I'm still undecided between this and the Xperia Z3 Tablet. Kind of concerns me with some of the build quality issues that have been talked about, but the extra screen real estate, aspect ratio, and performance might outweigh those.
I think it's hit or miss. My first one had bad gyros and the loose back. My replacement, on the other hand, is rock solid.
So loose back is indeed a production screw up? I assumed it was just a bad design
I would say yes by my experience. The amount of give on the back of mine is hardly perceptible. The first one I had almost seems like there was a very small pocket of air on the backside.
How's the performance now?
With the build quality and battery life issues sort that's 2 out of 3 problems fixed.
I haven't had a problem with performance. No stuttering or lockups on my end.
Apparently the newest batch of Nexus 9s from the factory fixed the shallow buttons, trampoline back, and some of the light bleed.

Anyone flash 5.0.1 yet? It's too early for me to form an opinion, but you can get it yourself as the factory image has been released...
Go on then. Give us an opinion anyway.
They should of waited to fix these problems then release the tablet. Instead of screwing over early adopters.
So Amazon has it for $350. Are most of the problems fixed? Is it worth it at this price point?

I wonder this as well.
A shame. I'm in the market for an Android tablet and was looking at getting this one so I can have access to Lollipop.I'm also very tempted at that price but reading through the thread over at XDA about the new revisions it doesn't seem like it's fixed sadly. People getting units yesterday still report light bleeding and such.

Just got a 32GB White one.
Very minor lightbleed in a few corners, and the back does not have that issue with being able to press it down, there's an extremely light give, but something you would never notice during use.
