This looks like a winner - I will be purchasing one tomorrow.

Thanks for the link!

I looked at a lot of ebook readers for my nexus 7 - Moon+ Reader is ok.

Personally, I prefer the kobo app for ebooks.

I have had one of these for about 4 months. It's a nice case, but my only issue is that, over time, the rotating mechanism damages the rubber on the back of the device. It's not major, but just something to keep in mind.

Is bidorbuy the only place that will sell cases? Does anyone know if Esquire will stock a case similar to their iPad Manhattan one? I'm looking for a thin cover which doesn't bulk up the device too much

I'm going to order: http://www.kalahari.com/electronics/Google-Nexus-7-Tablet-32GB-Wifi-only/4585/46620779.aspx

Can anyone recommend a good protective cover?

And secondly easiest/cheapest way to get wifi access for it. I have a Netgear DG834 v2 modem at present.

I got a sleeve bag thing from Incredible connection for 150 but its not a cover you just put it in and carry as a bag.

If you have a Android phone the Wi-Fi hotspot feature.
Any Mi-Fi device you will buy will not give you the same battery life as your phone

Are you all running 4.1.2 or have you manually installed 4.2? Also anyone root here?

CM10.1 (4.2.1) for me, mine was rooted within about 10 minutes of opening the box and had CM10.1 installed a couple of days later when I discovered how much I missed from CM.

Mine came with 4.2.0 pre-installed and updated to 4.2.1 over the air.

 

[Ghost02]

Find it stable and fast? I mostly just want to root for the security on my university network proxy.

 

[Necropolis]

I've had 0 problems with CM10.1 - flashed it the day I got my Nexus 7 back in December

And I've been flashing the nightlies as they are released.

 

[Ghost02]

Was it difficult to get it all rooted?

Was it difficult to get it all rooted?

this was the easiest device I have ever rooted

 

[Necropolis]

I used this to root mine. Took no time at all.

 

[ChrisJ]

Rooting was even easier than my S2. 0 problems with CM10.1 and extra functionality is great.

what extra functionality do you get with cm10?

 

[ChrisJ]

what extra functionality do you get with cm10?

The biggest advantage is tethering on the 3g version. Having a common version between my s2 and nexus is also very useful.
