I just got my Nexus 7 32gb edition in the mail and I want to know what i should get for it.
Wireless charger?
Case recommendations?
Good screen protectors?
The best roms?
Don't ask about best Roms, they frown upon that wireless charger sure if you want convenience. There were a few cases where the plastic that lines the nexus engraving on the back came off due to the heat transfer. I have a glass screen protector, but I'm yet to put it on lol. Cases, I only have one which I don't like much. I'll probably be getting the official Google one as I don't mind not having the magnetic cover since I'll run a kernel with sweep to wake.

Opps I didnt know. What brand glass screen protector did you get? Right now im using a universal 7 inch fold case i got for 5 bucks Its works good so far and I was thinking the same thing with the google case but $50 for a case thats just a bit high. I would get the asus branded case but there are a lot of people that have said they got one that didnt fit the n7.
You could get a USB On-The-Go adapter for when you've filled up that 26GB of storage

This is the one I got (it seems they changed the packaging since I got it). I have a glass one on my S4 and I don't think I could go back to a normal one haha. I agree the Google case is pretty dang expensive, but since it will be a Christmas gift, I won't be paying for it

I'm getting a meenova sd card reader with a 64gb sdxc card and a dbrand skin for the n7 for christmas cant wait!
I bought this case for a Droid MAXX (XT1080M) and the seller accidentally sent one for an Ultra (XT1080).
Instead of going through the hassle of returning it they just gave me a refund and let me keep it.
Obviously this is of no use to me since it won't fit the MAXX. I was really looking forward to it, I had this case for my old Droid X and loved it.
It's this one, brand new in the box: http://d3d71ba2asa5oz.cloudfront.net/50000144/images/holcom-xt1080m-verizon-newest09 copy.jpg
Your's for the cost of shipping - Priority mail is $6 via PayPal. I know I could ship it cheaper with First Class but I can do Priority Mail with click-n-ship from my desk and it's too freaking cold in the northeast to walk to the post office. Plus you'll have it in 2-3 business days.
Just trying to keep it out of the trash can. :good:

Anyone thought what Samsung should do with all the 3-party accessory's that now Samsung rendered useless?
All the accessory's that are Note 7 unique like cases and so on is kinda useless now, is it to much to as for the money back from the 3-party seller or is this Samsungs thing to deal with?
Would assume Samsung should take the fall for third party accessories when you consider it was their choice to stop production all together.
Boy not only does this cost Samsung a fortune on the note 7 alone I could just imagine of they have to fork out money to pay back people who have purchased 3rd party accessories.
I have a feeling 3rd party developers for the phone will want to take Samsung to court as well considering the amount of money they stand to loose as well.

I can see a lot of unhappy accessory makers
As for us poor buyers ...
Samsung UK have told some callers no refund ...others have been told its in the decision process by Execs as to "if" get refunded for 3rd party accessories
I doubt they will refund myself
This is a long shot. But Samsung could design their new phones, Galaxy S8 or Note 8 with the exact same dimensions.

Never going to happen. They will want to get away from everything associated with the N7 now!
Which is why I said, long shot.
It is more likely Samsung will introduce a radical new design to have a distinct difference from the Note 7.
I guess the consumers that are affected the most are the frequent flyers, who travel a lot, especially for work. This is an unnecessary hassle for them. So a new design is almost necessary.
I am outside my Return period on Amazon for the 1) Galaxy Note 7 Screen Protector (2-Pack), PEMOTech® [PET Full... 2) Galaxy Note 7 Case, Spigen¨ [Liquid Crystal] Ultra Thin Premium... and 3) Galaxy Note 7 Case, Spigen¨ [Slim Armor CS] Card Holder [Gunmetal]...
Now what?
Yeah I bought two cases from spigen during launch

You eat it...
I'll be eating 2 wireless chargers, 3 cases and one unused screen protector...
All the additional USB-C cables ive purchased can be used down the road.
Ourselves aside... I was just thinking of all the companies that made accessories for this phone.
- mucho writeoffs this tax season

This is a nightmare for Samsung. I have over $200 in cases and accessories (case junkie I am) and just saying eat it is not helping their image at all. They have to make it right somehow.

Hey I get it....
My cases and screen protector are out, but the wireless chargers will become useful again.
I'm not abandoning them over this... sh*t happens, but i'm taking a timeout for now.
I bought a LG G5 to use until I see what Pixel and possibly the v20 can do.
* and if any bugs pop up *cough*
This is a lesson to stop with all the impulse buying we do when we get a new phone lol
Ironically my Gear VR arrived in the mail today and I can't use it.

Your sense of entitlement is not the same as being entitled.
You chose to buy the accessories. They were optional and if you did not buy them from Samsung, it is ridiculous to expect to get refunded for them.
I am €100 down myself and the device never even got to be released here. Its my fault for buying accessories in preparation for the Note 7. But I would not 'expect' Samsung to somehow refund me for them because it will never be released now.

Not arguing with you as we all are in the same boat but hardly calling it impulse buying. My phone is expected to last for than a month so I buy accessories to go with that. Samsung owes their Note 7 owners more than a sorry your loss - here's $25.
How many cases did you purchase? Having one or two is understandable, but if you have dozens then perhaps there is a bigger problem lol
I did get my $25 credit (actually $50 as I have two Note 7s)
Maybe I have the problem....... :silly:

I thought you would get that only if you switched to another Samsung phone, like the S7 or S7E?
---------- Post added at 11:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 PM ----------
Anyways, let's see... 2 wireless chargers, 4 high end leather cases (like Spigen and some other brands), 3 Samsung OEM cases (LED, S-View clear and S-View kickstand), 2 screen protectors (originally 3 but the previous recall only gave me back 2) and 2 extra USB-C cables. I am unsure what the total is, but easily over 300 bucks... that's lost, I cannot imagine Samsung or AT&T refunding me any of that. I do believe they should, at the very least the Note 7-specific items (so the cases and screen protectors) but, yeah, let's get real... "you didn't buy it with us, so too bad"... and the third party vendors will be crazy to allow returns if you're outside the window, I'm sure they have enough loss from this as well. I wont be getting the 25 bucks either (or in my case, 50 since it's two phones in my care) since I wont go to the S7 or Edge.

I contacted Amazon via chat this morning and they allowed me to return all Note 7 associated accessories purchased from late July to now for a full refund. This included screen protectors, cases, cables, selfie stick, game pad, gear vr accessories, and last but not least a car mount. Most items were doubled since I have 2 Note 7s that will be reluctantly returned very soon.
Best buy is also allowing the return of all accessories purchased too.
The only thing I will not be able to get reimbursed for are the various Slickwraps also purchased.
How could case companies sue Samsung? If i personally decided to start manufacturing something for a product hoping to piggy back off another companjes product then that company stops making the product, on what grounds do i have to sue? Unless those companies are directly licensed by samsunf to manufacture cases for them, then all they are doing being opportunists and capitalizing off Samsung ... I highly doubt these companies pay samsung royalties to mold these phones and then build a company off their devices,.so again why would samsung be liable? And why should Samsung pay you for your 3rd party purchases?
I myself have about 30 cases for my Note 7. 2 of which are Official cases, I'm positive ill eat the 3rd party cases, and I HOPE samsung will refund me the LED and Keyboard case price, but that's even questionable. This is the chance you take I guess.

Were these items sold/shipped by Amazon, or a third party on Amazon?

Davis Case Pixel 2 leather wallet case
Try Davis Case for a, very high quality, real leather wallet case. I have one of the magnetic closure ones for my previous phone, and will probably never use another brand of wallet case. It is very durable, and just looks better over time. They are made in Israel, and the customer service is really good.
Bought my wife this one from Amazon for 10$.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0734RVXWH
It's a bit cheap, and there isn't much room for extra cards, but it works and does the job.
I found the best collection of Google Pixel 2 XL Wallet Cases - https://www.thecrazybuyers.com/best-google-pixel-2-xl-wallet-cases/
is there no wallet case non folding type? just with 2 card slots on the back?
Well, after receiving an amazon gift card for Christmas, I decided to bite the bullet and get one of these battery cases.
It should be delivered by Friday and I should be able to give it a good test the following weekend when I spend the day in Manhattan.
I have a great 10000 mah portable usb c charger that I've been using since my 2xl days, but it would be nice to not have to keep that in my pocket when I'm out and about.
I don't really need a case like this as most of my days are spent rather close to somewhere that I can charge up in a pinch. I've got chargers all over my house, in my office at work and I'm always plugged into Android Auto when I'm in my car.
But there are times that this battery case might really be nice and since I had the amazon gift card, I figured why not.
How's everyone liking this case so far?
I'm not going to get it, as much as I'd love a batter case the fact that you lose functionality while using it is a deal breaker. I used Android auto and the wired pixels buds daily. The fact that it doesn't have some sort of pass through function is mind boggling.
Also looking on Amazon there's at least 5 separate cases that are exactly the same which is suspect to me. How do you know that zerolemon is the original manufacturer and not just a rebrand or even worse a seller just selling the rejected models that didn't pass QC?

I agree...this looks identical. I bought one direct from China. It works great, looks pretty good.

It was $23 when I bought, seems to have gone up a bit. Delivery was in about 2.5 weeks, no tax, no delivery fee.
