39.99 plus tax
can you charge the xoom while closed?
Do we know if the clasps have been improved from the original Moto case so that it does not scratch the Xoom?

Give that its soft leather not hard plastic I would assume so.
Did Motorola just released an official case of this? You bet!!
So with soft leather the scratching issue should be a thing of the past.
But for me the huge news and most important part is that they put three standing positions on it (instead of two of the previews case). That gives three viewing angles to this case (plus one flat view) with the lower one as showing to the picture to be what is called the "typing angle"!!!
So in summary, for me, this case is nothing less than a perfection of the original case!!
THUMBS UP!!
sooooo
so the verizon stores have this?? how can i buy it or look at it in store

The problem I have with the current hard plastic folio case is that the Xoom is too heavy and doesn't stay at the lower "typing angle" notch w/o slipping and folding totally flat.
I don't see how this leather case would work differently.
That's what I like on the Apple iPad cases (either the original or the new smart cover) is that the typing angle setting is pretty solid/stable, and the device doesn't "slip" and drop completely flat while you're typing or even clicking icons/links/etc.

Just thought I would mention this. We finally now have an official Leather Folio case solution sold directly from Verizon. It is a foldable leather case like ones for the ipad. I dont have a picture of it now but will post one tommorow. You will not find this case online. For some reason only employees have been told about it but anyone should be able to order it from customer service or through a store's ordering option.
The regular folio case looks like this:

It is very important that you make the distinction to whoever is ordering it. I should be receiving mine tomorrow and will post pics and a review when I have time.

I've had mine for about a week now, and love the case.

There is no cutout at the bottom for charging. See the pictures I posted at the URL provided in the post above.
It is very similar to the Moto Folio case in design, much "sexier" in appearance though.
Just ordered one myself. Should be here in a couple of days.
Convincing the Verizon guy that I didn't want the plastic one was a bit of a chore. Thankfully I had the part number from this thread.

I installed the one from repairuniverse and it seems to be OEM in all ways but one. The kickstand does not seem to have the transparent coating that the original did. This is a good thing in my opinion since I spent a lot of time pealing mine off after it started to chip a month after I got the phone. Fitment was great and the rest of the look is OEM as I said before

Nah, that's just the crappy coat on the kickstand coming off. tape off around the kickstand, and take a green scrubby pad to it. a bit of metal polish, and it'll look way better than before.
Not necessarily as cheap, but a bit more established and reputable (ordered quite a few things from them for fixing BBs etc.)

I think that's just a blue protective sticker on the kickstand. Not an actual blue kickstand.
Well, I just got this case today. It comes in black or white. I got the black one. I'd post pictures but my grandkids are here and I won't be able to do it until tomorrow.
My mini-review:
Pros:
Fit and Finish is beautiful.
Very light. Case and Tablet weighs 1lb 12.6ozs
Very thin.
(Added) The edges of the screen are not covered. Like the Samsung case there are 3 clips to hold the TAB. I don't like the way most ofthe other cases cover the border of the screen with "PU" or leather.
Cons:
TOO EXPENSIVE. It may be "worth" $85 + shipping for it's quality but for what it is it's just too much money
TOO EXPENSIVE
"Stand" is only a single position and the way it works is you have to unsnap the bottom half of the tablet from it's perfectly fitting snap on cover and rest it on the "latch" that holds locks the case closed. I have to believe that eventually the snaps will lose their tension and not tightly hold the Tablet. May be wrong there but it seems to be.
Must be opened to access USB connection.
TOO EXPENSIVE
I have six months to return it so I'm not worried.

I looked at that case but since it was seemingly 2x as thick and made from "synthetic leather" (either plastic or "PU" not sure which) I chose the other. I probably would prefer the Samsung over that one since the Samsung is very thin and lite. Also don't like the "hand strap" since it reminds me of a ping-pong paddle.
However if the quality is just as good it would be a good alternate choice for those who don't mind the thicker vinyl case.
Cut the price in half and I'll buy.

I sent it back for a refund. Too expensive and required "unsnapping" the bottom 2 clips holding the TAB to "stand" it.
Well made and excellent fit and VERY light .... but not worth it to me.

Aw, that's kinda upsetting. It sure looked like a nice case, and for some reason I'm a sucker for carbon fiber styling, but it's sad to hear about those downsides.
If nothing else, thanks for being a guinea pig on that! It was hard enough to justify that kind of money on a simple case even if it was perfect. The USB slot issue is the killer, really.

How did you go about sending it back for a refund. I'm about to do the same with mine. My initial impressions were that it was a good case but after having it a couple days I'm ready to return it and get something cheaper that is probably a better quality.

I purchased through Amazon. I went into my Amazon account and sent the "seller" a message, They have a 14 day return policy. You can also contact them through their website but if you purchased from Amazon you should email through there as Amazon keeps records of the contacts and you are protected.
i was thinking about getting this case but real expensive ... waiting on your pics ...
has anyone found any other carbon fiber cases?

Then you will be waiting for a long time because as I stated in the previous message I sent it back.
BTW, it was NOT carbon fiber, it's a vinyl fabric.

Same here, I have not found any cases I would think are worth buying compared to the official one.
Just purchased this plastic case from china costing me less than USD 0.50, this case look very similar to the samsung original slim case posted in other threads.
Some members actually say cheap stuff is never good, I think otherwise, I think this is better than the samsung version, as the samsung one does not cover the whole rim of the phone.
Anyway this case has a perfect fit that protects the whole rim of the SGS3 apart from the bottom part as seen in the photo's which is need to insert and remove the phone from the case.
Available in 9 colours
Where did you buy it? ebay seller or link? Thanks
Link please!

Same here; looked on ebay and I didn't find the same.
As stated in the first post I got it fom china, there is no link.
This is the very type of case I usually end up leaving on my phone, it's scratch protection, super minimalist.
Grip is usually nice, it's snug, form fitting. Judging by your pictures, it's cut out are precise.
One doubt is the sudden missing bottom front portion, wonder what for.. Is there actually a piece of the case going into the usb port?
I would definitely buy these at even twice their price
EDIT: ebay search "i9300 tpu ultra slim or thin" comes up with 2 similar styles.
The material is flexi plastic, and the fit is like perfect, so without the bottom part rim removed it's not possible to put and remove the phone from the case.
The samsung version doesn't have this, but the case only covers only half of the rim on all sides, members with the samsung case will know what I mean.

I have a plan to go HongKong next week. Could you suggest where to buy it?
I was looking for a anti-fingerprint screen protector and i stumbled upon this case, it looks amazing, not sure if anyone has this one already and can give us a quick review, its called Nillkin.
Here is the link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Newest-HT...rd-Shell-Cover-Screen-Protector-/370808049120
Im going to order one and give you guys a quick review, it ship almost everywhere around the world, free and fast delivery in the UK and its only £8.00, very reasonable, it also comes with a screen protector so it might be worthy.
Looking forward to some feedback.
here are some photos.
Edit: just placed my order, might get it by mid week next week since its already weekend. will give some review once i got it

I have them all. I also have the Nillkin fold cases like the galaxy case. They are top notch cases, you cant go wrong with nillkin. Probably my favorite case maker.
I bought the white one but have since decided to sell it away because I've finally decided to use my HTC One with a pouch instead of hiding its beauty behind a cover =)

Well, I guess we just have different preferences :laugh:
I've got one in black and its an awesome case, i'd say a better fit and more durable than the casemate cases too.
Two questions before I buy this case:
1) Is there a cut out for the power button or is there an actual button on the case for it?
2) Do these hard shells not damage the phone at all?
Absolutely love this case. Almost looks like the phone was made that way. Doesn't offer the best protection, but if you just care about protecting the back, this is of the best and best looking.

1. its a cut out, look at the ebay post to see more photos
2. i THINK these are high quality plastic, it should not damage the phone
I too have a white nillkin case and their grey flip.
Only problem with the flip is the case is too close to the headphone port, so I have a kld oscar 2 on back order to fix this.
Plus I love the black monolith look, reminds me of the film 2002 a space odyssey.

They fit nicely, I have one but they are not TPU or something like that, meaning if you should ever drop it, the hit would transfer directly to the phone instead of be being distribute thorough out the case

Lol..I started laughing when I saw my shipping date. Kind of hoping, like everything else I order from amazon, it just shows up two days later like magic
Have had one for a few days now off eBay.
Knew it was obviously fake due to price but thought I'd try it out anyway (packaging was fantastic lol, taped up Google box)
The sides of the case come in on an angle towards the phone, not sure if it's like that on official model. Buttons are literally 1-1.5mm in height so pressing them is impossible.
Apart from those defects, the case fits great
hahaha awesome. gonna have to snag one asap

Thanks for the info. Wouldn't be surprised if they are exact replicas of the original with maybe some color variations...And I noticed the taped up Google packaging on one of the eBay listings..lol
I'd be a bit worried. Google couldn't even get the case right with it's early degradation problems. Maybe this will be a case of the knock off being superior to the real thing? I'd have my doubts though.
Can someone that has this case post pictures?

Looks like I'll be getting the black one tomorrow. I'll post some pics
How much are you guys getting these? On eBay they're 22 and amazon 18? A bit expensive for a clone isn't it?

Amazon was knocking another $5 off at checkout. I do think that's still expensive considering you can get a tpu case for a couple bucks, but when comparing to what Google's charging, its a decent deal if the quality is the same or better.
Just received the black case. It came in a legit Google package that didn't look to be tampered with. Only issue being the packaging is for a gray case. The case fits like a glove and quality seems alright. The color is uniform throughout, unlike the two toned look of the Google bumper. Overall I'm satisfied..
