I got a neoprene case from Office Depot made for a 10" netbook. Works really well and was only $7.99

i bought a merkury case at radioshack which is used for ipad but fits the xoom well it also has a nice front pocket which I use to put my charger and hdmi cable in best of all it was only 9.99

I bought this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002STX2ZG (hopefully link shows, if not search amazon for Caselogic VNA210 10.2-Inch Netbook/iPad Attache) perfect fit and a little extra room for odds and ends if you need that style, a little badding but not to bulky and only $15 to boot.

What do you guys think about this case? Do you think it will fit with the gel case on the Xoom as well? I like the red stiching the and breathabililty aspect of it.

Could anyone suggest a good Innocase-like solution for the Xoom? Silicone/Gel style would do, but looking for a rigid case with a rubber outer coating for grip.

one made from stm fits well, cant post since im to new but look for STM jacket ipad. works well with or without portfolio case

innocase is supposedly making one for the xoom. you just have to wait a little longer for it to come out.

Take a look at Waterfield Designs, SF CA. They just added a few Xoom items to their catalog. I bought the suede jacket which is just a very minimal sleeve, excellent quality and just what I needed for keeping my Xoom in my briefcase.

Leather Holster case big enough to hold Vibrant in T-Mobile Gel Skin

Hey,
Does anyone know of a case that is big enough to comfortably hold a Vibrant in a t-mobile gel skin. The phone is so light and fragile w/o the gel skin, but I would really like to have a holster to carry it on my belt. Anyone know of a case thats might work for that purpose?
Thanks!
I actually have the T-mobile gel case and purchased the leather swivel hip case for the moto cliq from t-mobile. with a little bit of stretching they both fit perfectly. Not to much work to pull it out or slide in. Try this out. They have 2 cases at t-mobile. find the one with the magnetic button and not the concealed magnet. Good luck!
I found a horizontal Rocketfish leather holster that is a perfect fit for the Vibrant with an average thickness gel skin at Best Buy. Not too snug, not too lose; feels like it was made for the phone.
I can't find a link to it on their website but it was a universal case and, suprisingly, very well constructed with soft black leather.
It has a swivel clip but it lays flat against the case so the phone doesn't protrude far from your waist.
I bought a leather holster that's made for the EVO from a Sprint store. It fits great with the tmo gel skin on it.

I got the same one. A few days of pushing my phone in the case it fits perfect.
The best fitting case is the leather holster sold by Verizon for the Droid X. It is a perfect fit with the T-Mobile gel skin.

Same here...only one i've seen so far is the otterbox....but it's very bulky. I hope theres other option coming soon.
Yeah bought the otter box but I will be returning it. The case makes the phone too large. Also the clip holster is huge as well.

I tried an Atrix 'thin' case from a mall kiosk today for $10 and was about to grab it until I found I couldn't really use the fingerprint scanner. It seemed that either the hole wasn't big enough or the material was too thick around the fingerprint reader.
I too am looking for a belt-clip case that swivels with no magnet for the Atrix.
write to seidioonline... they make great clips...
I'm using the feather case in a droid x plastic belt clip swivel holster. Works great! The holster is a lil taller than the phone tho. It worked great on my captivate as well. Would def. Recommend to anyone that wanted easy access to the phone asap

Why no magnet? Does that cause a problem?
Reason I ask is that I found a Duracell leather carrying case at the dollar store that has a magnetic closure in the flap. I figured I'd wait and get the protective case (probably a Body Glove Mirage or an Incipio Feather) first than then confirm that it fits in the Duracell case before buying it. It's a really nice looking belt-clip carrying case.
magnets are what causes it to go into the car docking app i believe, so it would cause it to launch whenever a magnet gets near it
I am using one from an old Samsung blackjack and it fits perfect. A lot cheaper than anything coming out also!
I bought a nice universal one for 30 from att fits perfectly and I can charge while its closed

Followup about the Duracell leather case. The Atrix naked will barely fit longwise. With a Body Glove Mirage case on the phone, the Duracell case is too tight.

I don't believe that is correct. AT&T sells an AGF Premium Leather Case for $39.99 (too pricey for me)
The description reads:
AGFs Premium Leather Pouch is made from beautifully crafted leather. This case is equipped with special sleeper magnets so that when your device is placed in the case, it automatically goes into sleep mode and helps preserve your battery life. AGFs Premium Leather Pouch also includes our 180-degree rotating belt clip, allowing for adjustable placement and maximum comfort. Our attractive magnetic flap, with a contrasting leather stripe, makes securing your phone amazingly simple. This pouch has all the utility you'd expect, paired with the style you want.

So apparently magnets don't make the phone activate the car docking app.

Yeah they really do. I absolutely love the clip for my Blackberry 9700. It was a shame they didn't have a solution for my Captivate (without using their case). Definitely hope they do something for the Atrix though!

[Q] Sleeve Options

I'm looking for a microfiber or neoprene type sleeve for the Galaxy Tab 10.1. I've found the Samsung Leather Sleeve, which wouldn't be horrible, but I am not a huge fan of leather.
I really like RadTech's Sleevz for MacBook's, but they don't have the right size.. Something similar would be fantastic.
I don't like those cases that hold the unit and open like a book. When I want to use this thing, it will be coming out of the case.
Anyone have one or seen any?
I've been looking for a nice sleeve/pouch for awhile. I just order the Waterfield Xoom sleeve to see how it fits. Waterfield makes some great high-quality sleeves.

I've seen their stuff before. It's quite nice... although maybe a bit more bulky than I am hoping for.
How close is the Xoom 10.1 to the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in size? I was actually also looking at MacBook Air 11" cases, but they don't work.
They're very close in dimensions, except the 10.1 is obviously quite thinner. The 10.1 is only 6mm longer and 3mm wider which are tiny amounts so any Xoom sleeve should fit fine, it'll prolly just have some wiggle room because of the difference in thickness.
Waterfield also has a slip in sleeve like the one your looking for, for the Xoom.
I asked Waterfield about these. They believe the Sleevecase will fit, but the tablet will stick out of the xoom "Slipcase".
They also said to expect new sizes in the coming weeks.

That is a nice sleeve, wish it had the right size...
I just got a sleeve from Amazon today. It's for ipad and made by Philips. I would post a link but I have to have 8 post first. It's black and red and fits great. Plus its reversible and for $10, you can't beat it. Just search "ipad sleeve Philips"
I got this for $5.00 with free shipping. It fits nicely. What a deal!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001WAK6H4
Hey I have a sleeve I ordered custom made from Etsy, it came late so I had already bought the belkin one. So now I have a case and a sleeve that I don't need. I'll sell it to you if you want it. I've never used it so it's new.
Check some pics here: http://imgur.com/XjyrS&83NSp&7hnXx&isTnP
Sleeve is padded with cotton inner lining... pretty neat for those who don't like conventional tablet sleeves.

[Q] Anyone seen a good play-through case

Has anyone found any play-through form fit cases for the A100?
Right now I've got a Belkin neoprene sleave that protects it in my bag, but there have been a few times where I've been knocked into and had the tablet go flying, or simply dropped it (thats one slippery device!!). So a play-through form fit case would be perfect.
I contacted a few accessory stores here in Canada but with no luck. Figured someone else out there would have seen SOMETHING.
Thanks
I use the actual Acer case. It's not bad.

ACER finally has their Accessory store up and showing all the goodies. I bought the CARBON FIBER case which is $40 US. I also have the Black case $30 US but the Carbon fiber is much better quality. Looks like they also have some Silcone cases (bumper cases) they call them.

Nice! The carbon fiber case is exactly what I was hoping to find...as are the bumper cases actually. I find the A100 to be really really slippery, and there have been a lot of times where I'm using it in bed while going to sleep and nodded off...of course dropping the A100 in the process
Luckily it's a tough little beast and survived the short falls from my bed.
Now, the question is...trying to find this stuff in Canada!

I'm not sure what you mean by "play-through", but if you mean a case that lets you use the tablet without removing it from the case, then this one from The Source :

I JUST ordered the official Acer Carbon Fiber case previously mentioned in this thread. Canadian suppliers started getting them this week and I was able to custom order it from a local computer store. Unfortunately it's on order still with the supplier (Synnex Canada) with no ETA.

this case looks promising, but it is a preorder onle right now.
Best Buy is now selling the Acer cases on their site. Probably cheaper shipping than Acer's 10 buck shipping. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Acer+-+...10275571&skuId=3530371&st=acer case&cp=1&lp=3

Great case for A100
I purchased this case about a month ago. It was sent from China so it takes at least 3 weeks to arrive .
After a week of break in period the case feels great to the hands. The leather used on the outside of the case acquires a nice soft feel and has NO leather smell like the Acer smelly case.
All ports and buttons are accessible and the A100 hold firmly in the case with no screen visibility restrictions.
The case open steno style as opposed to book style in the portrait screen position.
As a bonus they also include a very nice NON glare screen protector.
$16.95 with free shipping....it's a great deal.

Yes, I know how to google
I found all of those stores weeks ago, literally all of them, plus some others. Contacted each one and was told they had no clue on ETA, and they wouldn't sell to me until they had stock. So through my office at work I had my boss contact the universal Canadian supplier for these cases, Synnex. We sell computer hardware to corporations, so we order from there all the time, just usually in large quantities. In this case my boss made an exception for me and ordered a single unit.
I got a much better price than these stores
But unfortunately it turned out Synnex didn't get as many in as planned and now I'm stuck waiting for that order. I don't want to cancel because I asked a favour of my boss to order it for me...looks bad on me coming back now saying "uh, can you cancel that?"
But if these rooCase cases come and suck, i'll do just that and buy from one of the stores you mentioned. I've got no experience with any of them. Do you?
So did anyone get a RooCase? Thoughts?
Sorry about that. I totally forgot to post my reviews!!
I now have 3 cases believe it or not. The rooCASE Multi-Angle , The rooCASE Ultra Slim, and the Acer Carbon Fiber.
I also have the "Black Carbon Fiber Film Shield & Screen Protector - Armorsuit MilitaryShield". Please see my previous posts in this thread for links and pictures. They're clearly labeled.
Here's some quick thoughts, and I can do proper reviews tomorrow or Monday.
Black Carbon Fiber Film Shield & Screen Protector for Acer Iconia Tab A100 7-Inch Tablet - Armorsuit MilitaryShield
This is a pretty standard sticker type protector that doesn't offer mch protection beyond scrapes and scratches. But it does look great on the tablet. I've had a few carbon fiber cases and similar protectors for other devices, and they all look the same. If you've seen the official Acer Carbon Fiber portfolio case, this has the same pattern.
It was fairly easy to install, with the only challenge being lining up the separate pieces. There's a huge piece for the back, then pieces to cover all 4 sides.
The screen protector is pretty good. It went on very easily, is meant for our device so there's no custom cutting needed on your part. It fits perfectly.
The tablet looks really good in this skin. But I'm not sure what use it really is. On cell phones the idea is you can keep it in your pocket without scratches from keys and change and what not, but we don't exactly do that with these tablets.
The screen protector on the other hand is great.
rooCASE Multi-Angle (Black) Leather Folio Case Cover with Stand and Elastic Hand Strap
This case is really good. Pretty high quality leather and very well made. It fits the tablet perfectly. The inside seems to be some sort of microfibre cloth and feels great. The elastic handstrap is somewhat useful, but more gimicky than anything else. The stand portion works well. You can leave it on a desk and watch a movie like that easily. Or more functionally, you can use a bluetooth keyboard with the tablet standing up quite well. The lid is also magnetic, so it stays shut when you close the case up. It's not a very strong magnet but it does the job quite well.
rooCASE Ultra Slim (Black) Leather Case Cover Cover with Stand
This case is fantastic. It's the same high quality leather as the above case, same inside microfibre. But it really is very thin. Much thinner than either the above case or the official Acer Carbon Fiber one. There's no magnetic latch, no elastic or anything to hold the case shut. But it really doesn't need it - the case stays closed just fine on it's own. When open the cover folds easily around to the back, and you hardly notice it's there while using the tablet. The right side and top/bottom has some 'extra' leather sticking out about 1/3rd of an inch, because that's how they sewed it shut to keep it so slim. It's hardly noticeable after a few minutes and not a negative at all. The cutouts match up perfectly with the buttons and slots, and unlike the Acer one, there is plenty of protection where there isn't something to access under the case.
Official Acer Carbon Fiber case:
I don't remember much about this off the top of my head (I'm writing this review in the middle of the night because I can't sleep) so I'll edit the post and do a more formal review tomorrow. From what I remember:
The case looks beautiful. It has pretty good protection on the front and back, but the protection on the sides is lacking. There are only a few straps holding the case in. Thickness wise, it's thinner than the Roocase multi-angle, but considerably thicker than the roocase ultra-slim.
So after all that, here's what I decided:
I've got the Armorsuit MilitaryShield skin and screen protector on. The screen protector helps provide ease of mind while using the tablet. And I didn't want to take the skin off since I paid good money for it and it doesn't get in the way of the other proper cases. It also adds some protection to the sides that are exposed in the various cases, especially the Acer case.
Case wise...I'm using the rooCASE Ultra-Slim. It simply feels the best in your hand is the lease obtrusive in use, yet provides great protection. I've dropped the tablet a few times, once onto my tile floor by accident, and the tablet was fine. I love how thin it is compared to the other cases.
Again, I'll do a proper review in the next couple of days with some pictures.

I am satisfied with my seidio case. It offers some protection without adding a lot of bulk. It also has a matched holster available and I am able to put it in the holster and remove it with one hand. This is something that I could not do with the sprint case.
I use the Seido holster and a TPU case.
Perfect Combo. TPU fits perfectly in holster.

Which holster do you use - active or surface?
I want to try this case, but I need to know how it compares to the tpu in regards to thickness. Will it be thinner than a TPU?
Did you order yours from Seidio or Amazon?

I got the same exact case & holster at Best Buy with their platinum branding. As you may already know Best BUY platinum brand stuff & seidio stuff is the same, just a different brands label. Only $34.99 at the big blue box. It looks exactly the same except where the one on the video says seidio, this one has the Pt inside a box like platinum on a element chart.

Does anybody else have a gap where the 2 pieces some together on their case? I noticed that there is a small gap on both sides after installing the case. I installed it properly and you can hear it latch when you press on the spot on the back. I dropped my phone and when it landed the bottom piece came off completely. I was hoping for a tighter fit.
I ordered mine from ebay and got it yesterday. The case is awesome. Its light and blends with the phone perfectly. Thanks for the review QBKing!!
is this thinner than the TPU case?
Is it just on/off or are there little stickies and crap for the phone to fit snugly?
What is the wear/tear like? Does it disintegrate or pop off when you drop it three feet or so onto the concrete? (TPU case remains intact)

I purchased the the Platinum Series case (seidio re-branded) from best buy $34.99 and included the belt clip. I like the matte feel of the case and its looks however the fitment isn't there. everything seems snug except the area near the bottom where the top and bottom piece meet. The tolerances are too large and allows for a fair bit of slop. One friend said upon showing him my phone "oh my your phone is already falling apart" (referring to the sloppy case)
I did however just come up with a fix for this. I lined the part with a bit of electrical tape to snug up the fitment, now feels rock solid! and I really like the case more!
I can include pics if there is any interest.
