In what version of the tablet? 2012 or 2013? In the 2012 you can unscrew the flex, detach battery and move it to the rear. I assume that you dont have the back cover. I found a video somewehere in youtube time ago.

2013 model actually. I have seen this in Timur'e forum, here is a pic From the poster and the subsequent comments "i was having an issue fitting the nexus 7 into my navigation housing. it barely fits so i had to do a 90 degree usb housing. thought someone might want to see. desoldered, bent and then used some header pins to make it more secure imgur.com/a/9DNIW[–]cesarius2 1 point 11 days ago I like this solution although it needs a tablet without cover or a cover with a recess/cut. I had a similar problem with space near the USB slot, I ended up with a self soldered 90 degree USB connector that uses only 3mm of space on the side of the tablet. permalink save report give gold reply [–]luukx20 1 point 11 days ago This is exactly what I was looking for a while ago! Looks really nice. If you desolder those 4 contact points to the pcb, is that enough to be able to bend it? permalink save report give gold reply [–]-cakestar 1 point 10 days ago
yah. its just the 4 contacts that hold it on. just slowly bend it up and then resolder the two bottom ones first

Sounds doable, definitely giving this a go thanks! Did you cut a hole out the back cover or do you leave the over off all the time?
