TPU case from Verizon

I picked up a perfect TPU case at Verizon for my Xoom Wifi. Just letting you know if you aren't looking for the book style. It was unbranded so I have no clue who makes it. Its thick and fits like a glove. The color matches up perfectly. Its like a tinted smoke. Also comes with a screen protector. It's not great but works. Doesn't cover the entire glass. Just the screen.
It's really glossy and grippy. Smooth and doesn't attract lint. Looks great and doesn't detract from the sleekness of the xoom.
Its not on their site. I just walked into my local Verizon and asked to see all their xoom cases. Got sick of buying cases from the web to receive them and find that they suck.

looks realy nice! how much was it? I have the black silicon case from verizon and I dont really like it as much lol

It was more than I expected, 35 bucks with tax I think, but the fact is that it's really nice. Words to describe this case are: Rigid, smooth, grippy, classy.
those black silicon cases are no good. They are all floppy and collect lint. TPU cases are where it's at.
The guys working at the Verizon store I went too were pretty lame. I asked if they had xoom cases. One dude said no, then another guy said yes and sends mr. no over to this cabinet. They weren't on display at all. He opens the cabinet and I had to tell him which one was made for the xoom. He didn't even know what a xoom was. It was wierd. At any rate, they had a folding book style, then this TPU case.
Since I had no luck buying them from Amazon, even after reading good reviews I went on a mission to find one locally. This is the only case I'll ever need for this thing.

Oh wow thats quite a bit. I hear you on TPU being better. I have a case like the one you have for the xoom but its for my thunderbolt. I dont use the silicon xoom case as much now. I been using the folio case with the built in stand from verizon. Great combo with the xoom keyboard when you need a stand.
But I like your TPU case more lol. Good find!

They sell the same cases on amazon and Walmart for around fifteen (stupid xoom won't let me put numbers ...or backspace).

That's not really descriptive. When you buy from amazon, it's not always amazon. There are tons of sellers and such. You could have bought it from a bad seller. Not all are the same. Like ebay.

I bought it from the same company in your amazon links. It's ok, but the one I got from Verizon is better. And they are definitely NOT the same thing like you mentioned above.
No. I don't work for Verizon. I sell licensed t shirts wholesale for a living.

ebay TPU case I bought from a US seller for $7 fits like a glove. Same TPU case i have on my EVO.

Just got my case today and it's awesome. Just as good of a quality as a $25 or more case. Combined with my invisible shield, I'm good to go. Here's some pics of the front and back. My camera had a bit of trouble focusing on it. As I was trying to keep myself out of the pic.

Stilgut ultraslim case 10.1

My case from Stilgut arrived today for the 10.1 and it fits perfectly. Will be a great travelling companion for the tab. It's a bit pricey but looks like it will protect it pretty well and the stand is great.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/StilGut-UltraSlim-Samsung-Galaxy-P7500/dp/B005DXHUTI

Looks amazing but there is no way I'd pay that price! Can't see them selling many of those tbh.

It looks like the Pryo skins cover posted here on the accessories thread, but then a lot cheaper!
I guess you could buy it cheaper for exactly the same cover.

Geez, yet another variation of the same case. Only this one is about 3x what I paid for mine. Check out the Vipertech case for the GT10.1 on Amazon. Same product, fraction of the price.

Not really $0.01 when you include shipping. Still not a bad price.

I ordered 1 just to see if it would go through and after the $2.98 shipping...well, $2.99 total.

Orderd one and it came out to 2.95. Funny enough if you order multiple you also have to pay separate shipping. Kinda of a bummer.

That would suck soooo bad if it did......it is an unusual situation, the shipping costing more than the product but for under $3 bones, I think it's worth a shot.

Not really unusual at all. Most shipping rates on Ebay are at least double what it costs to ship the item. There are also tons of small items that cost under a buck and shipping is higher. Basically, they catch you with the price and then make the profit off the shipping costs.
Even at ~$3.00 these are still a deal... if you ruin your phone with a case.

I got one, arrived yesterday. Cost me a total of $3 (shipping is why, but the case was $0.01).

Ya I got mine on Thursday.....it's definitely not the best case but it'll do the job for the price I paid....

there is a difference between 6-7% sales tax on $20 dinner and shipping of 298% that gets added to EACH AND EVERY ONE you buy.
if this was $25 free shipping eligible it would be a good deal since you could just order other stuff and "add" these.
now $2.98 would be a good deal if they were TPU but they are not just gel you can get similar and sometimes better deals on ebay.
what you SHOULD be concerned with is not shipping price but "total price"
so when I see an item on ebay for .01 cents and $50 shipping but its for a $100 item I don't really care that the shipping is $50.

I bought this case instead: http://www.ebay.com/itm/30063310140...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1511wt_1344
It's only $2.50 (free shipping) and seems to be better than this $0.01/$3 case.

much better

Yeah i have both. The black one is the one that's on as i type this its nice simple cheap. And shipping was quick. I like the rough grips on the side.
The white one was okay. Just nice to switch them out to change it up lol but the tpu is much better quality

Curious as to how much your black differs from the TPU sold by Diztronic? I have that one and it's a really nice case. Ten bucks though. Waiting on an Aegis now. I'm thinking I may need a little more than the TPU is able to give. Prolly end up switching between the two also.

NEW Speck case!!!

Here it is..
https://www.speckproducts.com/smartphone-cases/samsung/pixelskinhd-for-samsung-galaxy-nexus.html

Thanks for the link.
The case looks kinda meh to me and a tad bit expensive for the design/material.

Agreed. $30 for a simple case is pretty steep.

Bah. I was hoping for a Candyshell. I'll consider buying it when it hits eBay for half the price and ive seen some video reviews.

I might need to start charging more that is kinda lame for $30. It would be worth a buy @ $10. I wonder if it working with the extended battery.

That looks pretty cool but $30???

Thanks Joel. I needed a laugh like that today.
If it was a candyshell I might pay 20 bucks. But $30 for that?

Expensive, and covered button, and "for Verizon model only"
Not good

"This fits the Verizon version only. Accommodates the extended battery, too!"
Little pricey, but at least they're clear about what exactly it fits.

I agree with everyone else.. $30 for a 'standard' TPU case is too much!

meh ill be the guinea pig, ordered 1
when i get it ill let u guys know how it is and maybe some pics too

It's cool, but not for 30 bones.

Is it a TPU case? I went back to the product page and it didn't say whether it's a TPU case or not. The last case I got from them was for my wife's (3G? the square-ish one)) iPod nano, and that was pretty good quality.

Used a few Speck product before. They produce quality case.
However
This is not worth $30 lol

They thought Android users were stupid sheep like the iPoo users who pay any amount for any accessory. Luckily we have Cruzerlite that can fill our needs for the cases.

I bought the Speck case for my Macbook Air and after having to pay customs and blabla (the total case+shipping+customs was about $80) one of the lids that keeps the case attached to the laptop broke (it just broke by itself), reading on the web I saw it was not only me, it happens all the time to almost everyone so... No more overpriced Speck products for me, thanks.

What are you, 5?

I wished it was the candyshell. Pixelskin isnt worth $30

definitely not worth $30,
but its eye catching though

Best budget case with kickstand?

I am looking for a case with a kickstand, as I enjoy watching movies on my Note, and wondered what the best case with a kickstand was for a reasonable price? I live in the UK, in regards to shipping costs.

I bought that case and it's working nicely. There's a catch however, because of the hinge, the GN doesn't lie flat on its back.

Got one of Amazon cheap. Well made. In fact all ways buy one when I up grade HSINI v cheap v good. Protects. Looks cool and get angle

I bought the clear one. $3 can't go wrong, works like a charm, fits perfectly. Don't waste your money on anything else. I use it all the time and makes your Galaxy Note grip better in your hands with it's ridges on the side. Clear is the best.

I have the Spider. Best product I've ever bought. It's strong enough to hold my Note in the car while driving. I hang it on the air vents.

is there any case that lets you put it in landscape mode in a kinda low position? so you can type on it nicely? A low tilt angle.

I use one if those cheap 4 dollar wallet/stand/card holders on eBay and it works a charm. To the typing question, these wallets are pretty good for that too,
