Hey everyone,
I'm looking for a case that would hold the Xoom while also holding stuff like a pen or two, a small notepad, and some business cards.
I would be using the Xoom at the office for work and stuff so I need a kind of folio case that would hold those things along with the Xoom.
I'm looking for something like the following items:
- http://www.amazon.com/Black-Leather...F2/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1301190300&sr=8-19
- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846 (this case looks like it would work best, but it's made for iPad specifically. do you think the Xoom would fit okay?)
- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846
The closest I've found for the Xoom specifically is this:
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Xoom...TF8&coliid=I3ANDC09VLZQHO&colid=2AUBBS7RLVML5
I was just hoping to find something a bit more focused than that though as far as physical document storage, seeing as the Xoom would not be used exclusively for note-taking and such quite yet.
Anyway, do any of you know of a case like those that is made more specifically for the Xoom?
I'm a happy booqbags customer, here's something I'd like to see for the Xoom:

I am also waiting for a case like this, best with a built-in bluetooth keyboard. Until then I bought a netbook carrying case:
Targus 10.2 netbook case
I tried to slip the Xoom in at a local best buy and it fitted perfectly. There's also plenty of space for accessories.

OOooooh! That is a nice concept! But I don't like the zipper style too much. Reminds me too much of my childhood when I kept my table tennis rackets in those zipper bags But the idea with the separate Xoom skin is sweet!

Thanks for the link, I think I'm going to pick that up and just slap some Velcro stickers on the back of my xoom rather than use that inner case. Ill post pics when i get it.
The power of search...
So I'm still looking for some type of case for the Xoom that will also hold documents and possibly a few business cards and a pen.
Anyone found anything like that?

Try to get a idea as to what the most popular case option will be with our Xooms. Personally I have the Folio case right now, but the more I use to the less I like it. I'm currently thinking about a gel case with a sleeve combo but im not sure. The damn thing feels so good in my hand without a case. How about a screen protector? Im currently using it w/o just because I hate the drag created and love the look of the naked screen.
I have the Folio case right now and am not a fan. I'm waiting for something like the below Apple case to come out. A coworker has one for her iPad and it's very light and comfortable.

That looks sweet! I cant't tell by the pic but can the power button in the back be accessed easily?
I saw a leather case that held an ipad in it at starbucks today, and I enjoyed what I saw in regards to usefulness. I would prefer something more solid and protective of my xoom. I'm sure within a few months there will be all kinds of third party cases that will satisfy many of our requirements.

It doesn't look like you can charge the zoom with the case closed. Do you know if you can?
Looks nice. Can't wait to read some reviews. I did have the folio case from Verizon/Motorola and it sucked. Took it back so I'm going commando now with my Xoom.

They are making a Xoom cased from Zoogue shipping March. $49.99
Looks a lot nicer than the portfolio case.
That case looks nice ^^^ I have the folio case now and I really like it, but I would be willing to switch if a better case in that style comes out.
A nice portfolio style case would be nice.
It looks nice but I hate products that display their name/logo that much
I am waiting for an Otterbox. It adds ALOT of weight, but I feel it protects the device.

I picked it up at BB, it's an Incase Nylon Sling Sleeve for MacBook Pro 13". I like that it has room for not only my Xoom, but also the keyboard, a few cables, and even a few file folders. It has handles that tuck away if you want to, as well as a nice padded shoulder strap. Just got it yesterday, but I think it will work out great!
Now tied in with Sugarsync and the new Quickoffice Pro HD, I have ALL my work files everywhere I go!
How much was it looks great
Great job. You took all the right pictures. Incase makes fantastic products. Their only problem is they mostly cater to apple.

Just bought the bag. Best buy online has it on sale for 47.99. Had to make the store price match it.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
I feel like there's too much room in that bag for the Xoom. Is that true? Like... will the Xoom slide around or anything inside of it? Also, what kind of case do you have on the Xoom?
The pocket where you'd put the Xoom is a little bigger, but not much. It does not slide around cause of the thick felt padding it has. Feels very secure.
The way the bag is made keeps it from "sliding" around, it is larger than the xoom (a file folder fits in there perfectly), but no excessively so. I think it works, for now, until something Xoom specific hits the market!
Nice Find atoy74! I paid like $60 for mine, but had some Reward Zone money so didn't pay that much out of pocket. I know they have it on Amazon too.
Oh yeah the shoulder strap is long enough to use the bag like a messenger bag too!

Do you guys think that this case would fit the xoom? The iPad 2 dimensions are 241.3 mm(h) x 185.67mm (w) and the xoom is 249.1mm (h) x 167.1mm (w). The case is made for the iPad 2 camera to fit in the right places, but do you guys think that the xoom would fit in like an iPad 2 sleeve? Let me know your ideas.

I bought it in store, for 30 but will be going back today to get my 15 dollar refund, it is super nice to get me by until a good portfolio case comes out.
i got the $15 HP case in store at Best Buy Tuesday night. Not bad, little too big for my taste (I used to have a very snug iPad case that I LOVED)
I love my XOOM, but I am not a fan of cases. When I use it I want to hold the item, not a thick shell or rubber casing surrounding it. I recently purchased the Switcheasy TRIG case for ipad, but it wouldn't really stay closed since it was made before the XOOM came out. I just bought the Kroo Wrapper case instead, since it has the same design but uses velcro. If requested I can post pics of the Kroo case when it comes in next week. Anyone else come across any good sleeve/stand combo's that the XOOM would fit well in?
Link to Switcheasy TRIG case on Amazon (it was $40 when I bought it last month);

http://www.amazon.com/Kroo-Wrapper-Case-quot-Tablets/dp/B004U872EU/
Please post pics of the case when it comes in, i have a leather folio that i use now. I feel the same way you do when i want to use the xoom i want to hold the item i bought instead of a case that adds considerable thickness.
it will probably be very similiar to the switcheasy, but hopefully will stay closed since it at least says its sized for the XOOM. i'll do some comparison pics when it comes in next week.
Kroo Case
The Kroo case came in and the pics are below. the case is much skinnier and doesn't look like a puffy jacket anymore. its also not shiny, and has a nice faux-leather look to it. the velcro is also better than the buttons in my eyes. this one is a keeper for me! below are some pics of both the new and old cases (first 4 are the new one, second 4 are the old).
I'd recommend this case for anyone who wants a case/stand that isn't also a sleeve;

Hi thanks for the pics... can't quite work out how the case works to "wrap" the xoom from your them... any chance of a few more just to show how it works?
Also struggling to find a UK/EU supplier

you live and learn ... at any rate you live
looks OK but nothing beats the versatility of the ZooGue case imo

Does anyone want to jump the gun and try these case out? It doesn't specify that it will fit the extended battery.
Oooo I kinda like it. But I probably would never use it and I need to slow down with all the cases im buying...Im up to 4 now...

I have that case for my GSII. I'm guessing it won't work because it fits pretty close to the phone at least for me. I could be wrong though. I am planning on getting the one that looks like a controller at some point and I'll let you guys know as I have ordered the Nexus and the extended battery.
Keep us updated
I like the Audio Cassette tape one linked at the bottom. lol.
No way am I giving up my Ringke Slim after finally getting one for the LTE Extended battery.
If it was a TPU case I would definitely get it. I love the material on the Cruzer Lite cases.

Again, I am only speaking on behalf of my GSII which I just sold, but, it didn't feel like it gave me drop protection when I had this case on. If that's the reason you have a case you might want to look elsewhere. It didn't even cover the front chrome completely.
Edit: Although, everyone loved it! People would actually call my phone my gameboy and it was a great conversation piece. Probably the only case I've had on an Android that people with iPhones were jealous of.
I wonder if that would fit the LTE version as well?
This skin seems pretty cool actually

Is this site reputable? I would like to order one of these to the UK.
Anyone have any experience with them?

I like to use a neoprene sleeve (or something similar) for traveling with a tablet. Has anybody found one that fits well? Most of the ones I've found are either too big or possibly a little too small. Seems like one designed for an e-reader might work.
I bought for my G Pad a 8" Yarvik sleeve, but as almost every 8" tablet, the Yarvik sleeve is designed for those squarer 8" (our G Pad is more like a rectangle). So in for height the G Pad fits great, but in width there is a lot of empty place, so the tablet inside is moving to the sides. Still better than nothing though...

No Neoprene but fits perfect
wrong thread - please delete.
Samsung 7-8" Pouch Stand
It's not a sleeve pocuh, but I love its functionality and cost (in Spain 10-15€). It's available in 3 colors, I have grey and lime, for my Galaxy Tab 7.7 and for my G-Pad 8.3. The Galaxy Tab 7.7 fits perfectly, but the LG is a bit taller than pouch, about 5mm. It fits very good, but maybe the top of the tablet exceed over the pouch.
I recommend you the pouch because its functionality, the size is not a real problem for me.

I bought this one and it arrived today. Big disappointment. It's very tight and it's hard to get the tablet in and out. It's pretty much useless as a stand, and the flap does not close when the device is in the case. I put in a return request already.
Here are a couple that I am looking at.
This one kind of looks good but concerned it may be too big / bulky.
http://www.amazon.com/Optimus-Protective-sleeve-messenger-Black/dp/B00GVHUP1K/ref=sr_1_111?ie=UTF8&qid=1386732131&sr=8-111&keywords=lg+g+pad+8.3
This one appears to be more of a pouch / case to accommodate accessories along with the tablet. Nice but pricey. Still tempted though
http://www.sfbags.com/products/tablet-cases/travelcase-tablet.php
This last one is actually designed for the Mac Wireless keyboard. I actually own one of these and the G Pad fits perfect width wise, but the sock is too tall / long by about 2 1/2 inches. It can be folded in if desired. It's nice material and soft. Still a little pricey in comparison to the first one.
http://www.sfbags.com/products/keyboard-cases/keyboard-socket.php
Tough deciding. May go with the last one if I can convince my daughter to shorten it and sew the end back up for me.
I've got this one: <amazondedomain>/gp/product/B008H3MOY2/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Though maybe only available in germany and not made of neoprene but some fabric (which I like much more, btw). Fits rather tight in length and has 1-2cm space in width, i.e. seems to be meant for some 7" tablets.
Sorry for the missing amazon.de domain... my first post and i'm not allowed to specify external links...?
I got this one at 5 below in New Jersey. It is a perfect fit but I did have to remove the Velcro from the inside and make a strap to latch it shut.

I'm now using it for my G pad. The fit is perfect. Be aware that it is quite bulky, but it's great quality and even has an extra pocket for accessories.

I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts about it when you receive it. I've been looking at it too but have yet to find any other seller selling it. I can't order from this one because they don't ship to Sweden.

We have something you don't in the US!
It's a bit shocking how limited the accessories are for the gpad. With luck my new VOIA jelly case will be here from the US by the end of the month. That's only 6 weeks........
I'll have a look on the US Amazon site and see if I can spot it for you as I'm sure it's a rebadged generic case, even if it's very nicely made.
