I need help and suggestions.. :)

MrDoug · 10-13-2012, 08:58 PM

I just bought a NEW Nexus 7 which I like.. however I just saw (maybe kinda late) that the new iPad Mini is coming Oct 23.. I now have 10 days to return the Nexus 7.. or should I wait for the iPad Mini or keep my Nexus 7? .. Bottom line.. keep Nexus 7 and forget iPad Mini, or return Nexus 7 and get iPad Mini..

or keep Nexus 7 and buy iPad mini and sell the one I like the least..? I have Nook Glo for Books, but like the Color Tablets for Magazines and Newspapers.. I am very up in the Air.. Very sick person here that doesn't know what to do..

Thanks,
Doug.

Expect the iPad mini to cost at least $399.-. If that is no problem for you, then choose whatever you prefer, iOS or Android.

If you have any doubts about keeping the Nexus, return it.
You can always buy another later, no?
Buyer's regret can be long-term painful.

Hi, I have the Nexus 7 and the iPad 3 (this comment is intended to prove that I am not a fangirl of a specific camp).
The Nexus 7 has a much better screen resolution than what the iPad Mini is rumored to have, but until 10/23, we won't know for sure. This in itself would hinder me from chosing the iPad Mini or whatever its official name will be (I rather suspect it will be iNewt or iNote) over the Nexus 7.
I like my Nexus 7 and really only bought it because I also have a bad case of GAS, and I don't use it nearly as often as my iPad, which is literally attached to my hip. I usually use my iPad for surfing because I prefer the larger screen.

I use a really cute Nook Color sleeve, since I am not as concerned about breaking it as with my iPad, which has a real cover around it. It is bright orange inside and hot pink on the outside, so probably not quite what you are looking for

I need something that also has a back brace that lets it rest at a 45 degree angle in Landscape positon.. I have one for my iPad.. where did you buy your Nook sleeve? I should take my Nexus down to B&N store and see if any of theres will fit .. they may not appreciate that though..

xendula · 10-14-2012, 02:01 PM

No, for the 360 ones, search for "nexus leather 360" on ebay and amazon. I have seen a whole bunch of them there. I use this type of case for my iPad,this one is from ebay, the last one from amazon: same quality, all Chinese :S
