Official Google Nexus 7 Thread

Are we talking about the N7 3G here?

probably not. I am waiting for my 3g version from firsttech and stock is only coming in on the 18th of December. It turned out to be only a R1000 more expensive than the wifi version but in my case I wanted 3g and was willing to pay the premium.
 
Looking at getting one of these today.

Any recommendations on cases?
 
Mine just says on hold, whatever that means, hopefully just a placeholder until it ships tomorrow

On hold is when the money still needs to be cleared by your bank. This was why mine was on hold

I went with a Thule Kindle Fire sleeve rather than a cover , since the device is already small, i don't want to bulk it up while using it. It is gorilla glass after all, not even sure i am going to bother with a screen protector.

I got this sleeve : http://www.thule.com/en/ZA/Products/Luggage/LaptopAndTablet/Gauntlet-Kindle-Fire-Sleeve

Was quite surprised at the price (R220, at some IT shop, Dion-Wired also stock Thule stuff) , considering how rugged it looks. Fits the Nexus 7 perfectly.

That said, look at the Kindle covers, they seem to be in all the shops now, most of them work perfectly for the Nexus. If you ask for a 7" tablet cover alot of the shop people just look at you with glassy eyes while there is an entire Kindle Accessory section right behind them *boggle* .
