so if i do not return nexus 7

[nexus89]

Am I screwed if something comes up later on? I have some dead pixels but they do not bother me and only noticeable on a black screen.

If I do not return within the 14 day period and then I get the screen adhesive problem what would I be able to do? I purchased from Google play.

Welcome to AC Eduardo!!

You will need to look into how many dead pixels you have and where they are located. I found a dead pixel on my 50 inch plasma, and, Panasonic had an entire formula for how they determine if they'll replace it based on where the dead pixels are, and, how many. I think it's usually X amount in the center, and, X amount around the border to be eligible to be replaced.

However, that is after a certain amount of time, since you just recently got your device, I would return it. The dead pixels I got were after quite some time. But, if I bought a device and less than two weeks later I was seeing dead pixels, I wouldn't trust it and return it for sure. How many more are going to die, and, with what frequency?

Well it is only one that I can really notice when I run the dead pixel test and there is one a little less dimmer about an inch away horizontally.

Does the Asus warranty cover that adhesive problem I have read about? That is the only thing that really worries me or is that a problem that is out the box and doesn't happen with Time?

Is square trade worth it for the nexus 7? $40 for 2 yr and no deductible?

Well, still, one dead pixel is a dead pixel. You didn't order your tablet under the pretense that it would come with a dead pixel. But, it's really up to you if it is an issue you want to address.

Not really sure what issue you are talking about, but, if it's affecting the functionality of your tablet, I would assume it would be covered under warranty.

A good way to get a clear answer to that question though would be to contact Asus. Their CSRs were very helpful in the three times I talked with them. I'm sure they'd be able to give you a clear answer if it's covered or not.

Doesn't sound like a bad deal. I have the insurance on my phone because I didn't want to have to deal with it if anything happened. And, with phones, you carry them with you all the time, take them out, drop them, etc. I'm much more careful with my tablet though and it never goes anywhere other than the case I carry it in, and, my desks at work and at home. If you are that careful with it, you might not need something like that. But, two years for 40 bucks isn't a bad deal, no. Then again, your tablet was only 200 bucks, so, that is 20% the cost you already paid. Maybe for a more expensive tablet like the Prime, but, for something that only ran me 200 bucks, I probably wouldn't pay for insurance on it personally.
