Went shopping this evening, nothing amazing about that, standing in checkout I decided to look something up on my Nexus 7 only to discover that the screen has mysteriously cracked.
I write "mysteriously" because I can not remember anything happening that could have caused it to break. It was in the case that I purchased with it from Google and I don't remember bumping into anything. It just up and broke.
When I returned home I checked online (using Google ironically enough) and found that there are many people complaining that their Nexus screens are breaking for no reason.
Welcome to the club.
$310 when I bought it. $75 + shipping for a new screen + digitizer to replace the broken one.. and that's if I'm willing to take the risk of repairing it myself, which is certainly not guaranteed to work. Then once I have it repaired, what's to stop it abruptly breaking again? Would a solid case have kept it in one piece or are the screens that Asus makes flawed from the get go?
Seriously tempted to just throw it in the garbage, chalk it up to experience and stay away from tablets. >:(
