    The Nexus 9 is totally Awesome

    Do you have anything to reasonable to contribute like care to explain why EVERY reviewer from AndroidCentral to ArsTechnica mentioned these issues since they're obviously so rare? Or why several people here in the forum exchanged their N9 because of the light bleed and ended up with another one...

    The Nexus 9 is totally Awesome

    Actually from reading here and the reviews from Jerry, AndroidPolice, ArsTechnica etc. I'd say the the opposite is true: most have squishy/bouncy backs, and probably most of them have light bleed, too.Now, it might not bother them, but it means quality control let those things unchecked. What...

    The Nexus 9 is totally Awesome

    Have you read Jerry Hildenbrand's review here on AndroidCentral? Pretty fair review. The specs were fine, although I would have liked to see the Nvidia Stylus and wireless charging included. My unit, purchased at BestBuy, had considerable flex in the back, and yes, it really was 2-3 mm it gave...

    The Nexus 9 is totally Awesome

    Why are people always so quick to dismiss other peoples observation? I could have taken a video measuring the force it takes and the distance the back travels and people would still believe it was made up or dismiss it as an anomaly. I know how much 2-3 mm is and it was that much. The point I'm...

    The Nexus 9 is totally Awesome

    I tell you what the big deal is, it greatly depends on what you will get. For the unit that I picked up from BestBuy, the back gave in 2-3 mm over the whole Nexus sign without major pressure. So just picking it up and holding it would do that and I noticed every time I picked it up. Yes, a case...

    Anyone else disappointed by the Nexus 9?

    I thought about that, too. But at work I read a fair number of PDF with color images in it which is where were the Kindles fall short. A non-Kindle tablet seemed like the best fit for me, plus I do other things on the tablet, too. Anyway, still undecided and will wait to see whether somebody...

    Anyone else disappointed by the Nexus 9?

    Yep, you're going to have to wait until Thanksgiving. Their website will take order with the discount that day, I assume until their allotment for this sale is reached. In store they should have some as well, if you're willing to stand in line. I, too, have a N7 2013 which is/was great but it is...

    Anyone else disappointed by the Nexus 9?

    BestBuy emailed the Black Friday preview, I can't post the link but go to the BestBuy website and there should be an ad for it. They take $100 off any iPad Air 2, you pay $499 for the 64GB model, and it is not only in store but also online all day Thanksgiving. Target offers a $140 gift card...

    Anyone else disappointed by the Nexus 9?

    Thanks for bringing up the problems with WiFi on the iPad Air 2. I was considering the BestBuy Black Friday offer like a 64GB iPad Air 2 for almost the same as the 32GB Nexus 9. The "solution" for people seemed to either return the Air 2 (many did) or buy an AC router (which I already have)...

    Anyone else disappointed by the Nexus 9?

    True enough, although I would, for both of your examples for Apple, categorize them as design flaws. And I expected hiccups with software for sure. "You're holding it wrong!" was Steve Jobs' answer, and maybe I held the tablet wrong, too. And both problem you mentioned could be solved with a...

    Anyone else disappointed by the Nexus 9?

    What is disappointing is the quality control for a device that is priced at a premium. I purchased a black 32GB Nexus 9 at BestBuy for pickup but ended up returning it. Couldn't exchange it since they didn't have another one. The back of my Nexus 9 gave in about 2-3 mm over the whole Nexus...

    So.. I'm returning my N9

    Give Angry English a break. I, too, bought a 32GB nexus 9 at BestBuy on Monday. And there is lot to like, but I, too, have a gripe with the built quality of the device. It has the spongy back, and a good amount of light bleed on the left side. The buttons are recessed, but fine for me. Battery...

    wireless charger recommendations

    The Tylt can be found at T-Mobile.com (TYLT Wireless Charger - Black | T-Mobile) and with the offer ACCOFFER18 it brings it down to $48.99 plus tax (if applicable) and free shipping. About the same as the Google OEM charger. At least worth a look.
