Just as a heads up, there might be a way for some 16 GB owners to get their $50 dollars refunded to reflect the new price. I bought my 16 GB mid-September from Walmart and like many users was surprised to find that Google would drop the price by $50 dollars only a few weeks later. My N7 was purchased on a credit card (Chase Freedom) that apparently offers a 60 day price protection for up to $250 per claim. I wasn't sure that my credit card offered this until I gave them a call so it would not hurt to check the benefits that your credit card provides.
The claim process isn't too lengthy. Just need to fill out a form that they emailed me, provide a copy of the receipt as well as a copy of Walmart's website reflecting the new price. Kind of like a rebate I guess. Hopefully this can help some others out.
Yeah, I was peeved that I didn't grab my chase freedom. I went with Amex instead. They have a buyers remorse program but I'd still keep this device anyways if they gave me $50 back.

Yes. Money is tight for me right now and $50 is enough that I want it back. It has nothing to do with being cheap.
What dya reckon the chances of getting a price match from Argos?
I purchased it in store, still have the reciept and everything.
Google told me to try it?

I am simply pointing out one of the perks that some credit cards offer their cardholders. Since I bought the N7 for $250 not long ago and now that the current price is $199, why not get the difference refunded? Only reason I do not have Walmart doing the price match is simply because I am beyond their 15 day return policy. Luckily there are credit cards out there that extend this price protection for you as part of their benefits.
I love the N7 and was content with the 16GB. I have no hard feelings towards Google for driving down the price since it is a competitive market. If there is a way for others to potentially benefit from the perks that their credit cards offer then it never hurts to share that information to those that are unaware.
In the big picture, I don't think $50 dollars is going to worry a big bank anyways. But if it allows someone to get another tank of gas or some groceries for the week, then I simply ask, why not?

I'm not sure I understand this comment. Why on earth would you not request a refund of $50 if you are eligible?
And...who's the one asking for donations from forum members??

I am not certain of the story policies in place for Argos. It never hurts to call the store you got it from and ask if they have a price match guarantee or some kind of similar program. I believe there are some US retail chains that allow you to price match even after purchasing for up to a certain time frame (usually 30 days). Best Buy is an example that I believe has this program but I'm not 100% certain as I haven't shopped there in forever.
If the store don't work out, why not give your credit card (assuming you bought it with a credit card) a call to see if they offer a similar benefit? As I mentioned earlier, I did not know that my credit card offered it until I called to see if they are able to match the new price.
I bought a 16GB model last Wednesday from Office Max. They have a 14 day return policy for electronics so I brought mine in yesterday and simply exchanged it for a new 32GB Nexus 7. No fuss, no muss.
Lol, that wasn't quite my point, and I should have elaborated. My point being you got $25 free credit so should only expect $25 back and when buying things you should expect the price to drop. We got a Samsung smart TV a couple months ago for £2500 and its now £2000. We can't just walk into the store and ask for the £500 we lost. Its just how things work.

If the store you bought the TV from (or credit card company) had a policy of refunding the difference if there is a price drop, and you were within that time period, suley you would have requested the £500 back?
Same principle here, they guy is just highlighting a policy that some people may not be aware of
It's not being cheap... it's managing your money. The reason you can do this is because the price dropped so quickly from release. If you can do it, go for it. $25 play store credit isn't the same as actual money. Sure, I could have $25 of apps.. but I haven't spent anything near that on the play store yet. But gas? oh yes...
I don't consider 5 months "so quickly" and if they bought it in the last month they should have known the 32gb was coming, the rumours where everywhere.

So, since the 8GB model was discontinued, I should be able to get a full refund right? lol
But in all seriousness, I take it this might not apply to the 8GB model, since there's no actual price on it now? Maybe even less of a chance of it being possible if you bought it from Play Store?

I wasn't an early adopter. I didn't have mine since release. I had mine just about 30 days out from the release of the 32. Most stores are now smart and place it on 14 day return policy. If I had mine since release, I would of been in the similar position with your TV and wouldn't care. The money is gone, bye. My bill for the N7 is actually due November 4th, so I still haven't paid it with my own money yet, it stings a little more in those shoes.
Anyways, it's an offer the credit card provides. I looked at Discover and they do the same. It's their "purchase protection" to win over customers. It's there, no extra cost. Why not? I would use it in a heartbeat if I had the option. This has nothing to do with being cheap. Being cheap would be buying an $80 budget tablet from some no name brand hoping it will function just like the N7.

I saw the rumors but didn't start to really swirl until after the end of my 14 day return policy. It was the KFHD that got me into this mess, got one from amazon, didn't like it even after root but it wet my appetite to get a new toy
But in the end, it is what it is.
five months is very quickly. Consider that not everyone preordered the nexus 7. And the fact that supply was limited until around august. Plus certain countries didn't even have the device for a while after the US release. Five months is short. Really, Google was just stupid to think 8GB would be enough as a starting point. A 7in tablet that's portable without 3G is supposed to stream things from the cloud? Wat....

How about three weeks? I'm a week past the Walmart 15 day 'return' policy. Had I known the 32 gig was coming out so fast (I was thinking maybe Christmas) I would have waited. Ya...I'm a little pissed...but I'm happy with the 16 gig version.

I did the math and this is less expensive option than getting a protection plan through T-Mobile or other carriers.
At $7.99/month, that's 95.88 for 1 year and that's not including the deductible.
The Squaretrade warranty is $125 for 1 year without the discount (which would make it less expensive so I WANTS A CODE!!!)
30% off $125 is a total of $87.50 and the deductible is $90.
WE NEED MORE CODES!!
Codes usually come email on Tuesdays.

I keep wavering on whether to pull the trigger on this or not, but with all of the glass on our phones, I'm paranoid as hell.
If we paid the typical $500 - $600 for the phone, off contract, it is probably a no-brainer, but at $299 (8GB model), it's tough to justify.
Today's deal is a max $30 off, for a 2=year warranty, making it $95. Add in the $99 deductible, and you're at a total cost of $194. $299 - $194 = $105 worth of "risk".
In other words, I have to pay $194 to save $105, IF I break my phone. Just don't know if that is worth it.
I thought it was cheaper than that. Given the life cycle of these phones and the chance that they actually break, its not justifiable especially if Google is going to keep this price format. A new nexus every year. Selling previous nexus on flea bay, let's say $150 making sure to take special care of the your nexus and buy a new nexus yearly for around $200.

Well done Google for looking after previous customers. I am waiting for the white to hit the UK store can't wait. No free bumper currently on the UK store for the black product so I guess the store may see the update next week.
I order another Nexus 4 on the 30th and they just told me the promotion started the 31st of May so I didn't qualify but they said they would look into it. Thanks for the tip though!
Sent from my Nexus 4
Just called them and they refuse to send me one since I purchased a black phone. Clearly in their FAQ and shows you get a black bumper free if you bought a black phone, or a white one, if you purchased the white version. I asked to speak with a manager or supervisor and I was transferred, rudely told the same thing. I explained that if I could just get a simple $20 refund, it'd be so much more easier on both ends than for us to have to ship items back and forth to one another.
They are offering me the option to return the phone and bumper I purchased just 3 days ago, minus shipping costs, and a 15% re-stocking fee. I'll be spending more money to just get a "free bumper" so forget it.
Google's customer service in comparison to amazon's is quite horrible. I can't believe they didn't offer me promotional credit to google play, or something in return for this unfortunate situation. With Amazon, if a situation like this ever occurred, they'd at least give me MP3 credit for a few songs, or extend my prime membership by a month.

I'm in the same boat as you, with the same issue and conclusion you came to. Even though I like the phone, this is thievery on google's part. Also it was rather asinine to not be able to just refund the purchase price of the bumper.
About to engage costumer support to see who the victor is, my device arrived on the 31st so I may be able to pull some bs based on that :cyclops:
Also I don't think they should be giving bumper refunds for any reason, as I see it is either you should get a bumper or not and I think we should.
am i the only one that feels that people are being greedy in this thread by calling Google thieves because they won't give them something for free because they bought something before a promotion started?

But are they making any more by giving away free bumpers to everyone now? Would they really lose any less by "giving" ones out to people who were unlucky and purchased the phone and bumper separately just days before this promotion?
I feel kind of screwed out of $20 since I just bought the phone a few days ago and they're not offering me any feasible solution.
I purchased it in India in a local shop, Google don't sell N4 via play store in India. It's LG who is selling it, So will I get free bumper ??

No, I agree with you. Certainly it depends on the timing of when the Nexus 4 was bought but, speaking from the perspective of someone who works in customer service, these are the types of calls I hate fielding. Why should a company have to compensate you for something you didn't qualify for? There's a certain point where it becomes entitlement and I hate that.

While I agree to some extent, they need to offer a better solution to those who bought the phone and bumper at the same. My gripe is not with getting the free case but seeing that i bought both i should at least be refunded the price of the bumper. Its was literally a day before the promotion, and they want to charge restocking fees, preposterous. In the end I'm not totally up in arms about it, because both are quality made products, its more of the timing.
Is T-Mobile giving the bumper away too?

With preorders starting soon where should I be ordering? I was planning on just ordering on the Play Store because that is where I ordered my Nexus 5 and 7 (2012). I'm currently on T-Mobile and have enough money to pay cash. Would there be any advantages in ordering somewhere other than the Play Store? I know the Play Store charge for shipping and Tax. I like that they have offered free screen replacement for the Nexus 5 recently. Even though I have never broken a screen on a phone before. I have been happy with google's service in the past. Any advice?
I will order it from whomever can it to me the fastest, but in this case it will probably be google.
In my opinion, if you have the ability to order from the Play Store, then that's where you should get it from. Google has great customer service and a great warranty policy, and you only get to take advantage of that if you order it directly from them.

Tax is really the only reason not to order from Play. You'll be waiting a few months before finding a place that you could get it from without paying tax and then you have to worry about poor customer service. Eat the tax and buy it straight from Google.

Exactly. I kind of see the tax and shipping as the cost of their great warranty policy. I had to warranty my N5 a couple weeks ago and the process was completely painless. I called them at like 3pm, and I had the replacement on my doorstep the very next day. That's some crazy fast replacement shipping.

As a Verizon customer, I fear that may end up being sufficient reason not to order from the Play Store. I really want to nab one ASAP, but if the Play Store version doesn't work on Verizon, I'll end up having to go through the hassle of returning it and buying from Verizon. :/

I know there was an option for quicker delivery. I feel kind of dumb because I can't remember which shipping option I chose (standard or rush). From the price, I'm thinking I may have chosen quick shipping as it looks like it shipped 2nd Day Air via UPS. What I can tell you is that it shipped from Lousville, KY on December 24th, and arrived on my doorstep December 27th.
I believe when I ordered my nexus 5 on launch day from google it was like $25-$30 for 2nd day. And I believe google is shipping on the 3rd? T-Mobile is the 12th? Just hope you get through to order. Lol

is it really the 3rd? that would be fantastic... but I can't afford it straight from google at the moment... i need to put it on a interest free loan somewhere xD I'm hoping amazon puts the phone up for preorders too. though I don't expect it with their push for firePhlolne
Damn tax plus 14 shipping. That brings it to around 780 dollars. 650 for the 32 GB was already pushing the limit for me (about 715 dollars with tax and shipping I'm estimating). I'm probably gonna have to wait for amazon for this. Amazon also has great customer service and free shipping for prime members so I'll be alright with them. (But then I'm gonna probably regret it later when google does some kind of great deal lol) I guess I'll decide tomorrow

Hey I forgot if AT&T charges shipping for pre-orders. Do they? I don't think I paid any for my S4 last year.
No taxes here in Oregon

As a Verizon customer, I fear that may end up being sufficient reason not to order from the Play Store. I really want to nab one ASAP, but if the Play Store version doesn't work on Verizon, I'll end up having to go through the hassle of returning it and buying from Verizon. :/

There are no 'versions'... All phone's are the same. This is a Nexus device, not a Google Play Edition of some other phone..
I'm getting it from the playstore.
Don't forget that if you get it from Play Store, then Google will replace it for free if anything goes wrong. I don't know if this is official policy but I've had friends use it and its excellent service. e.g. one friend complained his N5 wasn't getting gps signal regularly, sent it back and they sent him a new one.
So if paying full price, I'd rather get it from Google vs Amazon etc.
They will replace it, but with a refurbished model. It says so in the google play store terms of service.
Not that it's a bad thing, just giving people more clarity on this.
