    Probably going to be cheaper that Play Store as, IIRC, Play Store whacks on about a tenner for shipping.

    Bought a OnePlus One this morning and will look forward to this this evening!

    Wow, those UK prices are MUCH higher than the US prices, right?

    I searched for the 32GB Wifi model on bestbuy.com, approx. €410 converted including sales tax
    The same on Amazon.co.uk is €500 converted!

    Tech has always been roughly $1 = €1. I assume the item you were looking at was the 32gb model which is $480 I think. So same as always. Not a good idea to actually work it out as it will make you sad. :(

    £409 for the 32gb after paddy tax. Exchange is bad at the moment. About .79 so roughly €517 then whatever the bank charges.

    Nexus 9 (32 GB, Wifi, Black) @ €489.00 Playstore link.


    Above price probably doesn't include shipping?

    they have a case/stand as well on the playstore for 39 euro, not available yet, just says "coming soon". I wont be paying that, I will wait for amazon to get a case just as good if not better for half the price.

    That works out slightly cheaper than amazon, I wonder if I should cancel my amazon order and re-order direct from playstore?

    Has anyone got an image of the folding cover from the play store... I'm living in exile and can't access it.

    I have seen this one, but don't know how it is meant to protect the screen. I carry my tablet in a satchel and am tired of the bulky zip up case I'm using now...

    Yep, this is the one on the PlayStore.

    €39 and the colour is called Lime Stone.

    It covers the screen and covers the back when in use!

    How are you supposed to type an email when its propped up like that? It should fold in three, not in two... This could actually be the deciding factor for me.

    I'm currently using an Asus Transformer and can honestly say, its been over a year since I used the keyboard.

    I'm sure ye can just flip it over to type.

    It seems to fold at several angles so I'm sure i'll work fine.

    If this is what you mean, it doesn't seem very practical or secure.

    €90 for an extra 16gb of storage?

    Disgusting gouging from Google! The same upgrade for a Nexus 7 only costs €40!

    That's an outrageous price. It'll be ~€140-€150 here at that rate, making a 32GB Nexus 9 + official keyboard cover at least ~€630.

    The origami cover is a bigger joke than the official "folio" (glorified bumper) they produced for the second gen Nexus 7.

    I went with a Speck FitFolio for my first gen 7 and a Devicewear Ridge for my second gen 7 as I like this style of case much more than the iPad-esque "triangle" stand cases like Poetic Slimline.
    The official keyboard case for the 9 apart from having a keyboard props up the tab in a similar way, so I like the style of it. But there is not a chance that I would pay €140+ for a case whenever I hopefully down the line get round to buying a 9 .

    The "Euro tax" is over the top. The 32GB version is €479 here, but $479 in the USA, which translates to €375. I'm visiting Jacksonville, Florida in December, where they have 7% sales tax; so if I was to buy one in a store there, I could get 32GB for €401, just above the price of a 16GB version here. Can I wait that long ..?

    It's even worse than that by a tenner. They want €489 for it here. :(

    Well I hope you can, coz you'd be saving the price of a mighty nice case for your Nexus if you do, or at least a sizeable chunk of the price for the official keyboard case, if you are willing to pay the asking for that.

    I think you're right: if I was to pre-order from Google today, they say "dispatch in 2-3 weeks", meaning it would arrive in about 4 weeks, if all goes to schedule. My flight is 8 weeks today. So I think I'll be checking out the electronics stores in Philadelphia Airport between flights ...
