[Q] I need case suggestions - Xoom Accessories

I just bought my Xoom two days ago and still need to find a case for it. I hear that the portfolio case scratches the tablet and can't charge unless it is open, so that is out. The highly recommended otterbox is just way too massive for my taste, regardless of the protection it provides. I don't want one that relies on Velcro to stand it up. Ideally, all of the ports need to be accessible and I want it to protect both the front and back. Something like this iPad case. www .alltouchtablet. com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/ipad-case.jpg

Trident has a case coming very soon that will be the best bet. I have the portfolio case and the gel case. The portfolio never scratched mine. Most of the time I keep mine in the gel skin because it can be used with the dock. I was looking at the otterbox to but decided to wait for the trident case. I have one on my G2X and i love it.

After looking at several cases, I went with the Motorola portfolio despite its flaws. To address these (case scratching and charging) I used a razor knife to remove the two small plastic tabs on the lower section of the case back and I added a charging hole. The removal of the tabs was suggested in another thread and it was a great idea. For access to the charging port, I heated a nut driver on the stove and used it to melt a hole about 3/8-inch diameter where the charging port is. Melting gave me clean edges and the size allows the charging plug to fit completely into the port.
I've used this case for almost 2 months now, with these minor mods, and I'm really pretty happy with it. I've not seen anything else which has made me want to change.
Best wishes,
Ross

I gave up the Motorola portfolio case for the incipio silicrylic after about two weeks. I enjoy the incipio much more.

This is what I decided to go with after crawling the internet for answers for a couple of hours. It should be delivered today and I can't wait to try it out.

I also went with the Incipio, I had the Moto Portfolio for 2 months, I liked it at first but grew to hate it. I didn't mind opening it to charge as much, but It was just akward to hold the device with the flap folded. I ended up always taking off the case when I used the Xoom.

This is the case I'm going with as well. Thanks, didn't know about it. Not liking the folio case.

I still think the original portfolio has the best functions. But I decided against it because of the comments on scratches.
So out comes this. Same look and function as the official portfolio but it's leather with microfibre lining. And it's freaking cheap now. Get it while you can.

I have had my zooge case now for a couple of months and am very happy with it. yes it uses the velcro but I am not sure what you are scared about with it.

This case looks to be the exact same as the Verizon Xoom leather portfolio case that sells for $30 more but is black lined instead of tan. I have the Verizon version all black and to charge in stand requires folding down front flap and dropping flap behind charger unit before placing in charger.

anyone has this case? if so please tell us how it is? ex the material etc..
I've never seen it before, but nice find. In my hometown, too. I may get one of these to for when I go out on the boat. From what I can see, it's like the Otterbox case but much cheaper.
That looks almost identical to the otterbox defender case, I wonder if the kickstand is any better on this one.

lol....I'm in the same boat as you. My latest failure was an aluminum case which I actually like except for the fact that the metal interferes with the reception. I don't like bulky cases. The only reason I'm considering this one is because it looks like it will kinda-sorta protect the phone against the elements when I take it on the boat. I wouldn't use this as my daily driver because of the bulk.
Except for the kickstand, that thing is identical to my OB Defender. Nice find!
Definitely looks like a decent case. I would probably get one if I didn't already have a Ballistic.

I saw a mall vendor selling them, he claimed they were made by Otterbox but I highly doubt that. They did seem to be of decent quality though and I would of picked one up if he didn't want $20 for it. Not that I wouldn't spend $20 on a case, I just knew a generic case could be found cheaper online. The only problem with this style case is it's made backwards, the soft material should be on the inside like a CandyShell, not on the outside like the Cyclops. I really don't like having silicone on the outside of my phone, too sticky and doesn't stay put. That said it seems like a good deal, I would be selling them for more if it was my listing.

I have the Trident Cyclops case too. It's headphone jack and and connector ports at the bottom are a pain to open. I saw the Trident Kraken case at the mall, it's not any better. I'll compare the Cyclops to this new case from Ebay, in addition to the Ballistic HC and Otterbox Defender.
I bought one a couple weeks ago. I compared it side by side to a real otterbox defender and only noticed a few things different.
The otterbox has the kickstand built into the case and this uses the existing kick stand(like the commuter). The bar going across the camera and speakers is plastic on the real otterbox and silicone on the knock off. The headphone jack and usb jack covers dont fit as well as the real otterbox
I got mine for $8 and am completely satisfied with it

How compatible is this case with cables? I have the Ballistic HC case. The bottom of the case is an odd trapezoidal shape. It doesn't let my micro usb cable from monoprice be fully inserted/"seated." Have you run into this issue with the Ebay case or the Otterbox?
With my ebay bucks certificate it made it 8.57. I couldn't resist. I got the black one with the white trim on front. Looks nice. Thanks OP, nice find.

despite the backwords design of the Cyclops its still one of my favorite evo cases. i personally don't have a problem accessing the charger port and I've never tried using the headphone jack before. I agree the design of the openings could be better though.

Need a new XOOM case

hey everyone I currently have XOOM Motorola folio case but I find it to be heavy and kind of thick.
It's do hard to pick out a case while browsing the internet cuz I can't feel it in my hands to see if I like it...can anybody help me with some recommendations?
I'm looking for something Leather, in the same style as the XOOM Motorola folio case (meaning the same openings) but maybe a little bit lighter or thinner would be awesome...i don't want to sacrifice the feeling of protection that I get from the folio case tho...
Any suggestions would be really appreciated!
Sent from my DROIDX using xda premium
Just a quick comment but I've tried a few cases and always gone
back to the Motorola folio case. It is a little bulkier than some cases
however it's also helped my Xoom survive drops to concrete floors on
more than one occasion From the cases I've tried none offers the
same level of protection, at the same price point.
I was running into the same problem when chosing a case online. I ended up testing some cases in a local store and decided to get the official portfolio case and I really love it.
I would second that other, less "bulky" cases don't offer the same level of protection. For a case that I can throw into my bagpack and doesn't leave me worrying about my Xoom getting damaged, I think the Portfolio case is rather slim, compared to heavy-protection alternatives like the Otterbox defender.
But if you don't really need that level of protection, you could the try the AYL Slim Leather case, which gets some pretty good reviews in here:

Zoo-Gue Xoom Case
I got this case shortly after getting my xoom, and LOVE it. great protection, doesn't add much bulk, you can prop it up at ANY angle, and it's inexpensive. I really like the fact that you can angle it however you want, so you're not limited to a preset 3 angles. when you want to throw it in your bag, the back can flip around to cover the screen, and the velcro straps will keep it in place. I like everything about it.

What difference of Acase Slim Leather Folio Case and Original motorola case ?
I bought a cheap leather folio case from ebay. It was in the bin 2 days later as it offered little to no protection except maybe from fingerprints and looked horrible. I must admit the one you saw on amazon looks nice, but I feel happier knowing that the motorola one is more sturdy.

they also have a leather version case for the xoom, you could try that.
the price might be a bit steep comparing to other products i have seen on amazon, but the brand promises and delivers quality.

I got 2 of these for both my Xooms.
They are heavy, but well worth the protection. Makes your Xoom look and feel like an M1 tank. It has survived drops onto the street and kept my Xoom in perfect shape.
Has a nice shell cover that snaps to the back and acts as a stand.

My biggest issue with other XOOM cases is that most don't accommodate for the charging port. This one you just lay flat, and plug it in.

Acase Superleggera for E4GT

I currently have the TPU Black Matte and it is quite a good case,... good fit, but not so much when it comes to protection. Has anyone seen either the Acase or an Aegis case for our phone about? Every time I do a search, I get fed non-Spint Galaxy SII Options or cases for the original slider Epic 4G. Any other options I should be looking at? Kinda given up on Otterbox after all the fitment complaints I've read about and my experience with the Evo 4G.
Just got the Aegis case from this site:
http://www.cyclopscase.com/epic-4g-touch/
Used Code TOM25% to get 25% off so with free shipping it was a little over $18. Love the case especially for the price! If you decide you like them check what color you want first on tridents website because they still dont have pictures on cyclopscase website.

The Aegis case has been out for a couple months now. I got it when it was first released and I still love it. I don't use it that much anymore because I prefer something slimmer, but when I'm on the job that's my go to case.

Thanks for the link beseen, just ordered one. The coupon code was still active, so saving a little over 11 bucks on the $30 price tag Trident has on their website. Free shipping just means I'll get it sometimes in Juvember. That's cool though, I'll just keep rolling with the TPU until it gets here. If this Aegis is as well built and thought out as the Evo 3D Aegis, I'll be satisfied. I'll still wonder about the Acase, it's gotten nice reviews too.
How responsive is the volume rocker and sleep button?

Yeah, I'm figuring about a week too. You know, the volume rocker design is the only I have with the TPU. I mean if you want slim and your mission is to protect beauty, there ain't a better case in my opinion. They fit like a glove, easy battery changes if needed, very easy on adding weight and girth, and won't scratch the E4GT from within. What more can you ask,... oh yeah, price! But I'm looking to protection more than just a pretty face when it comes to this phone. And I'm done with Otterbox. I mean they stand behind their products like a champ,... but what's the utility in getting a replacement case that's bringing to the table the same issues the original case brought. Oh well,... the deed is done. I'll be rocking Aegis in a couple days. And I'm happy,... I think! Plus I read somewhere that Otterbox has decided to not even touch the E4GT.

You mean your car hook up has a Mini USB jack that connect to your phone, and you wanna to know if the case's USB port opening is large enough so that it doesn't impede the connection between your car's cable and the phone's Mini USB port. Right?
The TPU case may offer more protection than you are imagining...
(your imagination I hope is where this belief comes from - let us know if your TPU case has been put to the drop test and the results!)
The TPU material seems like one of the best compromises for impact protection - hard enough that it wouldn't just mush away from an impact, but soft enough that it could absorb impact shock without transferring it all directly to the phone.
On a hard impact, a slightly flexible material will deform and absorb the shock, protecting your phone from damage - like "crumple zones" on your car. Best the car deform and absorb the shock and save your life than be rigid, transfer the shock of impact to you and damage YOU.
In the case of a phone case, if I dropped my phone hard enough to damage my TPU case, I'd be glad the phone was OK and glad it only costs me $6 to replace my case.
Most of those tough-box cases make your phone huge and are just thicker and harder plastic that make the case more likely to survive a drop. Haven't EVER seen drop test results or comparisons, but there's no getting away from physics.
Bear in mind also, on a related note, this phone is very light, so on a drop there isn't as much momentum. There was a "drop test comparison" video on youtube of the Epic Touch 4G vs iPhone 4, and with no protection at all, numerous drops, the ET4G came away relatively undamaged.
Found it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6zlXBTREcE
If anything, check out this case:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL7PIjZbLY8
Note at the end when he takes the phone out of the case, it's a very similar material, if not also TPU, with thicker corners.
IMHO though, unless you are looking to have your phone survive a drop off a moving motorcycle or similar, you are probably fine with the TPU case.

No i mean the AUX cable. Like headphone cables you would insert in the headphone jack. Sorry should have been clearer. So just pretend it's a thick headphone wire. Will that fit?
You know what geolemon you're right. The TPU is a tuff case. Didn't mean to imply that it offers little to no protection. Far from it. I've dropped my phone once or twice getting in-n-out of the car, and no harm at all. The TPU just dusted off it's shoulders and kept on thumpin'. No sweat! But I think I need something just a little more robust, just in case I go beyond a 3 foot drop-n-roll with the phone. The big cases, like the Defender and the Kraken and also the new Kraken AMS, are a little overkill for me though. I guess the sweet spot for me is the Commuter/Aegis/Superlaggera range of cases. Would have snapped that one up in a heart beat if any were left at Amazon. Can't find them anywhere else either.

Ohhhh,... I understand what you mean now. Sorry. Based on seeing the Aegis on a Evo 3D, yeah,... on the Aegis case seems to have a very flexible 3.5 opening. Once you pull the protective plug up and out of the way, there's a good bit of room for a jack with a wide belt size I'd think. Well at least on the Evo 3D Aegis. They've also made it so jacks with a 90 degree angle fits in pretty easily too. No worries with the Otterbox,... since they've chosen not to make a case for this phone. The TPU looks like it would have little problem accommodating a variety of 3.5 jacks too! However, this thread is about the Acase Superleggera for the E4GT, which I haven't seen yet. For this phone, I only have full experience with the TPU and partial with the Aegis (my brother has a Evo 3D dressed in an Aegis). Sorry if I couldn't be more helpful.

Hold the phone there locoboi,... I'm not actually an Aegis E4GT user,... yet. My E4GT is still dressed in a TPU. I'm waiting on my Aegis to arrive from CyclopsCase.com as we speak. Tracking says Wednesday of this week. Now my brother has the Aegis on his Evo 3D, and my comments were based on my observations of his phone. Should be safe though, usually there's not a lot of change in case model features between phone to phone,... some, but not a lot. An Aegis is an Aegis in most cases.

I picked up the Acase slim leather case folio on newegg. It's fake leather but it still looks nice. On sale for only $20 and had free shipping. Covers the entire back and the corners.

Long time lurker - first post.
I picked up a great case for my Xoom from Zenus Cases USA on their website. For me it's the perfect low-profile case for the Zoom. Nice leather, great fit, and has a fold back feature to prop the Xoom up. A bit pricey yes, but now over 50% off at $39 plus shipping (& tax for Cali).
Zoogue case genius is great. It's a bit thick, but it's very capable, fits like a glove, and has all the right holes in all the right places. My wife has a Motorola case that fits very poorly and blocks a lot of spots that need to be open (i.e. camera lens) so maybe see how well a motorola case fits before buying one if that's the direction you go.
Throw my vote for an otterbox. Tablet has fallen from high heights and nothing broken.

I had the otterbox case, but found it to be way too heavy for daily usage. It made my Xoom almost 5lbs. I switched to this case (http://www.amazon.com/Acase-Leather...SLB6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1338301487&sr=8-3 ) and absolutely love it.
Check out this case:

The portfolio case must be one of the worst cases ever. The left side is loose and doesn't snap on anymore. Good that I got it for free otherwise I would have been pissed of. I really don't recommend it
another vote for otterbox. use mine every day for work, carrying it in and out of the car and around various properties. yes its heavier but well protected; a reasonable trade off I think.
my otterbox fits perfectly in the xoom HD speaker dock too.

[Q] Case recommendation!

Hey guys, my S3 should be here by the end of the week, woooooooooo. But I need some help deciding on a case and was wondering if people who have tried different cases or used just one and can reccomend it could chime in. Basically I want something that will protect the phone, specifically something with a lip so when screen down the screen isn't touching the surface it's on, and basic protection of the phone, I don't drop my phone often, never dropped it on concrete, I'm not very clumsy but I still want something that'll protect my very very expensive phone. The Otterbox defended and similar cases seem like overkill for me, but the clear plastic 2mm case seem like not enough protection, so I was wondering if there was a nice middle ground that wasn't too thick and bulky but would definitely protect the phone. I've got my eye on this one http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s-3-ballistic-sg-maxx-series-case, any other suggestions?
Keep in mind I'm coming from a Desire Z with a thickness of 14.2 mm, the S3 feels like a piece of paper in my hand coming from that, so a little bulk doesn't bother me.

I've ordered this one for now http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/28093530...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649. I'll see how that one goes, if it turns out to be complete crap I'll buy another one.

Free. Just pay shipping. I ordered a couple of black ones and they're great cases. I'll probably end up ordering a couple of grey ones as well.

How do you like the screen protector thing that comes with it?
Trident.
I have a extended battery case on mine, but I went & ordered a Trident Kraken off Ebay. $28.99+free shipping, was too tempting.

That's a nice deal for the Kraken, I like the Aegis as well, they look really nice.
I know you said the otter box is excessive but they actually have two different styles at sprint. i have the slim otter its not bulky but protects everything. I like alot due to the fact that it protects the charging port as well as the ear phone Jack. I had the s2 before and my charging port always got stuff in it like lent from my pocket or what not. The case is lined with a silicone case inside a hard shell which will stop dirt from getting inside and scratching the device as well as making it more drop resistant. It is deffinatly worth having for 30 dollars.
The otter box i have is actually smaller than the case you have posted and comes with one screen protector as well.
Here is a youtube review of the case if it dosent play just google galaxy s3 otter box commuter caae.

I actually just picked up a commuter case to replace my defender. It's much sleeker and easy to take in and out of the pocket. While it retains the solid feel the defender offered, I have an issue with the grip. Any advice on dealing with its slickness?

The Otterbox doesn't look too bad, but for the price of $32.50 it seems kinda..... Boring. Some of the other cases look really cool.

Don't get this case... I have it on my s3 now. The plastic (outer part of case) will start to peal and break off. At first it was an awesome case but yeah... I'll upload pics at request. Do not buy!
+ 1 For the Otterbox Commutor...

Hands down the best case I've ever purchased. Looks amazing in all colors, very good protection, not too bulky, and came without any flaws. It turns heads while providing the protection I need.
Check this link to see some of the other colors that they carry.

+1 for Otterbox Defender. Its not anywhere near as bulky as I thought it was going to be and I really like how it provides me with solid, square edges so I can prop it up on my display screen in my car dash very easily and it stays securly in place (for the most part).
