I upgraded to the Otterbox Defender Series case for my XOOM. I got the Portfolio Case laying around back in the original box I had purchased it with (from best buy). I bought this case the day I got my XOOM knowing that I would upgrade once a better case had hit the market.
I am willing to sale this case and ship it for $15. just pm me and I'll let you know how to pay me through paypal.
I figured another XOOM owner needs a case...
any takers?
I know there's gotta be a XOOM out there that needs a case...
pm me for details...
How do you like the Defender?

Motorola Xoom Portfolio Case - Saved my Xoom
I want to share a quick story with you guys.
Yesterday I was on my 7th floor balcony playing Poker on my xoom, and smoking at the same time. I accidently dropped xoom, which landed on a patch of grass. While watching it flying down, I was already thinking, there goes $600.00 down the drain. While in mid air case closed it self and zoom landed flat. When went to pick it up, not one single scratch on it, and works perfect. $50.00 Folio Case saved my xoom.
I'm glad you didn't crack the touch screen glass.

bought the portfolio case and returned it w/in 2 days, upgraded to the otterbox ( i think they only have one xoom case) and couldn't be happier, my otterbox stand/outer cover actually cracked, i called otterbox and they sent me an entirely new case, even when i told them i only need my case/stand (1 of the 2 included pieces). props to otterbox

Super helpful.
I quite like the case. The basic design is sound just its execution could be better. There's definately a lot of variation in quality control though. The first one I bought at full price from authorised dealer the fit was very tight. I returned that when I found one for sale half the price elsewhere. Had to return that because the plastic clip was coming away from the vinyl.
On the third one now & this one seems to be much much better. The tab slides in easily but is snug so no chance of it accidently sliding out. The device just seems to fit in much better, but whereas the previous 2 had a cutout for the charging hole this one does not.

Are you talking about the Moto case? You has ones that had a cutout for the charge port?
I had to put one in mine with a hole punch. I had always given the moto case a 99 out of 100 for being such a great case but lacking that one super simple feature.

Yes the oficial Moto portfolio case. The first two had a cutout for the charging port but the one I have now does not.

I really wish they'd get a case that lets you access the Micro USB slot on our device. Using a wireless mouse, BT keyboard, and HD Dock to the TV, that would make me a content customer!
I've bought this case and I love it.

This is my story... =)
Less then a month ago I ordered 2 Seidio Rugged cases reviewed here in this forum. One of the cases had weak headphones and charger covers, they have fallen off after couple of days of light use. The other case is doing great so far. So I had my case returned and replaced by Amazon. They overnighted me my replacement case for free.
This case is totally different from the one that was replaced. Outer "rugged" case became less flexible with more sturdier feel. Corners of the outer shell missing "lips" used to help hold the exoskeleton plastic piece in place. Screen borders of the of the outer shell became more "bumpy" adding 1-2 mm of additional protection, lets say, if you drop your phone screen-down to the floor. Charger and headphone covers have small "drill" holes, in place where they connect with the case. Case has HEV and HEV4 written under Seidio name.
Update: Just got off the phone with Seidio. This is a next "generation" batch of cases with hardened materials and improved exoskeleton fitting. =) The guy on the phone from Seidio office had to contact parts' manufacturer to confirm this =)
Interesting..I just sent mine in for replacement due to one of the corners breaking. Curious to see if I get the same thing.
I too am curious as to what the meaning of this is
Update =)
I just contacted Seidio, they are reviewing the pictures, but they told me company did not update case design. I'll post as soon as I have more news =)
If they have a next gen rugged, I'm in.
I am in the market for one of these, I have found them on Amazon for about $40.00 vs. Seidio's site for $70.00. What do you think the chances are Amazon has the updated verison?

I finally got my rma for my active case. The silicone is indeed re-engineered. The piece around the hdmi and usb ports is thicker, and the power button is no longer a pain in the ass to push.
I got my case from Amazon this week and is the real deal. 39.99 hard to beat.
I think the Pt case at bestbuy is the newer designed one and they are 50 bucks. I took my otterbox case back to sprint for this one, the hdmi and charging tab on this one is a little harder to get to than the otterbox but the power and volume buttons work perfectly. It is definately an awsome case, yhis case has 3 pieces as a opposed to the otterbox 2 and it has a holster all for 15 dollars more than the otterbox.

Sry for late response, I've been busy lately. Yes, I think they do have new gen, because I received replacement unit from Amazon, to replace older one with ripped flaps...
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
my flap broke off at the bottom but i ended cutting off some more off the silicone so i can plug the phone to charge like with the active.... i dont think they would take it back since i did cut some off after it broke.
i do like how the hard plastic wraps around the edge unlike the older modle.
I want my rugged extended series for my mytouch 4g.. dem goofs at seidio don't seem to get it!

ive never used one, so i ordered one to try out
I had one for my old blackberry, and one for my eris, loved them both. I def plan on getting one for my D2.
I am returning my Otterbox Cummuter case. I was very disappointed with the fit of the top part of the case. It leaves a big gap on the lower left side, and when you slide the keyboard out, you have to push on that flimsy part. Seems like bad engineering. I think it would get snagged in my pocket also. I will be going back to the Seido Innocase - seemed a lot better after comparing the two.
Review thread @ droidforums.net /forum/droid-2-accessories/115571-droid-2-otterbox-commuter-case-review.html
I don't have any issues with my commuter case, but I will agree, I am disappointed with the build quality of it.
I have had Otterboxes for two of my Blackberries and had absolutely no problems with them. So I recommended the Commuter to my buddy for his Droid 1. The top part immediately broke within a couple days. He called Otterbox who happily replaced it for him. The second one immediately broke. When he called back they actually told him they know there is a problem with the Droid Commuter cases. However, they have no intension of stopping the sale of a bad product. I'm assuming the Droid 2 cases will most likely have the same problem. So I'm steering clear.
Just my 2 cents. I was a fan of Otterbox until they burned my buddy.

I've heard of people having issues, however I've had mine for a while. When I'm out and about its in my pocket. I've dropped it (onto a hardwood floor) once. I personally have had no issues with it...Except that it wont fit in the home dock or vehicle dock
Speaking of docks. I bought the really thin snap on case Verizon had in their store. I was thinking of getting a dock for my office. Does anyone have experience using just a regular droid2 dock with a case (before I run out and buy one?)

Yes it will work, the dock has an removable insert to fit phones with/without case. As does the vehicle dock.

Here is an interesting idea...in my search for the best cover/case, i have purchased at separate times both the otterbox and the verizon cover for the Droid2. IM now using the otterbox back, cuz it looks cool, and the verizon front because it fits better than the otterbox front. So far im liking my setup.
Just ordered a Xoom off of Woot. Can anyone point me to a decent quality case or portfolio? I'm not sure as to who makes good cases for the Xoom. And I'm hoping to not spend more than $30.

Best Buy has the Motorola Portfolio Case for $20 right now, its fairly decent for what it is and is definitely a better price than its MSRP of $40.
I've heard good things of the slim AYL case on amazon. Should get mine next week. Apparently they offer you a free stylus if you post a review too.

+1 on the AYL case at Amazon. I paid $25 delivered and I'm pleased with the case. No funky smells, has cutout to access the dock connector, charge port, etc. while in the case and with the case closed. The case will take a bit to "loosen up". Recommended.

I had the Motorolla portfolio case first, it's ok but after a while it started to slip a lot.
Then I went to the ZooGue case, http://www.zoogue.com/products/XOOM-Case-Genius-Black-Leather-.html
I was a little skeptical of a velcro setup, but it really helps keep it stable. It has the cutouts for charging etc. You can easily move it to pretty much any angle you want very quickly, and it will stay there.
Just got my ayl case and i love the slimness of it and the way it feels when folded with the case behind the screen compared with the plastic bulk of the moto one. Definitely recommend it! Oh and open charging ports definitely a big plus ;-)

AYL case
received mine today after reading good feedback over here. Quality is top notch, would highly recommend to all Xoom owners. The only thing I was unhappy about is postage costs ( $31 and it's not as if I am living in Africa or the case weighs a few kilos...)
So if you can get it posted at a reasonable price - go for it, defo the best case for Xoom
There are several leather case for xoom. http://www.digglove.com/tablet-pc-a...m.html?sgmid=d11867ce71291fe4da6d557a119e3df9
good price. each case is less than $16. and the shipping just $2.99. Black 360 Degree Rotary Leather Case With Fur Inside for Motorola Xoom especial this one is very excellent.
I am liking my AYL case. Charging cutout, nice leather feel, stable prop, good angles... What more do you want in a case?

After contacting the seller got a half price refund on postage. Excellent service and product
I can say stay away from the official Moto case - about the only thing I like about it is that it protects the device well when it's closed.
coming from the otterbox one I like the Motorola one as its smaller and lighter, however it does suffer from slipping and I'm not keen on the fact it covers the ports on the bottom. The device also slips down in the case when you fold the bottom section down.
Think they should put groves in the side of the unit so cases have something to grip on.
I ended up ordering the AYL case from Amazon after reading the comments here. It is nice and thin, but sturdy. Fits the Xoom well. I highly recommend it.
Hey guys...does the ayl case allow for docking on the moto dock while still on? I have the zoogue case, like it a lot but i would like to be able to dock while the case is on....
There are some nice gel cases on ebay
I just replaced my original xoom portfolio case with the AYL case. I think it's a great value. The fit is excellent, and the current version has a cutout for the charging and usb/HDMI ports.

Don't think there are any premium options at this stage either. The Casemate gear advertised on MobileFun and Expansys isn't in yet.

I am using exactly the sam case, it seems to be of decent enough quality. All the right holes in right places and right size. Like you say it fits absolutely perfect. I particuly like the bits over the power and volume buttons and the texture for extra grip. This case is an absolute bargain costing me less than £2

Got the same case as op bought off ebay all of the cases looked exactly the same.
why are all these cases making access holes for the dock connectors, when if you have a case on your phone, it will no longer sit in the dock?
I got this case in the post today and it fits perfectly.
Not too shabby for a temp case. Definately makes the phone easier to hold. Doesnt feel like its gonna slip out my hand anymore!
Think I am going to have to get a few.
Another positive experience here. Mine arrived today. Phone feels so much more solid in the hand. Thanks for the tip.
mine arrived today. Used link from the OP. Well pleased with the fit and look of the case for the price. The added grip is also MUCH appreciated!
Thanks again to the OP.

I guess there could be third-party docks that can fit the GN with a case on. Just need to make the fit loose enough and have long pogo pins.
Ive got the same case too and can confirm its a great fit and will do me until a proper good case comes out.
Quick update ... a few days in (and several times taken off and put back) and it hasnt stretched or warped at all ! very impreesive for the money
ive bought cheap covers before and usually regretted it but this ones a keeper

Great price!
Reading a few reviews, people said they had problems with it staying propped up. Has anybody had experience (good or bad) with this? I'm very interested in the case, but it won't be too useful if its not functional as a stand as well.
Hi Terrypearson,
I've been using the Motorola portfolio case since I got my Xoom and I've not had any problems with its functionality as a stand. I just finished a series of long flights and I used the case in either of its two stand positions, on the seat tray, without problem despite some turbulence. True, the Xoom doesn't "lock" into place in this case but I've not had any problems with it falling over or slipping out of standing position.
The only two issues I had with the case were easy to rectify. First, I cut off the two little friction "nibs" which hold the bottom section of the case to the Xoom. I think you'll see what I mean when you get the case - those little "nibs" aren't required and make folding the case/cover back much easier. Second, I melted a hole in the case (at the fold) over the location of the charging port hole so that I can plug in my charger while the case is closed.
got myself this case this week for my xoom, such a good case, well worth the £20 I spent on it
