there were a couple unanticipated hiccups in the process. First was the fact that I NEEDED to get my windows tinted. (not ALL that bad...) The glare on the screen is pretty significant sometimes. Also, since digital touchscreen devices like this have a polarization filter built in, if you wear polarized sunglasses with this tablet in the horizontal position, the display is blacked out.

Second, during the final install, the top center guide for the center bezel stuck too far out and the nexus wouldn't fit. That was solved with a good swipe of the Dremel.

Third, not having a knob to control volume takes some getting used to. I've decided that I'm going to learn some java and figure out how to write a program that allows me to use the multi-touch capability with the Nexus 7 to manipulate volume. Theoretically, if I do this right, I can program the tablet to recognize when I put two fingers against the tablet and swipe up or down to increase or decrease the volume, respectively, with respect to about 2/3 the height of the screen so I have some wiggle room and I can touch anywhere.
