... just cause there aren't many options there yet X_x.
Still "Coming Soon"... so much for it being available on Monday!

It was available before, but they removed it. Guess they were wrong. It's not available yet, as the other poster commented. Sucks for them, because I'm not purchasing it from the Play store anymore. Oh, well. They might have had too many people preorder it? God knows lol

I'd like to know this as well.
I originally ordered an 8GB N7 with a case. Decided today that as much as I prefer the price, 8GB won't be enough space, so I ordered a 16GB N7 without the case.
FYI - for those of you that want to preorder this case from google play, if you log into your google account and then click on the link the "coming soon" changes to " add to cart". At least it just did that for me.
I want this case but I'm gonna wait till amazon has it cuz i'm not redoing my nexus 7 order nor am i going to pay $9.99 for 2 day shipping for it.
Wouldn't most of the cases of the kindle fire be fine for this?
I think we'll see more once the device actually releases lol
It fits inside my Kindle Fire case. So I will just use it for my Nexus 7 And not spend another 30 bucks on a case.
oh man. im spending too much money on android stuff. june 1st - bought my first android phone - HTC VIVID.
June 15th - bought my dad an HTC VIVID.
July 3rd - pre-ordered Nexus 7
now looking at cases and tempted to switch to Galaxy Nexus phone as well....
android ultrabook anytime in the future?

Just got off the phone with Play again. Now, they don't even have a date, which is pretty messed up. A good alternative is Amazon. They do sell a variety of pouches etc. I got this for less than 10$ shipped. Quite worth it, knowing it was designed exclusively for the Nexus 7.
Ordered two nexus 7s from JR to avoid tax/shipping. Which is why I plan on waiting for stuff to hit amazon, no tax and free two day. I hope they make white ones for me and pink ones for my girlfriend.

Got this too, but in black/green. It arrived today and it's actually pretty nice. It might be worth pointing out that it looks like it wasn't designed specifically for the Nexus 7. Here's the product on the manufacture's eStore: http://www.krooinc.com/Tablet/7-eReader-Case/7-Inch-eReader-Sleeve-GLOVE2-Series.html It's listed there as being made for the Kindle/Kindle 2/Nook. Judging by the measurements on the manufacture's site and the ones on the Google Play store for the Nexus 7, it looks like the chances of it fitting are pretty questionable. There's always a risk in buying something from a random company with no reviews.

Most of us who pre-ordered are a little peeved to say the least with how pre-orders were handled. After reading threads about quality issues, etc., with those able to buy from B&M last week, I'd like to know what people's impressions are of the device who ordered from the Play Store.
Edited thread title for clarity...
Did Google hold back to fix last minute issues? Were these a different batch than the retailer-reserved units? We can only speculate.
Most of us will receive the device tomorrow it seems. I personally will not be able to open mine until I return home from business on Friday, but there will be thousands waiting for that UPS guy to show up!
The purpose of this thread, fellow Play Store buyers, is to post your impressions, especially on issues like the left side screen clip, ghosting, flickering, yellow spots, battery life, etc. I'll be adding mine on Friday. Hopefully the vast majority of us have defect free devices. If yours is perfect, post that as well.
What happened? I ordered mine on the 13th, which I guess wouldn't be preorder since it came out that day. lol
I haven't even received a shipping notification yet... No way anything is happening anytime soon, it seems.
Really ticks me off, I have to admit!
Why would I ever want to buy from Google Play again, if other (brick & mortar) stores have already sold out a few days ago?
Besides, it makes me realize how much more professional Apple handles these roll-outs. And I thought only Verizon stinks (see Galaxy Nexus roll-out).

What do you mean what happened? The thread is for impressions from those that pre-ordered or bought the device from the Play Store and HAVE the device. This is not a thread about shipping.
Well, I can honestly say I'm happy with my device. It seems perfect to me, no defects as far as I can see. It may have taken some time to get here, but I'm very happy with the quality.

Ya, but from your post, you DON'T HAVE the device.
Be more specific next time. Seems your whining about how your order was processed and being pessimistic about the condition you'll get the device in. Even you say you won't be able to open it for a week.

Got a C6 from Gamestop this Saturday with no issues at all. More happy with the quality of the N7 out of the box than my previous Asus 201 tab
Way to go on reading skills there. Simply read the post and it is clear. My device will be at my house tomorrow, as it will be for thousands of others that ordered from the play store. Whether I'm there or not I open it until 3 days later is irrelevant. I would have created or posted to a thread like this regardless.
QC is a legitimate question to ask for a brand new device and there are some mysteries about this launch that make it doubly valid to find this out.

Gotcha. This should help to see if there's any pattern to QC problems. At this point I'm guessing it's just random though since they are probably all C6's.
I'm very disappointed by the Play store.
1. Stores were able to sell their stock earlier than Google.
2. The $25 credit sounded like an exclusive, which is why I pre-ordered, but looks like every N7 has the credit regardless of purchase location.
3. Shipping cost, why am I paying $19.99 if I can order the same device somewhere else with free shipping and still get the credit.
Thinking of cancelling my order tomorrow and waiting to buy in-store or from another online retailer.

Cmon man... don't post this stuff here. It's not a ***** fest about the pre order. Most of us are upset... there's lots of threads about it. This is for people who have received play store orders to post their reviews or impressions, nothing more. I am curious to see if C6 is prefix for the per orders though!

Shipping box size and how well packed
No I have not received mine yet, but I am asking from those that do to included a description of packaging for all of us (from NZ and AUS) ordering from Google Play USA to determine cost of freight forwarding and/or whether to get them to re pack or not.
Air freight internationally is often charged by volumetric weight this is determined by size not actual weight. We know the Nexus 7 UPS states shipping weight is 1.6 or 1.7lbs.
Can anyone give the size of the shipping box? I estimate from youtube video to be 10 x 7 x 5 inches, can anyone confirm? If so this is a volumetric weight of 3lbs.
Also can someone comment on how well it is packed?
I pre-ordered 2 units from play store as soon as the page was live, I was able to buy a n7 from a B&M store yesterday and I have no word on the status of my deliveries yet from google. I'll post again once I receive the shipment of 2 to let you know if there are any discernable differences.
For the sake of consolidating information, I've closed the following threads:
32 Nexus 7 on Newegg
32GB Nexus 7 PC World
Just bought 32GB N7
Best Buy Canada Released 32GB Nexus
Sam's Club 32GB Nexus 7 Placeholder

Hey, any screen issues with the 32gb? People have noted that there is a spongy affect on the left side when you press on it as well as a ripple affect. They have also noted the light bleed at the top. Any of those?
I was going to pick one up today, but Sandy is almost upon us and I may be without power for a few days, so I wouldn't get to play with it for too long...

So far it doesn't look like any stores in Phoenix, AZ are carrying the 32gb yet, but I still have a few places to call. I'll post an update if I get lucky. Otherwise it looks like 3-day shipping from NewEgg is my best bet. Wal-Mart is saying no availability until 11/5 for in-store pickup.
Update 10/29 - found one at the Staples Camelback location in Phoenix. They're not even stocking them on the floor, they're keeping them in the back with a "we have none in stock" sign on the Nexus display.
C90, no lift. Can't wait to root tonight.
I dont notice any issues with QC on mine. Woo hoo.
Staples charging $56 for one year accident protection? Ummm not paying 25% of cost, sorry. Square trade looks like $35 with the Tuesday coupon. 2 years too.
Mine is perfect, no screen lift and color are as bright as my friend 16gb.

It's a complete rip, but Daily Steals apparently has stock of Nexus 4's for $499:

List price $799? Really? Assholes...
Lol yep, it's a steal all right. Just for them, not us
Got my galaxy nexus through them. Was the UK model and at a decent price but they are very shady and it took a month from order to get to my door and the shipping part of it was only two days of that. Oh wait a minute, kind of like ordering this phone off the play store...
You can buy it for the same price in a TMobile store tomorrow.

Yeah but sadly we can't, at least not right now.
I ordered mine on eBay from a guy from Germany who managed to buy 2 when they went on sale.
Paid €440 for an 8GB version *sigh* but I'm really fed up with my SIII so it's worth it!
Daily Steals is a legitimate company. I am not saying that they should be charging $500 for this, but I am saying if you order from them you will get it. Be warned however, that it will take 2-4 weeks before you get what you ordered. They are the slowest shipping company I have ever bought from. So, with that being said, by the time you get your Nexus 4 from Daily Steals, it will more than likely be back in stock at the Play Store for $350 +tax and shipping and you will be kicking yourself.
How the HELL did they get stock??? That's pretty shady. The price, as compared to eBay, really isn't that much. Yes, I am aware of the MSRP, but after tax you are paying a ~$100 premium. Worth it for everyone? No. Some? Yep.

Don't expect a warranty if you by from dailysteals. I got my Galaxy Nexus from dailysteals before the play store started selling it directly. They advertised a one year warranty. Took forever to ship. When I cracked the screen Samsung refused to help me because it was the international version. Had it been the playstore version they would have replaced the screen for $200.

So when they say daily steal, they mean from you right?
They most likely don't have stock and will order the amount sold and then ship to you. They probably have a connect somewhere in the supply chain.
I would ask if they actually have stock.

so for those who have bad experience with wirefly and are looking for a cheap alternative for pre-ordering the HTC One newegg is doing a pretty decent pre-order for new/upgrades in both black and silver variants.
http://wireless.newegg.com/ecommerce/phones/?filterbybrand=208&referringdomain=newegg
in retrospect its a slight price difference being 129.99(newegg) vs 119.99(wirefly)
with their TEP versions being similar pricing
newegg -
$69.99 - Gold Device Protection - billed annually View Details
$7.49 - Platinum Device and Data PLUS Protection - billed monthly View Details
wirefly-
$6.99 - Gold Device Protection - billed monthly View Details
$69.99 - Gold Device Protection - billed annually View Details
additionally newegg does include free next day shipping vs wirefly's free standard
I for one will likely to go with the newegg route pending they are still offering it this friday. as i've had some issues in the past with wirefly.
Already wrote this in another thread, but I just wanted to throw this out there. Newegg Wireless and Wirefly are both run by Simplicity LLC, so you will be dealing directly with Simplicity by pre-ordering through either site. Newegg doesn't actually run through own "wireless" site. Simplicity technically "owns" the site, uses their name, and probably gives them x percentage for using their name and advertising. You can find more information on both websites.

damn thanks for that bit of information, it seemed weird the pre-order looked almost exactly like each other but that makes far more sense
Pre-ordered from newegg earlier today (don't know if im going to keep it over my note 2).. and now my order status says awaiting inventory... don't know if thats normal or they're low on stock.. guess I'll wait and see if it updates as it gets closer to release
So these are supposed to ship on the 19'th, correct? If that's the case, the 'next day' delivery service isn't going to mean much, as the 19'th is a Friday and the next business day is the 22'nd.

They have actually since changed their policy to read "ships when available" instead.
If they do ship on 4/19 though, next day service means you would receive your phone on Monday, while their standard 2-3 (business) day shipping would mean you could receive your phone as late as Wednesday. So it's still technically an improvement!
I ordered the 32GB black and it's since changed from "Ships When Available" to "When Pigs Fly". /s
Anyone else notice the black version isn't even listed any more? I'll be glad if I get it by the end of the month if not by the end of summer. Meanwhile, I will keep checking this thread and lurking in the main HTC One forum.
Edit: Just got an email right after I posted this from whereismyorder.com that the Black is delayed. They will switch me to Silver if I reply. Not sure what I am going to do.
This cache can be cleared, but you must do it manually. This bug can only be fixed with an update from HTC, will they release one?
Great Find!
Thanks OP! Ordered mine yesterday. I originally placed my order on 4/6 through the email that I got from htc, which was actually through Letstalk.com, but I cancelled it as soon as I saw this from Newegg.
I even got the Otterbox Commuter Case and it was still about $30 cheaper than going directly through htc. Great find, thanks!
Fyi. Newegg uses wirefly for their phone service. Your still buying from wirefly.

That is actually incorrect. They are both operated by Simplicity.

Tru,
But when I clicked on one of the privacy policy links it went to the wirefly site.
I thought it was ironic the op was complaining about wirefly but in the end it's all run by the same company.
thank for your information
thank you
pre-ordered one for my sister as a gift
Anyone receive shipping info
I asked Newegg support when I might expect to see it ship. They said they are expecting them to arrive at Newegg on the 19 and ship from their warehouse within 24hrs. Not sure how accurate this is, you'd think they'll want customers to be able to get the device when it launches...

Anybody but a warranty through them? Any good?

That's a bummer. I was really hoping to have the phone this week, rather than next.

This will be my 3rd Nexus 5 since early 2014. Sure, it's refurbished, but comes with a warranty directly from LG, and is supposed to be in like new condition. Even though I have a Nexus 6, I couldn't resist getting another N5 as a second phone. Good deal if you ask me.
Can`t ship to finland
Refurbished...

Warranty. If it can last 90 days, it will probably last a lot longer. Or you can spend $179 and get brand new. Still better than a Moto G for the same price.
Expansys has 32gb in all colors for $199 brand new pre black Friday sale, can't post links but check it out.

$199 for the red one isn't bad. They're usually more expensive. But I always use a case or skin, so color doesn't matter much to me. You could probably pick one up and sell it on ebay for over $300.
Edit: I cancelled my order with Amazon when I noticed the N5's on expansys were 32gb. I said what the heck and ordered the red one. Will look good in a clear case. Thanks for the heads up.

Definitely! I got the red one myself, I think it's a great deal. Besides the battery and mediocre camera I think the Nexus 5 is my favorite Android phone.

I think it is a good deal!
Can someone share the link for the red one? Can't find it on expansys

It's on expansys-usa only, I don't see any of these Nexus 5 on expansys.com.
http://www.expansys-usa.com/google-nexus-5-d820-32gb-red-unlocked-285134/
After ordering a new red Nexus 5 from expansys-usa, I was concerned they may send out refurbished units. This is a quote from one of the staff members at expansys: "We've been getting a number of inquiries from customers asking if the Google Nexus 5 D820 32GB we are listing are new or not. While we sell refurbished versions that come in plain boxes and generic adaptors, the ones marked "New" at the end are in fact new, and come in sealed boxes. " Should be good to go. It should be at my door any minute now. Will post pics of box and unboxing.
I bought two, but I had to send one back, because the USB port was visibly broken and wouldn't send or receive data. The other phone looks like a return (great condition and still has all the protective film on it), and it works perfectly.
OK. I bought the red 32gb version from Expansys. It was totally legit and brand new sealed. Here are the pics:

I took off the back sticker and camera protector before this shot.
I too have requested my aunt to buy me a white one from expansys.... I'm buying it for my dad but since I cannot order from my country I requested my aunt at US.,. It might be few weeks before I actually receive the device here at Nepal....I read that it is unlocked and your unboxing relieved me to confirm a new set... Thanks... Anything to look out for since it would be impossible for me to return the set? I will need to ask my aunt to test it before sending me the set... Thanks once again

Yeah I thought it was a decent deal. This is my third one now. It might be 2 years old , but it's just as fast as my Nexus 6. The specs are still very respectable and it runs MM like a dream. I got it as a second phone to split the wear and tear on my N6 because I'm going to keep these 2 phones until 2017 when I can get a '16 Nexus a little cheaper.
Here it is with a mint ringke fusion case: (Looks a lot better in person)
