Joined the club as well.

Great little device. It is easier to handle, and is lighter than the iPad.

Where can one find accessories for this delightful fondleslab? :D

To orientate yourself w.r.t. what is available, take a look at the XDA section on accessories: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1676

I got a case for my Nexus 7 on BidorBuy, do a few searches over there. If you do not find what you are looking for, importing is probably your only option.

Enjoy the new tablet!

anyone bought a unit from esquire?

just got one now and the original sealing stickers were already opened
some black insulation tape was put over it

is this normal??
i just find it very strange for this to be done?
I called them to ask about it but they say its normal.....

Sounds odd to me, I wouldn't be happy accepting a opened device. I wouldn't say that is normal.

I got mine from Esquire about 10 days ago
Was properly sealed - once you slide off the outer sleeve, there were 2 see through round stickers on opposite sides of the black box

There are plenty of unboxing videos on Youtube to compare to your experience

Yeah that is piss poor IMO. I wouldn't have accepted it like that. Sorry but when you buying something brand new and especially from a reputable place you at least expect it to be sealed.

How do you know it wasn't a returned unit, or one of the staff played around with it for a few days and then stuck it back in the box. I am pedantic about things like this, but there are people who wouldn't be too bothered by it.

I agree with you 100%! You should always return a package, if you think it's packaging is dodgy, ie obviously opened, closed again with sticky tape, tampered seals, etc
 
Been waiting for the new Jelly Bean 4.1.2 update for a week now and nothing came through

So, after googling around, I found this

========================

Force the Nexus 7 4.1.2 Update
FIRST!!!, charge your Nexus 7 and leave the USB cord in

THEN:
1. Go to Settings -> Apps -> All

2. Find Google Services Framework.

3. Tap on Force Stop.

4. Select Clear Data.

5. Head back to the Nexus 7’s Settings, go to About, and check for a System Update. (Note the date will be in the 60's its okay)

Repeat steps 1-5 if initial attempt did not work

====================

My Nexus was not plugged in, but was fully charged

I did not do step 3, only did step 4 - clear data

Then tried Settings - About tablet - System updates - Check now

And immediately my update was available - 31 mb and dated 1970 (normal)
It updated in about 10 minutes

My Nexus 7 is not rooted, so i don't know how this will behave

Hope this might help some impatient users ;-)
