    I was excited to have the Google Nexus mainly because it was an android tablet. It synced with my Galaxy S4 which was amazing! I didn't have any issues with it bending, but there were other problems. My complaint is that there were problems with letter and border bleeding. I noticed it most with the Kindle app, but also with emails, web pages, etc. I had heard about this with other reviews as well. This among a few other things led to disappointment to which I ended up trading the Nexus in for another tablet.

    If you get this on sale in the near future or as an open item...this is a great deal. I also picked up the official keyboard and it works great with it. Certainly a great tablet with that keyboard....

    My son loves his new tablet. Our only concern is that there is a white spot under the right hand upper corner of the screen which is reflected no matter what he is doing on the tablet. We are giving it a couple of days, and if doesn't improve, we will contact someone for help.

    After reading all the reviews I thought i needed to throw in my two cents. First the size is nice (bigger is not always better) its easy to hold on to. The back could be made a little less slippery. Alot of the reviews seem to think you can depress the back easy or that it was weak I didn't find that it was problem. With normal use as it is designed to be used its seems strong enough. The one thing all reviews agreeded on was the sound its great and my hearing is bad to say the least. My hearing aids are bluetooth capable so I'm hoping they will pair. I had one problem and had to contact Google support when you do it on line they say they will call back in 2 minutes. I should have timed it because it was not much more than 2 minutes. You always hate to call support. The experience with them was great and almost enjoyable. Over all if you are looking for a new tablet this is it. I also got the keyboard it work great looks nice and there's alot of special function keys which you will need to learn and remenber. Anyway good jod HTC and Google

    Hardware issues happen. Response by HTC poor

    I bought a Nexus 9 from Best Buy on March 21. There's lots to like about the device. Unfortunately, last week it went into a reboot loop and I needed to do a factory reset to correct it. After the reset OTA upgrades repeatedly failed. I spent several hours on the phone with Google trying various workarounds. Finally they referred me to HTC when it became clear that it wasn't a software problem. HTC agreed but said they needed to escalate the problem (repair? or replace?) which will take 7 - 10 days. I wish I'd bought a Samsung tablet instead. Depending on the response I may decide to add or take away a star later based on the response from HTC.
