    Thanks OP, great value. Only slightly more expensive than the cheap crap tablets doing the rounds in aldi/tesco

    I'd say they are on their phone, does that sometimes multiply posts by not letting you know it was posted.

    Nicked from HDUK. Last years models. 16gb @ £99 or 32gb @ £119

    I'm tempted myself, but the lack of a HDMI out has always stopped me getting a nexus

    I think they will only work with the 2013 model, not the 2012 one?

    Went with a 32GB. Even as a refurb, I think that's cracking value @ ~€145.

    If only!! Probably could do with a standby or 2 given the number of times the old one got dropped!

    I was posting from my Samsung tablet last night and it double posted - then when I tried to delete one, another one popped up so I gave up! Seems to be happening to a few posts lately...

    Ordered one. Great offer. Thanks OP.

    Anyone know where I can order one of the official cases for this model? Amazon isn't throwing up results for it.

    Looks like Argos refurb stock is gone. Dabs outlet are also selling the 32gb version at £110. The warranty is only 6 months though, 3 month manufacturer's warranty + 3 months from dabs.

    The cheapest place I've seen a NEW one is the carphonewarehouse UK site. 16gb ones are £119 there.

    Yes, when I say 'new' I mean a new and unused 2012 version, rather than a refurb.

    32GB refurb back in stock here at GBP£120, showing as 55 available but will probably go fast like last time.
