I have this one, I think editor and Badgers have the same case, I highly recommend it for the price:

My mum has a stylus for hers, she swears by it - it gets on my tits. However they're only a couple of quid and you may get on with it.

What do you think of these remarks about the case firky:
'1) Cases like this which cover some/all of the bezel inevitably make it more difficult to swipe/press at the very edge of the screen. I wasn't aware how much this impacted things until I tried another case. Doesn't actually stop you using the device at all, but does make some actions (notification swipe down etc.) more awkward.
2) There is little or no protection if dropped on to a corner. Compare to the snap-in type cases which usually have a hard shell edge at the corner. My original Nexus 7 now has a lovely pitted dent in the corner where my son dropped it, in the case, onto a tiled floor. Thankfully the screen didn't shatter, but it was a close run thing by the looks of things.'
All of them get mixed reviews, shame there's no perfect one. Understandably, amazon has more than a few arsey buyers.
If this is the best of the bunch I'll get it

Erm,
1) Can't say I have ever noticed the first one being a problem. I can only assume they have the dexterity of a drunk gorilla.
2) Totally stupid point. My car does not have a crumple protection zone in places but that does not mean it isn't safe. As if you have any control over when / how and where you drop it anyway.
The one I link to gets my thumbs up and I'm sure editor and Badgers will give it a thumbs up too, plus for a tenner - even if you don't like it you haven't lost much.
My biggest complaint would be it turns the N7 into being a slim beast into something a bit more noticeable.
Oh and that seller took a fucking year and a day to dispatch mine but that was probably because I bought it the week the N7 came out

I've just downloaded a free one month trial. Am I missing something or is it just that it has better predictive text but is otherwise pretty basic? I want one like swype that I can move smoothly between the keys.

There's a SwiftKey flow beta going on for the tablet. http://vip.swiftkey.net/index.php?/topic/6018-swiftkey-flow-beta-apks/page__pid__42614#entry42614

Bluetooth audio streaming still a big issue for me. And many other people. Grrrr.

Shouldn't cause a problem once it is installed. I just let myself install from wherever.Got it downloaded cheers. Had to change a security setting 'unknown sources app installation' to get it to work. Not sure if changing the setting back will cause a problem?
Still getting a prompt to choose 'input method' though
I switched from swype because on my s3 it constantly wants me to select my input method.

A bug I have come across a couple of times.
If you set alarm and go to switch it off by the side button the alarm will continue to sound. Not a problem you think, "I'll drag down the menu from the top left and hit dismiss". Only that doesn't work, and it will continue to sound. Even if you go into the clock function and turn it off. The only way to get it to go off is to ignore it (it only sounds for about 10min) or turn the tablet off.
I have my alarm set to go off at 6.30pm every night to remind me to take my tablets (if only!) and I often hit the side button out of sheer habit to mute it.

Is auto-brightness on? Maybe it is adjusting it's self. I have it turned off and brightness turned down to minimum to preserve battery life and can't say I have noticed this problem.

Look in settings, there's a security thing to let you install apps that haven't been verified by Google.
Has anyone tried Google's gesture search? It's class. Couldn't do without it now.

Bough a lente designs cover, and am rather pleased with it. Very good build quality, have had it for about a month now and so far no complaints.
Also does anyone haveit a problem posting to U75 using Android Firefox? Entering text is impossible, the cursor seems to jump back in to the middle of word causing garbage to be entered. Then when you try and use backspace to clear it up, it doesn't work. Will delete maybe one letter before the cursor again skips to a random location. No other site seems to have this problem...well so far anyway.

This!
I recommend you use an app to read forums. Tapatalk and ForumRunner are the most popular. Tapatalk HD was designed specifically for the Nexus 7.

Has garf got your account? You're leaving a lot of fullstops in between sentences.
If you ask the admin of the other forums they use they can add Tapatalk to the list. It is free and a small plugin. The app it's self has one or two annoyances but it is far better than viewing it from a browser.
