The charger is 110v, but you can plug it in in a 220v outlet if it has the right holes (not sure if this will damage the device).
In the accessory department, the main thing you need is a case that protects it. You could also get screen protector for it (I don't use one). Those are the main things you need, everything else is software.

so... found some stuff, what to buy?
screen protector (i prefer to buy several)
clear 2 for 7$ ~ 3.5 each - http://www.ebay.com/itm/320712686821?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649

does any one have some experience with this products? also... i a pan for the nook a good idea or i can live without it? can order from DX any way

I have this silicone case...got it for $6 shipped http://www.ebay.com/itm/300585525691?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
A matte screen protector...http://www.ebay.com/itm/Anti-Glare-...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item588fd78478 .
And a rocketfish case from bestbuy that I found for $4.99.
I wouldn't recommend any bulky notebook like cases as it takes away from the sleekness of the nook color. Also makes it hard for gaming etc.

List of Necessary/Optional Accessories for the Nexus 7

Will that really work? If it does I'm buying it for sure, I could store a ton of my ripped DVD's in good quality that way.

Bro, for screen protectors I wouldn't go with anything other than an XOSkin. I've had one on my Nexus since it was unboxed the first day and wouldn't recommend anything else.

What warrants.. XO protector for 20 bucks... I can get like 3 of them on ebay for 5 bucks :|

An accessory by definition is not necessary.

Wet application vs dry application. Lifetime warranty (and they're good for it). If you've never used a wet application screen protector it would be hard to understand. Of all the advantages, the most important is that you can position it perfectly because it slides until it dries. Also, they don't scratch (drag a key across the 3 for $5 screen protector; you'll get a scratch on the plastic; not so on a wet-apply protector). And if you get dust or a hair under the protector during the application you can get it out; if you don't you won't be able to see it anyways (no bubbles). Oh, last thing: they don't peel at the corners or turn yellow. It's pretty much night and day. Take my word, I though the same way you did until I got one on a sale. Never going back...
BTW- I've never used XO protectors, but I'm tempted to jump since it appears they're the only ones with the nexus7 already. Had nothing but good experiences with clearprotector (and you can always get 50% off with coupon "iwantultra") but they don't have the nexus yet and I want it waiting for me when my tablet arrives....

Yes, by definition. But people who don't use accessories like cases and screen protectors usually end up damaging their devices, so, in my opinion, that makes them necessary. Things like USB-OTG and styli are just there for the people who want to use them. Either way, I feel that this can be a helpful thread for everyone, especially if it gets stickied.

Fair enough ( Though my phone has survived without either and only has a minor dent in the back )

What about tablet stands, bluetooth keyboards and UK links?

I've used good wet and dry protectors. Wet is basically like you say, but they never feel right to me. I just don't care for the "rubbery" feel. A good dry acrylic protector feels identical to the screen itself, and only has one drawback aside from a bit more work; they do scratch a little. Even that really isn't a big deal (to me) as the scratches are very light and "disappear" when the backlight is on.
Good dry acrylics (like Clarivue for example) don't yellow or peel. Also, while you do need to take a good amount of time and care to make sure no dust or hairs end up under the protector while you're applying it (you can always lift it back up to remove dust or hairs if they do get trapped), once it's done you'll never have to mess with it again.

Did anyone here who already has a Nexus 7 try the PU Leather Folio Stand Case? I'm planning on purchasing it. Does the screen automatically shut off when the flap is completely covering it?

I can pretty much guarantee it will not. The Nexus 7 doesn't have magnetic sensors, so the only method of screen on/off would be a proximity sensor, which I also don't believe it has.
I also question whether it's truly made for the Nexus 7 or not. There's a bunch of Kindle Fire or similar 7" tablet cases floating around that have been re-branded as "Nexus 7" cases. My recommendation is to wait until you can find a Nexus 7 case on an official manufacturer's website and purchase it there.

I just ordered the styluses that were in the OP. Said they will be here between August 1st and August 17th.

Awesome! I was holding out on purchasing it myself because of the wait, but now I'll certainly be buying it. I'll replace my link with your link.

I just bought the case from the above link. I'm still looking for cheap screen protectors (hopefully that come in packs). I don't know if I should purchase it from Hong Kong because that is going to take a while. What do you guys think? I'm hoping to purchase it tonight.

[Q] Looking for Nexus 7 essential accessories - what do you think they are?

I hope I'm posting in the right thread.
I'm looking into developing a backpack/case for all the essential accessories, each having its own pocket or spot. So far I've decided on:
Standard case/cover
Bluetooth keyboard
Stand (if not built into the cover)
Headphones
Speaker(s)
Extra long charging cable
Have I missed anything? What would you pack away for either school or business?

OTG cable, and maybe that powerbank backup battery. oh and lcd cleaning kit just in case, lol

Great! Didn't think of those, thanks button pushed!

hey , you're welcome glad to help.
And maybe uh 3G modems if they can get to work thru the OTG cable

Some memory sticks to go with the OTG cable, or a low-power portable hard drive. A mini USB mouse. A 4-port USB hub for the keyboard, mouse, and memory stick/hard drive.

If you're talking essential, you can lose the BT keyboard, but add an extension cable to your extral long charging cable, that was a life saver the other week when the only power socket was on the other side of the hotel room.

So.. it's just a universal mount made by Pleomax, who also supposedly makes Samsung official accessories? Kind of shady.
I'll wait for a real dock with a charger and preferably audio out over usb.

Nice, added to my watch list...

Pity that there is not a proper car dock yet. Had to buy a new car mount aswell. I just bought some pretty generic and cheap holder from Ebay to hold the phone in place while waiting for some cheap docking solution.

Advertising it as a Genuine Samsung Note 2 car dock is misleading.

I highly doubt it since there is no micro USB integrated into it. It's just a piece of plastic so your phone doesn't know it's in it.
Just put an NFC tag on the dock. When you insert it, it will do whatever you programmed it to do.
That dock looks like any ordinary eBay generic piece of plastic, BTW. Nothing special about it, IMO. I have a generic squeeze handle one and it works great with any case. The one in the OP looks to only work naked. Not worth the hassle, IMO.

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering since some phone and dock doesn't need to be connected to switch, which confused me on how does the docking work. Anyway I have some NFC tags but so far the is no good app to automatically enable the driving mode without starting S Voice. I tried tasker and I can configure it to switch to the car mode (the icon appeats) but it doesn't enable driving mode (the one which enable the phone to read out events).

Meenova Mini Micro SD Card Reader - OTG storage

I bought this on Amazon and it was delivered today. I paid $12.99 delivered with prime. This is a super easy way to use external storage with the Note 5. I opened the box, popped in my 128gb micro sd, and the phone immediately recognized it. Photo viewing or movie watching is seamless as if the card was in the phone itself. It's about a 1x1 inch square sticking out the bottom of the phone and isnt too annoying, but I pull it out before I throw the phone in my pocket. The little rubbery protective case is nice and there's a micro to regular usb adapter to plug into other stuff. Not bad for 13 bucks.

do you have a case on your phone, and if so, does it fit into the phone while the case is on?

I have this same thing and I have a couple Spigen cases and it works just fine with the cases I have. This is a great little product for devices that have no SD card slot.

Yes, I have an Incipio DualPro case and it fits. I'm trying out a really rugged case from Poetic tomorrow and I'll see if that fits too. I'll include some pics of both cases.

I have it too. I keep it on a keychain but am annoyed that the USB adapter is separate - I wanted that on the keychain too. Also the USB adapter stopped working. I just bought this that meets all the requirements... we'll see how it works when I get it... http://m.ebay.com/itm/Micro-SD-TF-T...3D161876565555&_trksid=p2056116.c100408.m2460
