think qoo10 has it too and might be cheaper.

Mine just got shipped out by amazon UK and their expected delivery is tomorrow which is fast. Maybe use it naked without screen protector and dun seems to have any tempered-glass one for NST. So let me know if that is a good film protector to buy.
How much u pay for it?

Anyone know whether SLS sells the case? Or any other websites/sellers that sells the casing locally? Shipping from Aliexpress is 15-39 days....abit too long.

From UK. They included the code to redeem Half Life and Portal in the box itself.

I chose to pay in GBP but the amount is Sgd618 according to my bank account. I thought banks will give better rates than Amazon but it didn't turn out that way though.

They didn't give me the codes and I had made a complain. Now waiting for them to send me the code.

Excellent, just noticed i had a weird yellowish spot on a corner of the screen. If i didn't play Real Racing 3, I wouldn't even have noticed it in the black/dark coloured background.

Have already contacted Amazon for a replacement. First time have return something for replacement...hope it all goes well. What delivery options would you recommend?

I had upgraded to lollipop since unwrap but is it cos of lollipop, the background colour in the notification is quite yellowish or warm. Or something is not right? Anyway to adjust the colour tone?

One thing which I notice is that using Singtel LTE, the tablet is more prefer to stay at 3g (full bar) instead of lte even though my HP stays at LTE with one or two bars.

The Shield controller is free. The redemption codes for Half Life and Portal is in the Shield box itself.

I paid GBP 289 all in, inclusive of GST.

I ordered the same as u but the tablet itself they left out the free redemption code for the games and they are trying to help me solve this. Anyway, their calculation of the import tax is wrongly as they calculated b4 minus the price of the controller. Hence they will be refunding me 2.91 pounds, not much but ard $6 plus SGD.

Yellow Tint

Is this normal or should I do a RMA with Amazon UK? Any of your NST has this problem?

Colour Adjustment: sRGB
Left: Nexus 7 2012 3G 32GB, Right: Nvidia Shield Tablet 32GB LTE

I think both mode comes with yellow tint of cos, sRGB mode is more yellowish and the screen is definitely not as bright as Nexus 7 2012.

Pls comment. Thanks.

from what i've watched and seen on youtube reviews, they do say that the SHIELD screen is a tad on the warm side.
