Dont understand why newegg has to give the troublesome procedure for their products.

Just straightout advertise their prices and people order .... what's with the ridiculous, ask quote, get quote, order, etc. pfft.

Only serious buyer will go through the hassle of having the fill up the form. Hence they don't have to avoid those people who flooded their facebook page asking for quatation just to know the price.

Btw, surprisingly my diamond screen protector arrives much sooner and schedule. The screen looks nicer on this. brows.gif

depends on how lucky the customer is,im lucky enough to get a nexus 7 with a little issue compare to others,but still not lucky enough to get the perfect one

Mine is perfect apart from the fact that I can't subscribe to my prepaid stuff through the USSD codes laugh.gif but that is not even the gadget's problem. Tablet has been treating me well, no problems at all.

Also, Newegg is currently only a 'dispatch service' acting for Newegg US which is an electronic wholesale retailer. They sell thousands of products, hence the need for separate quotations instead of being able to offer a fixed price as it might not be reflected in the US site.

Matte has smaller viewing angles & some people don't like their screens with duller colors/sandy texture. Hence diamond - best of both worlds.

Ya not just dull. It reduces the sharpness of the screen significantly (for me). I missed that kind of sharpness when i first saw the screen naked, and now its back. rclxms.gif

In fact normal matte screen protector will also gather fingerprintss. the diamond bling bling effect can only be seen clearly when the screen is off.

It certainly does. Using matte with my N7 right now cause I bring it everywhere with me & am too lazy to constantly give it a wipe-down. Matte is considered a tradeoff.

Been wanting to look for a nice case for the N7 but so far the cases currently available look pretty meh. Even the original case's cover is flimsy, which spoils the fact that it has a lovely backing which mimics the back surface of the N7. sad.gif

I am using this case I bought from E Bay
It is slim and what I like is when I close the flap , the screen display shut down and it comes on automatically when flap is open

Is good enough for me
What do you expect for a RM50 product - definitely is not genuine leather
It is well made and fits the N7 perfectly
Edges still remain perfect after few months usage - no fraying at all
Nilkin is selling at a premium partly due to its brand
I buy cases for protection not for aesthetic purposes

Typical kid mindset I 'd say
Pricing is also determine by branding
I have been in manufacturing for past 38 years - allow me to quote an example
Example apparel ( my speciality) : a polo T shirt cost about say US $ 5 to make - Nike will retail it for US$30, Adidas US$25, Puma US$ 22 , a lower branded one will retail US$ 15. Same quality of material, stitching - only difference is the brand . We sell these apparels at the same price +- 10% to these buyers. Branded ones has additional overheads in their promotion, paying sponsored players , higher overheads and staffing. Paying a higher price does not necessary means is better quality

Words of wisdom right here. nod.gif

That case looks pretty good in terms of functionality - problem is, I'd have a problem getting it shipped to Malaysia. Parents aren't too fond of non-brick-and-mortar methods of shopping. whistling.gif

i cant accept this kind of cover because it did not give protection for top and bottom. there are lots of cover out there including the nilkn one, all,having the same problem. thats why im buying the original cover despite its lack of smart cover function.

Hmm that actually looks real nice,kinda looking for something sleek like that. But I'm on the 3g version, think that will cover up the top mic rclxub.gif

Yup exactly. So had to use the blurex ultra slim kind of case since it doesn't cover the edges much
