    Any indication where I could pickup a case from a walk in store?

    Preferably not costing the bollox of me either


    Yeah, if anyone knows a bricks & mortar shop I could buy a cover in, it would be great. Worried I'll scratch it to shíte if I don't get one soon!

    I'd love a magnetic-ey one, but any will do to protect it!

    I'm using one of these I had for the Flyer. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005HI3S3Q/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i01
    It'll keep it safe when not in use until I pick up one of the official cases. I'm hoping Otterbox release one.

    Use Parcel Motel, new website. There is a thread about it over in bargain alerts. Basically if site only delivers to Uk address then this will work. Item gets sent to their UK address and they ship to parcel motel locations they have set up around the place. One around the corner from me. Also free credit initially which may help your decision.

    Just ordered a case from amazon.co.uk. Just before I read that post about parcelmotel. :rolleyes: I forgot amazon don't historically like shipping "electrical goods" to Ireland.

    I'll wait and see, I expect an email shortly telling me to feck off back to my spuds and stop trying to get cool swag shipped to my farm. :P

    If Amazon didn't stop you at the address stage then there will be no problem.

    Ordered this one!

    That is all done away with now.

    Sure I ordered an Xbox 360 with loads of games there last year and most recently got some PC components for my father

    You will be fine :)

    I'm browsing through cases myself there ( have some credit ) not sure what to go for ;)

    If you have screen issues just microwave your tablet and you'll get a replacement within hours.

    You should post a thread stating it blew up itself so your claim seems legit.

    Here's Google's own cover for the Nexus 7.

    I think I like the look of it, although it looks very rubbery in the image.

    guys, dont have the heart to trawl through a lot of pages:

    any luck with anyone reading a comic page in portrait on the nexus 7? ideally 10 inch screen are best, but im wondering with this one, what with the high resolution.

    thanks for trying.

    comicrack is a really good app if need to try..

    There was a segment on this on the All abuot Android podcast two shows ago. Basically all 7 inch will be small but there are ways around it by zooming in or using software that displays one panel at a time. BUT if you want the traditional view of a comic then the larger tablets are better.

    I was literally about to say the same thing...

    All about Android show where it's discussed: http://twit.tv/show/all-about-android/67

    And here's the actual answer on it from Ron Richards: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7fZaffpq4s&t=8s&noredirect=1

    This should answer your question about the comics.

    My first post from my Nexus :)

    What's that case like? Bulky? Looks quite nice and has magnetic cover/stand plus advantage of seller being in Ireland.

    Also just unlocked/rooted mine... fairly easy process using the Toolkit.
    If your going to do it, do it early as you have to reset back to factory setting so you will lose apps etc (there is a backup option included in the toolkit though for your apps). Have it backed up now with CWM as well just in case :)
