And screen protector!
With the price being as low as it is, there's not really a 3rd party insurance that is worth the trouble. If you can get one from say bestbuy, where you get the bestbuy protection plan, its one story. They'll let you get a replacement right off the shelf with no waiting. These 3rd party insurance plans are more expensive to begin with, and they make you mail your hardware half way around the world turning it into a 2 week ordeal to get an issue fixed. The headache of dealing with the insurance company only over the phone and through emails and the longer wait just isn't worth it for something that you can buy for under $200.

The only one I found from Best Buy online was a16gb. It was on "sale" for $279 (I believe) . To make it even better, it was through a 3rd party business. SKETCH!
Walmart has a 2 year replacement plan for $28. Can't beat that.
out of stock all walmarts here so cali :banghead:

I just got my nexus yesterday from Walmart, and like the poster above me said, 28 is the best deal you're gonna get. Don't believe that Sold out crap. If you can buy and pick up at the store, they have it. If you're calling the store, they're just gonna tell you it's sold out without checking. Happened to me all day yesterday.

Go through Wally World online. Yeah it might not make it in time but worth the wait. I got my 32 for $249 which wasn't horrible but I was sold on the replacement plan that covers just about anything. And besides, Walmart takes just about anything back.

Agreed. Happened to me too. Go look for yourself, you just might get lucky.
Squaretrade+case
50 dollars for 3 years of accidental insurance+12 case. Pretty good imo
Squaretrade accidental 2 year policy. It does not cover lost devices but will cover damage with no deductible and a 5 day turnaround. They also hand out coupons like candy so the plan i got was roughly 35 dollars. Which is cheaper than some premium cases. Best option imho

Just itemize it under your homeowners or renters insurance. $200 coverage prob runs about $15 / year depending on who you are with.
I prefer to buy my electronic devices through Best Buy because of their insurance coverage (went through 3 DINC2's and didn't pay a penny to replacr) but they weren't selling them in my area. I ended up buying mine at Office Depot. Insurance was about $70 which I think may be a little too much, but it covers EVERYTHING.

OK so I bought my nexus 7 thru staples yesterday. I usually don't buy store warranties but they suckered me into getting a 1yr warranty with accidental coverage for 40 bucks. He said as long as I don't activate it I can return it. Now I can say my nexus seems fine. No screen lifts or dead spots so I think I lucked out there. I'm just wondering if that warranty is worth holding onto. Will these notorious issues pop up later in ownership? I mean honestly its a piece of mind for like less then 3 bucks a month I guess.

No one knows. This is googles first tablet and I believed they rushed Asus to produce this in 4 months. Only time will tell.

Should have went with a Square trade warranty. They are doing a special right now where you can get 2 years accidental coverage for $40

Sweet didn't even think of them. Looks like ill go with that instead since both warranties have no deductible.

IMO Playstore is your best bet. Its $14 for shipping, but you get a $25 playstore credit, a free copy of Transformers, and the best warranty service.

Walmart. Tax free weekend, I can have it now, and easy returns which unfortunately is a big possibility with this device. In fact, I've already returned one in 12 hrs due to ghosting, back light issues, and image retention. I tried to get the csr to annotate it on the return slip..but she just shrugged and said it was easier to write "doesn't work". Shame, hope it doesn't make it back on the shelf when someone unfamiliar with these issues thinks its fine because it boots and sends it back out into the wild.

I wasn't aware of that but it's still my understanding Google will only handle the warranty if you buy from them otherwise you have to deal with Asus.

I have always heard some good experiences with ebay although I cannot speak on the amount of money you would get based on how you configure your sale. I personally always go for craig's list because it allows you to work out an arrangement that you both can agree on instead of settling. Works best if you use the built in auto forward email feature so that you do not have to disclose your email address to potential buyers and leave the possibility of being bothered later when the Nexus is long gone. Good luck!
Regards,
Strassern

Craigslist for me too, so I can deal locally and in cash. If you have a problem on eBay there's nothing eBay will do to help and you will be out either your money or the device...
I sold my HTC flyer within 2 days on craigslist. While there are still crooks on cl, by dealing locally and in cash, I've never had any problem. I also use the email forwarder and provide no personal details until I can smell that all is on the up and up...

I think eBay will get you more money as far as "hey, I sold it for $175" but then when you pay the fees and the shipping you end up with $125 in your pocket. Craigslist will give you cash instantly (no gaming playing with PayPal), and you will probably get more in the end if you sell it for less money.

I sold my 8GB nexus 7 on ebay for $175 and walked away with a check for around $168. I've never used craigslist so I can't speak for it.

Umm im not sure what u you mean by eBay won't do anything but I have had nothing but great experience selling on eBay. Ebay will totally stand behind you and make sure everything goes as planned. Of course u always run the risk of sum1 not paying but that's about it...

Yeah but its not like you'll be out of anything besides time. You don't send the product until they pay. Some jerks will bid on a item with no intentions to pay but its not like you take a loss financially. Ebay will refund all fees associated with listing the item if the buyer doesn't pay. But it does suck if you have to go thru the hassle of relisting it again lol.

I second this.
my vote goes towards Amazon. this is where i sold my Asus TF101.
and 2nd to Swappa.
I go craigslist. But if you use craigslist post a number if you actually want to sell. Myself and everybody I know skip over adds that don't post a number, when I actually want to buy something I want to talk to you now not wait for you to ignore my email because your to lazy to take 30 seconds and delete your add (which really is that easy from an android phone) after a sell like a previous reply implied.
Thanks for the suggestions.

I would try another tech forum like Hard OCP or Anandtech or similar. Both have established markets with few incidents. Make sure the user can verify themselves, uses Heatware, etc. If that failed, I'd try Craigslist, meet publicly, cash-only, etc. The hits from either Paypal or Ebay alone is OK but NOT both. I only sell things on ebay if I know I can't sell it elsewhere (needs bigger market, niche item).
Hi, I got a Nexus 7 last December and loved it. Please note the passed tense because a month ago, a friend sat on my Nexus 7 and the screen cracked.
I have since been planning on buying a new screen on eBay for about $100. However, recently I have been hearing about the leaked specs of the next gen Nexus 7.
What I am wondering is if I should save up more money for the new one and just trash the old tablet with my friends scrawny butt imprinted in glass, or just fix it because the next gen isn't worth it.
I'd love to hear your thoughts because I can't decide.
Not to be a ****, but doesn't your friend have insurance that could refund that $100? It's normal here to be insured for breaking other people's stuff.

I once broke the back of his iPhone so it's not fair for me to make him pay for it.

Either sell it for parts. Hint hint. and save the money for the new Gen. Or fix it and sell it. Personally, I'd sell it for parts.

Most home owners or renters insurance has a deductible that's greater than the $100...

Yeah, that could work. Probably could get 50-100 for the cracked one, more if I include things like my case (probably won't fit the new one by my guess)
Sell them separate. Will take more time. But more money. If you want a quick 100 sell it as a whole.

Looking for the quick 100, I really miss having a tablet. :'( Also it has been rumored that the base model of the next gen will only be $229 (current gen 199) so I will have most of the tablet paid for by the time it comes out. I think I've made my decision, thanks everyone
So most of you really won't give a hoot but I got the new nexus 7 the Friday that it released, really liked it but after a week or so I started feeling a little underwhelmed so I put on ad on craigslist, knowing that the 32gb was in demand I decided to try push my luck and see if I could get a good smart phone in a trade with as little cash as possible.... Well Friday morning I traded the Nexus 7 and $60 for an unopened black mist 32gb galaxy S4, it was a no brained not to do, anyways yesterday I started looking at tablets again as I was missing my N7, I was trying like crazy to get stores to match office max's 20% offer but couldn't, I was gonna just buy the one 16gb that one of the store s had but I decided against and I would wait for a 32gb in a few weeks...
Well this morning I look on Craigslist again out of interest seeing if their was any decent tablets on for reasonable money, i looked in the computer section and their was a nexus 7 just listed, all it said was nexus 7 32gb for $150.... I get there expecting the 1st gen, I was gonna offer him $120 for it, out he walks of his house....its only a 2nd gen brand new sealed never touched.... I just got a brand new 32gb N7 FHD for $150!!! I didn't even make him an offer, I just took it in excitement... I am a lucky lucky guy this weekend!
