HI all,
Got my G Pad from Newegg Tues. and am very pleased. No problems - no light bleed (used the light bleed app to test), no lines of any kind that I can see. My S/N started with 310 - white color, and the box was not sealed. As you can guess I did my research on this forum before buying. I love the size.
Bought it to replace Ipad mini retina which I had bought on black friday. Yes the mini has 1 big problem (which nobody ever seems to mention) - it keeps dropping my wifi signal.It also doesn't see many of my neighborhood wifi signals - it sees maybe 1 or 2. The G pad and my other android tablets see 8 or 9. By the way - I tried out 2 minis - both had the wifi problem.
My first (and probably last) Apple overpriced product. It is going back. I also got the opportunity to hate iTunes.
Cheers,
catapp
My S/N is a 310, and I just got my tablet from newegg also. Same, no problems here with mine.

Purchased mine from newegg late on the 5th for $279. It's black, sealed, and wifi works great.
My RMA just got accepted so hopefully this time they get it right. ???

LOL that seal does not look like it was applied at the factory. I'm guessing Newegg got the message and started sealing them in the warehouse. Which I don't see as a problem if it makes customers happy. Personally I bought mine from NE on Cyber Mon. and it didn't matter to me that it wasn't sealed. Sealed or not LG should be faulted for letting these leave the factory in less than pristine condition.

I've actually purchased electronics from them that are a 5 or 6 that I would rate alot higher than that. As a matter of fact I just got an Evo 4G from them that was rated a 6. I'll see on Friday how good it looks.
And good find. Im thinking about getting one of them.
I bought " 5 " rated phone from Cowboom and found it to be in bad cosmentic shape and partially working . I returned it and the refund was processed in timely amnner . I recommend buying "6" or better .
Appears they are not longer discounted. Interesting site nonetheless.

Sales there only last for one day. If they have leftovers, it usually makes it to eBay after a month.

I had this shipped from bestbuy.com last week, It was tablet #3 of 4 i ordered. All four had all thier seals broken and this was the worst one i had opened. I opened the shipping box to find the note box totally open with the tablet just floating around inside. This is totally unacceptable, just putting this out there so you all can see how best buy is running things to.

I had my 32gb delivered to their store. My seals were intact and tablet is in excellent condition.
I bought three in the store. One for my girlfriend and 2 for me because my first one didn't respond to my stylus and all three were sealed and perfect aside from the one issue

I ordered my 32gb from amazon and ill be getting it tomorrow will see if this one is sealed compared to bestbuy.
That's lame. I just got 16gb WiFi/3g model in the mail today, from Negri, sealed & everything.

Did they order you another one without problem?
I wonder if it could be postal employees... taking a sneak peak
Definately, going to video my unboxing to make sure I dont get an open box tablet.

I ordered 4 because I figured at least 1 would be good. So I kept the best out of the 4 and returned the other 3. I video taped the unboxing just in case they tried to say I opened the box's and broke the seals.

Wth..... 4?! You must have had a streak of bad luck in the past im guessing.. sucks man. Yeah i wish we carried the 32 in store. Corporate decisions *sigh
we don't see things as they are; we see things as we are.
Maybe bestbuy clerk loved your tablet
I think originally the GN 10.1 used perforated security tape that was easy to break and that's what happened when they get thrown/kicked around by the shipping company. My 2nd GN 10.1 didn't have perforation on the security tape and came sealed on both ends whereas the 1st with perforation tore on one side.
Just recieved mine 32g today from Bestbuy. The sealed are indeed perforated right on the seems and unfortunately the seals are both broken. But all the stickers on the tablet was intact and no finger prints so its currently charging before I play.

This seems to happen a lot with these 32 gb units. I think that early on.there was a problem with 16gb units being shipped in 32gb boxes. They may have just been confirming.

Even if there's a perfectly understandable reason for it, I don't think the public should ever have to settle for a box with broken seals. I bought my 16gb in person at a best buy store. They brought one of each color to the front desk, and all the seals were broken. They were reasonable and brought me a tablet with seals still in tact. I later exchanged this one because it crashed during an OTA update. At the customer service desk, they had trouble finding another one in a sealed box.
you gotta do a search on amazon because i am not allowed to post links it seems
Amazon has the note10.1 dark grey 16gb on sale for 409 plus 5 bucks shipping from one of there 3rd party sellers. amazon itself has the same tablet for 423. i just ordered it from amazon for the 423 because i feel safer dealing with amazon if there is any issues. not sure when they dropped the price but it was 449 this morning. might one to jump on it while it's up. i signed up just to post this:laugh:

Pretty good deal, I would have went with the one for $423.00 also. I was lucky last Christmas and got a new sealed white one on ebay for $385.00 delivered, sometimes when you role the dice you win.
Newegg has a 16gb refurb for $370.
Not really a good deal i think. i bought mine 16Gb wifi refubished ( 100% like new) + bundle (case+ usb connection kit+ extra s-pen) for $360 (after tax) last week.

It may not be........
I thought mine was also but its not.
I turned off my screen and took a very bright flashlight beam and low and behold there is 2 specks of dust suspended in the coating on the screen.
You can not see it until you shine a very bright light (1000 lumens), blinding light in fact.
So unless something else would happen to my Note i'm not sending it in.

Wow, my is refurbished. So i guess i cant complaint. The speck of dust didn't bother me at all, but what bothering me is ive noticed a thin thread, like a hair, about 1 mm long underneath the screen. Its very visible when the screen is on. I guess that's why its refurbished.

If you're willing to do the repair yourself, you can probably get one for less then 300 CAD. I got my Note 10.1 with a cracked (one very fine line) touch layer for only 296.63 CAD from Surplus by Design http://stores.ebay.ca/id=679161510&ssPageName=STRK:MEFSX:SST&_trksid=p3984.m1543.l2533
A new touch layer will cost me less then 30 CAD total from a Chinese eBay seller.

Aww, it's not there anymore.

I will probably keep the tablet. I only paid 292 + tax for it at best buy and it was bundled with spen, case, and USB adapter. I figure for that price i might as well keep it.

A little bit better than Black Friday $199 deal. Device is very snappy with the latest 4.4.2 update.
Same price as Amazon.

Nice for those who don't live near a Best Buy. Now that Amazon charges tax I prefer to buy local to avoid shipping delay and return/replacement is easier.
Well i got my nexus for 189 @staples last week but is nice deal to?

Wow! I should should've waited. I paid full price for mine months ago but still loving it especially after 4.2.2.

I picked one up at Staples with price match (almost saved tax plus 5% Staples reward). This was my 2nd try at new N7. I bought one when they first came out. I returned it immediately because the screen wasn't any better than my original N7. This one is so much better. It seems perfect. I also picked up a gpad 8.3 at BB. It's going back mostly due to poor brightness.

Both black and white models of the LG G Pad 8.3 are on sale at Newegg for $229.99
Great time to pick one up!
FYI, they come loaded with 4.2.2, if you don't want to deal with rooting and recovery in 4.4.2.
Added it to my cart, price went up $20 to $249.
Picked up a black one last week from Newegg. Loving it so far. FYI, I ordered it late Wednesday evening and paid a little extra for the 3-4 day shipping and I received it Friday morning.

That's The Final Nail In The Proverbial Coffin..
BestBuy has phased out the 8.3 completely on the U.S. West Coast.. There is ZERO supply available.
This makes the Newegg the sole supplier of V500 tablets in the U.S. and they are on "Fire Sale" there as well.
The Clock is Ticking.
I order mine and it will be this Tue.
Why is it on a fire sale? I am happy with the price and the black one is on sale again for same price.
I hope these sold well so LG will make a new one. I'm troubled by Samsung might be pushing out other manufacturers with their attack of the every size tablet. This is my first LG Android device and I like the lack of bloatware and smoothness it has. My only complaint is about the screen and the problem is software related (gamma) and not hardware related. LG could fix it by offering screen profiles like many LCD/TV manufacturers already do.
Went to Best Buy and they price matched it. I'm loving it.
