So I didn't find a thread for this case yet so I decided I would and put my review up for everything. I myself am not terribly picky when it comes to reviewing; I'm satisfied with most things I purchase. I hope this will help any who are thinking about buying this case.
First off, I love the look of the case. The mixture of soft and hard and the double color combo is what really made me want to get the case. It really stands out over the the tpu and silicone cases because of this. I got the the black hard cover with the gray inside silicone. Both colors were a bit lighter than what I was expecting; the black isn't true black more matte and the gray was a couple of shades lighter, a medium gray. The feel of each piece is nice also, very easy to grip and doesn't slide in your hands.
Now to the protection. This is where my one downside is to the case. I don't know if they all come this way, but my silicone is a bit looser than I was expecting. You can pull on the sides and they come away from the xoom, allowing dust and particles to go inside. This I felt should have been tighter, almost like a tpu case to keep the dust out. But thanks to the outer shell you don't notice it any where else. It doesn't slide around on the xoom and stays in place as a case should. (The reason I switched from just a silicone case, because it got too loose and didn't hold the xoom firmly) I really feel that if I dropped the xoom that the case wouldn't fall off and be able to protect it from any damage or scratches. Also the sides do come up a bit higher off the xoom than my silicone one from Verizon. The raised edge around the xoom makes the case feel a bit different, but I'm getting used to it.
Also, the pop out kickstand is a great feature. It stays nice and flat in the back and clicks into place, which was something I was worried about and not wanting it just flopping around back there. It holds nice on most surfaces unless its something slippery like a glass tile or something. I am able to peck type and it doesn't move or feel like its about to fall. There is a raised edge for the hinge but I never notice it when holding it unless you have huge hands possibly.
All the cutouts are there, even for the sd card! The buttons for the volume buttons are way easier than my old case since they are more defined. I do not have a dock so I can't tell whether its possible to dock in the case or not. (sorry for anyone who wants to know)
Hope this may help someone out there that's on the fence about this case! I would give it a 4.5/5 just docked because of the loose edges. Other than that I feel like I may not look for another case for a long time. Thumbs up to Incipio!
Here are a couple of pics I snapped that someone requested..
Edit: It also comes with a screen protector, which I haven't put on yet.
This looks very interesting. How durable do you think the pop out stand is? Does it look like it could break easily?
I know you said that you do not have a dock to test with, so I posted a question to Incipio if it will fit in the docking station. If I hear back I will post thier response.
I would say its pretty durable the hinge has a bit of give to it and the kickstand itself is thick enough that it wouldn't snap in half

So I was chatting with one of the Incipio customer service people and I asked if the Xoom could still be docked with the case installed and they said no. Not being one to take no for an answer I asked how thick the case was in the back so I can compare with my silicon skin. The CSR had no clue but promissed to email me the information as soon as they could get it. That was a couple days ago so we will see.
So would you be so kind to measure how thick the case is in back? Just for reference the silicon case is about 2mm thick. If I were to make a complete guess I bet this case is about 3-4mm thick. If I can find out how thick it is, I can artificially make my silicon case thicker to match and see if it will still dock.
I really like the looks of this case and the built-in stand is a nice feature, I just would hate to have to take it out of the case every night when I put my Xoom in the dock to charge.

Any update on this? I just got the case and would like to get a dock as well

I got this too but I went for white and black, thought it looked cooler. It's not just you by the way, the sides are very loose. I think the best thing about this case is the kickstand. It stays put and I can actually Swype something on it. The angle is perfect for viewing content and it makes the device feel more snug and easier to grip. I think this is the best case thus far for the Xoom. It has a stand and it makes the device feel so much more safe.

Well glad it isn't just me..
Btw, do you have the dock for the xoom? I am tossing around the idea of getting one, but if it doesn't fit with the case..
Confirmed the case will work with a standard dock if you remove the adapter plate from the dock.
yup i just got the speaker dock and it works without the case adapter though it is a bit loose.. wish they would've made the case adapter without the front goove/ledge bc it would fit if that wasn't there..
I do not have my dock here, but is it the thickness of the case that causes the problem or the lip on the front of the adapter plate? If it is just the lip that could easily be sanded/cut away.
I think it may fit if it didn't have the lip but the thickness on the bottom may make it too thick to plug in all the way anyway

does xoom with this case fit on speaker dock?
Posted before I saw the other responses. The dock comes with a cutout for an encased Xoom but does not fit the Kevikev leather case (that I like otherwise). Wish there was a case I could just leave on the Xoom docked or closed up to carry around...
Thx

I was tired of waiting for SGP to get their $^#& together and decided to get yet another case.
I got this Perforated Retro Sports Case from Fommy.com.
http://www.fommy.com/view-full-page.asp?divid=Samsung&model=Samsung+Vibrant+T959&skuno=89299
I'm not sure what makes it "retro", but it is a nice looking case. It's a combination of hard plastic (the perforated area) and flexible plastic sides. It's thin - not like the Samsung mesh or Case Mate Barely There - thin, but probably a touch thinner than the average TPU case.
The case covers all sides, although you can still see a bit of the bezel. However, unlike a different case I tried, the amount that peeks out is consistent all around so it still looks nice.
Now, it's not without it's quirks - which may be deal breakers for some. First there are no cutouts for the speaker or the mic. The speaker is no big deal because the case is perforated - I didn't really notice much difference in volume of some music I tried. The mic, on the other hand, required a hammer and nail to deal with. It was pretty simple, though. I just lined up the hole from another case and then hammered a small nail through. It works just fine and I tested some calls with no reports of sound loss on the receiver's end.
The other "quirk" is that the cutouts on the top and sides are a little strange. The one on the volume side is really long and spans over the rocker keys and the strap-loop-hole. It's tapered well along the edges so it doesn't look bad or anything, just a little odd. The top opening also spans across both the jack and the usb port. This makes the bar along the top feel a little less solid than the rest of the flexible areas. I would have preferred they used two separate openings on top rather than one for the extra support. It's also cut rather close to the port, so if you are using a thick plug, you have to move the plastic up a bit. A little annoying, but at least you don't have to take the case off to plug it in like with some cases.
Things may change after a week of use, but my initial impression is positive. Overall, the case is very nice and is unique compared to the other stuff that's currently available. I do, however, think it's a bit pricey at $14.95+shipping (around $5 for super saver). But hey, money grows on trees.
Just ordered mine, From the looks of it, I think i will like this case better than the perforated plastic snap on case. This one looks like it offers full phone protection. tell me if the case would protect the phone in the event of a fall or drop. Rate its protection from a fall as either minimal, moderate, or maximum protection. I would appreciate your advice. Thanks
Since it covers all sides the protection is going to be better than the snap on. But its thin and pretty stiff so impact resistance is probably minimal to moderate at best, especially compared to silicone or TPU.

Very true. I didn't try calls before making the hole so I'm not entirely sure it's necessary (although I imagine you would get a drop in sound quality with the hole covered).
I love this case. It is slim and perfectly follows the contours of the phone. The only thing that i didnt like was the hole missing over the microphone. But the texture and quality of the case is top notch. I have the mesh galaxy s back cover, the tpu grey argyle case, the body glove rubber case, the case mate tough case, and the carbon fiber samsung case. This one is the best of them all, I am very happy with this case

they also have pink and white if your into that just search Xmatrix Vibrant case. They are cheaper than OP's so i dont know if they are the same or not but they do look the same.
I ordered this case on Tuesday and it came today. I am very impressed and the quality is much better then I expected.
Did the one you got off Ebay come with the hole for the mic already cut? Looks in their photos like it's there already.
No i ordered it from fommy and I forgot about the missing mic hole lol.

I ordered the blue and black one from fommy on thursday and received it today. Mine has the mic hole already cut out. In my opinion it feels just a little bit loose and kinda cheep. I like the way it looks and is very slim so I'm gonna give it some time to see if it grows on me or if i want something else
The black case I received fits extremely well and is not loose at all.
Great Deal on this Case
I'm getting one from Handhelditems.com found here xmatrix case and it's 10.99 and $2.89 shipping, plus I used coupon code 30vibrantsamsung and got 3.30 (30%) off. Price out the door - $10.54. Helluvuh deal
Got the case today. It sucks.

You guys should try this case too. (Incipio Feather case) I spent like 3 days searching for the perfect case for my captivate (from silicone case to leather pouch) and this one has by far the best quality and look, not to mention about the extreme thinness. Got it this afternoon and fits perfect to the phone and looks great as in the picture. The only draw back is that it doesn't cover the front side, but I can live with that.
I loved that case with my iphone, it's crazy light and thin. The only problem I had on my iphone is all I could get was white and it got nasty dirty in a week, so I would advise against white

Is it made of the soft rubber like material that gathers dust?
it's made of plastic, but looks like it's mixed w/ some sort of rubber or soft material because it's got that little bit of soft touch. (maybe that's why it's more flexible too) So far it doesn't gather any dust like some silicone cases do, but i will have to see more since i just got it today.
i wish they had more colors. Black phones get lost in the void that is my purse.

Ebay captivate incipio and they have the exact same case but in pink (but its called magenta)
From the eBay description: "With a convenient two-part sliding design, the EDGE™ embodies innovative cases focused on accessibility. Simply remove the bottom cap to dock your device in most any docking station for quick and easy charging."
I have a home dock I put the phone in every night. This is the main reason I stopped using a case. How does this design work with the Samsung dock? I can't tell from the pictures and I'm not willing to risk $25 to find out.

Not sure if you realize but the EDGE is a different case than the Feather, which is what the OP got. Again, sorry if you knew that. Just thought you might not realize.

I thought so, but the one I was looking at on eBay (that I took that quote from) matched the one in the pic the OP posted.
Just wondering if this slides on like a silicone case or if it clips on like other hard plastic cases, is it hard plastic or like a hard silicone?
Any way you could take a picture, the incipio site doesn't really show anything to great about it?
Does it fit tight?
How does it hook on?
Even though I'm a dude I'm tempted to get the "Magenta" one just to spruce up my phone haha.
Is it hard to get on and off? I need to replace my battery once a day.
The Feather is 1 piece that snaps on, and from the pictures, it looks like it only hugs the corners. The EDGE is a 2 piece snap on case.
*taken from http://www.myincipio.com/
Does anyone have any photos of this case from the top or sides? I can't find any real world or manufacturer pics of that.
that looks nice
it doesn't cover the edges and by the looks of it, it only protects the back and if you place it face down it won't lift the phone off the surface any
It looks nice but it doesn't protect anything. The corners and front have no protection. With my experience when you drop a phone the corners get messed up
Any good recommendations? I'm not a big fan of magnet on cases and seems most reasonably priced (<$30) folio style cases have magnet strip.

Can't post link as of yet, but go to Amazon and type in "Acase Samsung 10.1 case". Its full name is "Acase Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 High Quality Premium Slim Leather Case Folio"
This is the case I ordered. It's got good customer reviews. It's non magnet and around the price point you mentioned.

Got this instead from pcmicrostore.com. Amazon cells it too but pcmicro has 20% off tablet accessory code 20OFFTABLET so turned out to be cheaper. Also got a screen protector there. I prefer that case over Acase for a little more protection. Also it's genuine leather. $26 shipped.
Thanks for the heads up on the coupon code. I had been on the fence on a case and this sealed the deal for me. You just saved me $8. Thanks!

I got one of these and sent it back. Aside from the horrible smell of the material they use to make it the stand function was very limited and you have to unsnap the bottom clips that hold the tab to the case to fold it back to stand it up. Eventually that will probably scratch the paint off the corners of the tab. It did fit well.
I have the Acase and the bottom things aren't even clips. More like rests and it will not rub the paint off. The tab is held by only the top four clips. The only problem with this case is lack of a hole for the charger when closed. My case did not have smell and if it did I think a lil spray of febreeze or your favorite cologne could take care of that. Also the case has 4 angles to choose from so I don't think that the stand is limited.
I posted a review and pics of the case in the big cases thread going.

Agreed. I just received my case and there's no foul odor. It smells like what leather is supposed to smell (even which you'd have to literally put your nose up to the case to get any smell).
The case fits perfectly and the material is very nice. The only minor grip I have is that the lowest angle is a little too steep for a comfortable typing. It does work well on a table, but not so well lying down in bed. The ipad 2 version of the exact same case has a bend in the front side which allows an angle for more comfortable typing. I don't know why Acase got rid of that position for this version, but I'm sure they have their reasons.

Mine smelled like a dead meat. The whole room where I opened it smelled. My wife thought the cat died. If that's what leather is supposed to smell like I'm gonna sell my truck, couch and the cow grazing in my garage. Obviously I got a bad one. It also felt more like vinyl than fine corinthian leather.
As for the bottom clips (or whatever they were) folding back a third of the case to stand it up wasn't my idea of good design.
You are of course entitled to your opinion. My opinion is the "official" Samsung case, for the few bucks extra, is much better designed, better fitted and less odoriferous.
Still can't charge with the case closed on the official case. The official case has fewer resting positions and the little flap that holds it in place is prone to fall out in the upright position. Because Samsung wanted the case to be thin, they sacrificed good padding around the tab.
I find it hard to believe your case smelt like "a dead meat". I got the Acase for $20 shipped so the Samsung is a lil' more than a few bucks more.

Well, after spending $600 on the tablet, I guess $22 more seemed to me as "just a little." As far as how my case "smelt" I'm not concerned whether you believe it or not. Since Amazon got it back it's now their concern.

i like the kickstand idea of it, from the reviews it sounds ok, just the top and bottom are not well protected, just the corners.
They sell this case at the sprint store. so i would go there first and check it out but this is a way better deal then they have.
My local Sprint store also carries this case. I didnt buy it cause it really looked bulky.

Not everyone has troubles with it but I wouldn't trust the case if I dropped it. I ended up buying one of these from eBay and it provides way more protection with little bulk...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/180729129853?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1480wt_1341
No kickstand but it's worth it till I find something better. Only took 6 days to receive it.
The problem I've got with most cases, is that it looks like "a phone snapped into a case". And having a flippy kickstand out the back adds some functionality, but if you don't need or wouldn't use that functionality, it contributes all the more to that "that doesn't look like it belongs there" look. Looks a bit like you've taken half your windshield mount with you.
It's like those cars you see college kids driving around, with the stuff bolted onto them that doesn't integrate well with the car, and you wonder if they've ever actually been to a car show and understand that the best modifications are done in a way that makes the car look more integrated, not less. Phone cases have always been sinners this way.
I bought a matte black TPU case more or less as a placeholder... I've been a person who personally hates cases due to the above, and these phones are so thin that I'd hate to ruin that as well...
Needless to say, I clicked "purchase" with a sigh, thinking it was just temporary, something cheap for protection until the market opened up and I might find that 1% case that was classier and didn't look like a "case snapped on a phone".
I have been more than pleased with the TPU case, I feel like I've accidentally stumbled onto that case. It's the right combination between soft and hard, to actually absorb and disperse shock, it wraps around the front to protect there too, 360 degrees.
It looks like "the phone", it doesn't look like a case even, and the matte black back and gloss front ring look classy, elegant. No rubbery gel look, no playskool plastics, no kids-toy colors or fades, no skulls or dragons, etc. The phone is thin enough to pull it off without looking like a brick too.
I'd recommend this case to others - especially for the $8 shipped cost.
I'd think it'd much better absorb shock than a hard plastic one... it'll absorb it rather than transfer the shock wave right to your phone like a hard plastic one would.
I have not found any worthy case for SG2...There is not a big variety.
i almost love the case
for twenty dollars its not bulky. Thinner than the tpu cases thats for sure ialso tried a gel but doint think i need the xtra protection. im not clumsy and take care of my phones. the top and bottom are not protected but kinda they are they have a lip over the corner and unless it falls on something that sticks out im good. falls on floor the corners are good. plus any case that is over protecte are over bulky an for the scratching have not seen any thing of the like
I'm with Vega. This case is very good, looks great, isn't bulky, and isn't scratching my phone.
I posted some pics in the thread for this case ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1292459&page=2 ) so you can maybe see it from some angles not in the sales shots, but everyone I show this phone to immediately comments on how small and light the phone is, and then I take the case off and they are amazed it gets even smaller.
I'm not a fan of cases, and I'm not a fan of any extra bulk, and I really like this case. Looks great, and gives some light protection.
Light protection? Yes. I did a drop test on linoleum (much harder than carpet, but not as hard/damaging as concrete) and in three drop from knee, waist, and chest high, it did fine. At head high, the case popped off. Which I expected. If you are throwing your phone around like a spaz, get a good gel case or something better than that. If you might accidentally drop your phone getting out of a car, but are not a spaz beyond that, this case is great.
Pics again:
I used this case for about 2 weeks and it scratched my phone on the side bezel on both sides of the phone and also on the back of the phone down by the speaker. I wouldn't use it again. Got the TC case from Amazon in matte black. is much better and cheaper.
@DevonSloan thank you for a little bit more review on that for me :-D i also like the pictures you added much better than what amazon showed

Not so. This kickstand case is much thicker and bulkier than the TPU case. I know this for a fact because I have both. The TPU TC case is cheaper, thinner, feels better in your hand, protects your phone better, won't scratch your phone, is less slippery, and your phone won't fly out of it if you drop it. That happened to me with this case, too. The kickstand is lame as well. If you set it on a table with the kickstand out, the phone leans back at about a 45 degree angle making it really hard to see the screen.

well somethings wrong if ur having issues seeing the screen. the type of screen it is, has the feature to be able to have the phone at an angle and still see the screen clear.i myself would prefer a bulky feel any. like the htc evo shift is semi bulky just a really small screen.
If you like a bulky case this is the one to get. Most of us don't, especially on a phone this big. Just sayin
Since a fair few of you will now have one of these, I was just looking to get some thoughts and opinions on one please?
Also I know it can stand vertical with this case on, but can it stand landscape?
Thanks
U can do everything without any trouble, it's a great case.

Yeah, it's a great little case. I bought the black one, and i'm looking at getting a blue one next. Really cheap for official ones from Trusted Sellers on ebay (roughly £7 without original packaging, £10 with)
the only downside is it lets dust through the little holes, so you get a neat little dust pattern on the back side of your phone - a regular removal and wipe on your trousers helps.
I've had one on it for about 2 weeks and I like it, only drawback is I had to shave down by USB connector plastic to get it to fit while the case is still on. I ordered another from dealextreme because it was really cheap. I notice the case just touches the mic area but doesnt cover it up. I like it because it's not very bulky and the plastic 'mesh' back fits over a soft case and makes it rigid and easy to hold.
Good luck for u
Got a generic cheap mesh case from eBay, its pretty awesome but as mentioned above, gets a bit dirty after some long time, and mine is cheap enough to start breaking on corners, had a few falls tho, and that's the purpose of a case, so the phone doesn't break instead
I had this case, it was okay at the start but in the end the plastic on the top corner started breaking away. Also the one and only time I dropped my phone with this case on I got a nasty scratch just above the screen where there was no protection. I had to ditch it. I'm using a plain black tpu case now, much more protection. The advantage of the mesh case is that its so slim.
Edit : Oh yea and its a dust magnet.
Got the original mesh case, I dropped it twice since I got it. First time no damage at all, protected the phone nicely. Second time the phone popped out of the case as it hit the floor (shoulder hight, had a nice spin to it also) but both the case and the phone didn't suffer any damage. So I guess it serves it's purpose and looks nice as well.
Aesthetically nice.
Crap if you want proper protection.
I bought it merely to protect the camera and back when I put the phone down to prevent scratching. For overall phone protection it's definitely going to be lacking as the top and bottom edges of the phone aren't covered. The case clips on easily but stays on fairly tightly. The rubbery material gives better grip when holding the phone. Dust does get in over a week or so over the back of the phone, though isn't noticeable with the case on, and can easily be wiped off. I think the case looks pretty nice, all key areas are fully accessible and for the price of about £8 was worth it.
is not compatible for i9100P
I've just buy the genuine Samsung mesh vent case for my Samsung Galaxy S2 win NFC (i9100P) but it is NOT compatible. My colleague on the i9100, not NFC, perfect fit.
Some ideas?
Light, strong and keeps the thinness we all love about our S2s!
Dropped mine a couple of times on to wooden floors and no damage yet
Protects the camera lens too when lying on a flat surface
The dust comments are true but only noticeable when u take the cover off so no big deal and it fits so snugly it kinda looks part of the phone!
To answer original question tho, no only stands in portrait
I got an official Samsung one given with mine. Good at protecting from scuffs when it's on a table or desk but wouldn't like to trust it with protecting my phone from a fall.
That's why it's sat unused in a cupboard at work! If anyone wants it just message me and I'll stick in the post.

I'll take the case if it's on offer, let me know your thoughts on shipping to Australia Figure you sent all your convicts here, so a case shouldn't be a problem
