I actually like the asus nexus 7 case... but I'm a nice guy, I'll sell it to anyone of ya for $80
OP, you wrote " Official Nexus 7 cases selling for over $100 on eBay"
Now, I feel compelled to point out..."listed for" and "selling for" are two different things. You'd have to send me a link of one that sold...and got paid for...before I believe it.

If you would have looked more carefully, you'd see DROID - Life put the link in the article, and the auction ended at $105. Whether he gets paid is yet to be seen.

Deeeeefinitely not worth the price tag. I would say keep it in the box until they become available, but due to most 30 day polices and all these defects, I'd just as soon hold off on purchasing the device until it's all available at once like it should have been from the beginning.

Just ordered mine too, and i didn't get no notification either! but happy to buy one.
Quick, order 100 and post it on ebay!
They are available in the play store for $20.
Unfortunately the shipping is $10 and you might have to pay tax ($2.17 - GA) for me.
I am disappointed in you google!

Just a heads-up to anyone who may have purchased at Best Buy. I was there picking up The Lion King 3D yesterday morning (don't judge me!) and while waiting in line at customer service for them to apply my pre-order to my transaction, I noticed that the Bionic's tag listed $229.99. I immediately went to the girl working Best Buy Mobile and asked her to refund me the difference, which was done with no problem, as Best Buy offers 30 days for mobile hardware returns.
So if you snagged up your Bionic at Best Buy, get back there before your 30 days are up and get yourself some moolah back. My difference was $74.20! Hope this helps someone out.

Nope. She just pulled up my receipt (because I asked her if I had to run home to get it) and they did a return/resale and just refunded me the difference. Piece 'o cake.

I just went up to her and said, "I just noticed that the Bionic is considerably cheaper than when I bought it. Since there's a 30-day return policy on phone hardware, I can be refunded the difference, right?" She immediately confirmed. I can't promise they'll be nice enough to look up your receipt or not make you bring in your packaging and such (if they are, indeed, douches) but per policy, they can't tell you no, so long as it's within 30 days.
Awesome man! Thanks for all your help...going to do this tomorrow...ill let you know how it goes!

Yes, because best buy has a 30 day price match guarantee on just about everything they sell. This applies to their own changes in price and to "local businesses" pricing. So if walmart/radioshack lowered the bionic best buy will match the competitor price if you are in 30 days of your phone purchase.
Thanks for this. I hit day 30 today and still managed to get the refund. Good find.
NEED OPINIONS?
If gamestop is selling the nexus 7 in stores beginning tomorrow (12th). What's to stop me from calling google and canceling my order, hopping in the car and buying one over the counter tomorrow morning? Problem? I'll call around to the gamestops in my area to see if this is possible. anyone have some insight for me on this topic? WILL IT WORK?
no, order cancellations are being blocked. but you can return it when it does come.

I don't think gamestop is going to start selling them tomorrow. Google hasn't given them the go ahead yet.
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda app-developers app
Depends on what happens, if you have been following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737556 you would know that gamestop may or may not have received an email from google telling them not to sell tomorrow. Also a lot of people who called google to try and cancel have been told its too late to cancel and they would need to wait till after delivery, return/refuse delivery and wait a few weeks for refund.

Here's whats stopping you...
I'm 99% sure you have to be on a preorder list from Gamestop to buy one...
You're not going to stroll in to gamestop and just pick up a Nexus 7 off the shelves. Gamestop has already hit their national wave 1 quota from google. I preordered my nexus 7 on Saturday, the 7th and I'm on wave 2. With that said, I don't know how stores would have nexus 7's just available to a general consumer to come in off the streets.
Keep your existing preorder.....

When I first read your username I thought it said Hemorrhoids.... word to the wise.
I placed a preorder through Gamestop and what a slickdeal (thanks for the heads up slickdeals!)
Bought two ipod touches off craigslist for 60 and 65
Traded them both in for $240 credit
270 (after taxes) + 125 (craigslist ipods) - 240 (trade in credit) = 155 for a brand new Nexus 7
freakin SCREAMING awesome deal. whooooooot
Can't wait to get my hands on this tablet, especially for such a killer price. Thanks slickdeals and gamestop LOL

I was thinking about going into gamestop to preorder it or wait until it comes out. If I don't preorder, do I still get the 25$ giftcard
Don't cancel your pre order you will cry baby tears if you do.

If you pre-order from Sam's Club and then find/buy the Nexus 7 somewhere else, Sam's won't cancel your order!
Their "policy" is that you have one hour to cancel your order!
One hour is pretty ridiculous, if you ask me. I talked to a Sales Rep. who wouldn't do anything about my order but quote me their cancelation policy. I pre-ordered on 12 Jul with shipping to take place between 20 and 24 July. They probably don't have any in stock but they still won't cancel an order. They also put a hold on the funds with my bank!
Looks like I'll just have to refuse the delivery if they go that far!
Last time I'll ever order something through Sam's Club!

Still sounds much better than preordering from Google Play. No updates. No shipping confirmations. No cancellations other than perhaps refusing the delivery. So yeah, never again.

I preordered on the 28th and managed to cancel my order on the 10th july by sending an email request, then an order status request
This is no different than the Google Play policy.
I realized I accidently ordered the 8Gb model. Called 90 minutes afterwards and they said they couldn't cancel the order since it was over an hour. Even though I was on hold for at least 45 minutes.... I'd have to refuse shipping once it got to my house. So I have two of them coming tomorrow. One of them I have to send back then wait a few weeks for the money.
Are they out of them now? I got mine Friday from Sams Club and they had like 14?

I purchased three from Google but decided to pick three up from Sam's club and one out of the three has all kinds of problem,The screen has yellow bleeding, Dead pixels,The left side of the glass is really loose & the screen flickers really bad but the other two devics are fine. If you decide to go the Sam's club route I would check it out well. Sam's club has a good exchange and return policy so at least that's good and a 1/3 chance you'll get a defective unit are decent odds

This does not mention ability to act a a stand either..I'll wait, the perfect case is coming!
the creases make it look like it has stand function but there are no pictures of it using the stand. That would be the determining factor for me. I need it to have a case that stand up.

I have one from that same manufacturer for my ipad and it's quite nice!
I like it! Thanks for posting this. I'll bookmark it and wait for the price to drop.
If i can use it as a stand and it comes in COLORS... then we might have a winner
that's the one for me. Hope it's available in Amazon UK.
Best case so far. Shame that we never get a front only case , but i hope we get something close. I quite like the back as is, without adding an additional case.
Thanks for the find though!

No mention of when they may have stock either. I'll wait and get it from the Play store thanks.
Yea i think if you live in a country with access to Play store go with it ^_^ and if you live in a country where u cant get it from there you have to go with handtec or clove i think
Actually, considering the price that will be in Belgium, ordering from this website is not that expensive.
Luckly for me, a French friend will order it for me
I beleive this is targeted at people in European countries without the Playstore. Handtec arent new to gray imports, they sold me an Asian/Middle Eastern TyTN II about 4 years ago.

As mentioned this is more for those who can't get it via Play Store, and anyone outside of the EU can benefit by getting it VAT free.

Hi, You have the LG/Google Nexus 4 (16GB, SIM Free/Unlocked) listed as available shortly, can you give me a timeline as to exactly what 'shortly' means?
Naomi says:
We are awaiting full confirmation of dates etc from our suppliers, we should have more info later this week
Naomi says:
this will be placed on the web page as soon as we have the information
Mark says:
ok, I know that it's going to be available on google play from the 13, are you likely to have them soon after that?
Naomi says:
we certainly hope to, but currently have no confirmation. I understand Google Play will begin taking orders tomorrow, but they may not ship immediately
Yes, last week they told me they would start shipping the devices in the end of November.
EDIT: I just talked to them once again and this time they told me that the phone most likely will be available for purchase next week. I might actually order it there as it's the cheapest option I could find. (living an EU country with no Play store).
Another option would be to use Forward2me's personal shopper feature and get it shipped from there but it would cost the same as just ordering from Handtec (350 UK pounds)

You can't now. They closed pre-orders. Only problem I encountered was the fact that shipping address had to be the same as the address and information on the card. Make sure that fits and you'll be fine.
Fuuc, im getting crazy over here, they said 2 weeks ago that last week they would supposedly get a confirmation date from their supplier/LG.
But im waiting, and no date yet..
Starting to loose my mind.
Hopefully sooon. Or i might consider a suicide. Im joking.
