It's been a little over a month since the new Google Nexus 7 (2013 Edition) tablet made its debut in India.
Like its predecessor, the new Nexus 7 too received overwhelming response from the subcontinent. The main USP of the Google tablet is that it runs on the pure Android stock OS and boastsof the highest resolution display (323 pixels per inch) in its class (7.0-inch mini tablet).
The Google Nexus 7 (2013 edition) is certainly a feature-rich tablet, but like all gadgets it is also prone to accidental drops and daily wear-and-tear which shorten its life span, making it necessary to protect the device to prolong its durability by protecting it with cover-cases, which are found in abundance in the market.
