The biggest advantage of Nexus over iPad is the plastic back that the Nexus have. I hate, absolute hate, loate the meta back of iPad. It sends shivers down my body everytime I touch it.
Specifically, although I am not bothered by the exteriors of an early-2011 iPad and a mid-2011 Mac mini, I returned a mid-2013 Macbook Air because it made the hair on the back of my neck stand up to touch its aluminum-alloy exterior.
About when was the iPad that you hate made?
My email is in my profile. If you give me a way to contact you, I would update you on any new information I get about this issue.
