Long time iPad 1 user here, generally a light user mainly surfing/video streaming with the iPad. Have read many good review of the N7 but am a little worried with the built quality(even in this thread itself there's mention of issues which require various attempt of warranty claim).

How is it really to you guys about the built? Worth switching? Or I should just maybe continue to use the iPad 1?Not trying to compare iOS vs android but more of the physical hardware reliability of it.

The thought of switching is I find 10' tablet a little tad big and not wishing to spend alot on the new iPad mini which isn't very much exciting.

I own an Ipad2, been using it a lot before buying , but because I was using mostly Google product (gmail, google reader, youtube, gtalk) I found out I preferred Nexus 7 more. I also like the way that android is more like windows/linux enviroment compared to IOS which is more restricted.

There seems to be a minority that having trouble, but a majority seems OK with their unit. Mine is ok, only the screen flickering sometime. My only concern is the battery life, because I am using it constantly then need to charge it daily.

if you are concern with built issue I advise that you buy from a Malaysian shop rather than online, in the event of built issue you just can have the shop exchange it for you quickly or just check the unit 1st before paying. Just my 2 cent

I would say ergonomically wise, the Nexus 7 wins.
The form factor also make it easy to carry around.
The hardware does have some issue in the earlier batch, so if you purchase now it should have no more problem.
