That carbon fiber looks so damn clean, I had to steal your idea.
I have a roll of 3M carbon fiber vinyl left over from doing some RC truck bodies.
Made some templates out of paper to cut out proper sized shapes on the vinyl.
A little patience and a blow drier and it turned out awesome!
Thanks for the idea!

Hi all,
I just received my EVGA Tegra Note 7 - 3 days back. Everything is nice and smooth... I have noticed that charging the tablet takes a very long time. It is very slow to charge ... even with the provided charger and cable. Anyone noticed that or have faced the situation? Any sloutions for the problem?
 
I just joined the forum and have not been able to read other comments... if this question is a repetition... pls forgive and kindly point out to the answer or link.
 
thanks

Well, you may need to go through a few charging cycles.  But I don't think it takes more a than a few hours.

This appears to be the first case specifically aimed at this tablet (outside of the HP model).  There are even many pictures showing it work with the details of the tablet.  I may try this one out.

Thanks for the info. Let is know how you like it if you decide to give it a try!

Yeah, I have a Shield too. Devs said Mount&Blade would support other Tegra 4 devices in the upcoming weeks but no updates so far.. so just for the Shield atm. There's also news of Portal coming out for the Shield.
 
Rochard, on the other hand, got an update a while back so it runs the Tegra Note (controller still required). I've been enjoying playing Dead Trigger 2 and Shadowgun: Deadzone on my Shield; the physical controls really give me the edge on everyone (I especially enjoy taking out iOS players haha).

Got it today looks pretty good doesn't block any of the controls only has one angle for the support but it seems like it's good enough to watch videos and use touch screen can be unsteady a little bit. The front cover does turn the screen on and off with the magnets.
 
Update with pics of the stand modes, the other pics are better on the Amazon site.  This is a very nice case.

Hi
I've had my 7 note for about a week. Updated via NVidia and is now a KitKat.
Neither the shop nor I can get the microHDMI to talk to a TV or monitor - new leads;
different TVs/monitors...........
Any ideas please??

Hey everyone, I'm a Blackberry playbook user but picked up a wonky advent tegra note 7 off ebay here in the UK for 20 quid with a bad usb port. I wanted to play with updated android seeing as we might not be getting any updated runtimes on the playbook. the note 7 seemed to be the most cost effective and closest to the playbook in sound and vision with the front facing speakers but the cameras are awfully positioned. still for 20 quid, a bit of postage and a soldering iron I can't complain.
 
the usb problem seems to be very common and the local dealer under the advent brand do not seem to like fixing them which is why I see quite a lot turning up on ebay. this one had lost the centre of the port with the pins and plastic so is totally u/s I have emailed support for a replacement and had no reply as yet, this also seems common as a few places are selling units with no daughter boards. alibaba will sell you 50 if you want (min order) but haven't enquired on the cost or indeed whether there is a resale market yet for ebay.
 
so what to do - as a stop gap I sprung the case open, cut up an old usb cable, poked it through the stylus hole and connected it straight to the battery terminals and charged using a smart usb charger which does charge and the tablet shows the percentage even if it does not recognise that it is under charge. I have some micro usb ports on order to try which are square and not chamfered which is what I think causes the problems so I shall first try to swap the port which is not the easiest of tasks.
 
if that fails then I shall add a wireless charging pad and use a pebble type charger like this guy

worst case I can wire in a micro usb extension cable and modify the case a bit so it plugs in the other side to where it does now.
 
haven't got a photo but when the back is off and where the battery pos and neg wires are there are also a green and white - which happen to correspond to the wires in a usb cable so I am wondering if I could wire it as a data source if anyone has a better idea.
 
once charged an up and running I do quite like it but feel that other than the runtime I've been rather spoiled with the playbook which I can pick up for 50 pounds for a 64gb, is well built and well catered for case wise. I throw mine about a lot so have otterbox and ballistics cases for the three I use constantly. in comparison the note 7 is somewhat light and flimsy but it is blisteringly fast in comparison to the playbook which is stuck on a gingerbread runtime and only dual core with 1gb ram. but it does have a magnetic rapid charger, a non crashing OS and to some extent limited software can be better as google play is crazy and with a limited capacity to sideload you don't tend to fill it with mush. the biggest problem is using a tablet without gestures.
 
and while there is only a few dollars in it you can pick up the tegra slide case from china via ebay US for 27 dollars or so post free.

which is about 16 quid for us brits and cheaper than PC world or the 30 quid on ebay.

it wont let me put links up - probably due to being my first post so just remove the quote marks

and for those who still have good usb sockets and a fear of opening the case - why not try the wireless charging pads with a usb socket on the end

make sure it is a 1000ma one and the socket is the right way up.
 
then add one of these to the case - this is the guts of a standard charger unit but they do one with a floating usb socket if you hunt around a bit under QI wireless charger. or just put some wire between the coil and board then tape to the case making sure it is the right way round. the tablet slips nicely inside.

and your socket should never need to break. :) unlike the wire direct method this way it will show it is charging although I don't really notice the lack of indicator.
 
charger, receiver and fintie case - under 20 quid. the hard part is waiting for the deliveries.
 
some reports that the QI chargers are not that reliable but at that price it's cheaper than trying to get a socket fixed which might not work for so long. nvidia and partners do not seem very keen on fixing them for some reason or releasing the power board for us to do it ourselves.
