I preordered the Nexus 7. Mine worked great and I loved using it until I
dropped it less than 6" onto a wooden floor and the entire screen
shattered. After the fact I did some searches and found out that the Nexus
7 screen was not gorilla glass, unlike the Nexus 10, and is extremely prone
to breaking.

I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 as a replacement -- it's not as fast and
has all the Samsung goop, but it's design is less likely to cause a screen
crack on impact, and it's already survived a couple of drops like the one
that killed the Nexus 7. And it has a microSD slot. :)
