I believe I just found the perfect case for the Motorola Xoom!
I really love the original Motorola Xoom Portfolio case but the fact that is leaving scratches on the Xoom and most importantly the missing angle for typing on it, was keeping me away from buying it.
It looks like this case I just found is completely identical with the original one, extremely similar design but with an extra adjustment for typing! Hopefully it doen't leave scratches too!
I beleive this is what most people are looking forward to..

I am not familiar with this website and it looks like a wholesale/mass order seller and there is no price.
But at least this is a great start
What you guys think?
Edit, more info:
It's made by a company called Y-Case.

It looks exactly like the Motorola portafolio case. But probably more expensive.

And still no port for charging while closed.
This case will probably leave scratches 2.
It's very similar to the popular Toblino iPad case, which is well liked.
I actually reached out to the manufacturer of this case. The reply back was:
"The price for this case is 5.0usd/pc,MOQ is 300pcs." ... sadly I'm not an importer and am not willing to take the risk to import 300 units and resell them! Even at $5 each!
Hopefully someone will pick it up for distribution in the U.S.
FYI, the KeviKev case is available on Alibaba as well, for significantly less $$$... the markup is pretty severe on that case.

Yes it is availible on there as well now get a quote for genuine leather not the $5 PU man made stinky stuff, add the shipping import taxes customs duties shipping supplies federal taxes state taxes cost of operating, web fees paypal fees ebay fees ect ect and i bet you would be amazed at what they wind up costing. Now look at the flimsy cheap motorola OEM case that sells for the same price, who's mark up is worse? and as you said you wouldnt take the risk at $5 That $5 ends up being $30 by the time you add everything up,Thanks

are you sure the KeviKev case is the same one on Alibaba? Maybe the leather quality is different?
I'm only asking because I was actually thinking of getting the KeviKev case. The Pdair case is nice, but very expensive ($120) http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=11000659_11001165_11001166&products_id=32373

@kevikev ... your points are exactly why I wouldn't take the risk. Note I didn't cut your business down for doing the importing... in fact I think you're doing a great job and a fantastic service to the Xoom community. Bravo. If you peruse the forums, here and at the owner support site, you'll quickly notice I've been pimping your cases... because of these reasons. As a matter of fact, I was one of the first to note it and drive people to your site and ebay auction. So, be nice! I'm allowed to have an opinion kevikev!
That said... $48 is still pretty steep for a case... including the crappy moto case I purchased on day 1. Not to say I wouldn't pay that much for a decent leather case... with proper cutouts of course ;-)

that's good to know...the leather makes all the difference
Also, the xoom is kinda curved in the back...does the leather curve up as well so its not a loose fit on the side edges?

Risk is right the other night the power went out and I tripped on a stack of them lol
I have 300 plus I pad 1 cases that I can't sell for less than I paid I also have 200 tab cases that I can't sell at cost, I could go on and on but that's the risk its not like getting 100 of your friends together and everyone pitches in 20 bucks you order 100 cases and split them you don't. Need to pays taxes accountants and so on. Thanks for you post I'm glad to see someone realizes that this is work. Best buy probibly pays 5 bucks for the motor case now that's a markup

Its a good fit not curved though, I do have one being built that is like the Motorola case but in a carbon fiber leather like material that the clips are leather warped if you look at my website at the tab case you'll see what it will look like but made for the xoom it will actually have a typing position did you guys get the coupon code for the xoom. Case 10% off use the coupon code xoom.

I have the belkin one and i do not recommend it to anyone. Im really not much of a fan of the blue texturing on it and for some reason you cant have the case closed and charge the tab simultaneously. I plan on returning it and getting the sammy one instead.

Only the Samsung case doesn't have cheap elastic bands in the corners or a "pouch" to slide the tablet in...and I hate the leather (or whatever) frame around the screen. I much prefer the way the tab snaps into the Samsung case, leaving the face of the tab clean and completely obstructed. That's why I went for the Samsung case.
I got the Belkin verve case (all black one) just something to protect the tab. The Samsung book one looks nice but I'm waiting for a few more reviews?
I'd like to get the Samsung case as well... hopefully you'll be able to find it from third party vendors for significantly less in the near future.

I'm calling shenanigans on this... I checked about 4 hours ago and just now for the hell of it. Yes, the blue 'buy online' button is there, but when you click the button, it is still back ordered and I have not received my email notification that it was ever in stock today...
Has anyone actually purchased it and have a tracking number?
I have ordered the Samsung Leather Pouch (normally $30). I'm going to look it over and if I feel I need a sturdier case occasionally, then I'm going to pickup the the Samsung Book Case. I am also considering trying out a silicone cover.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190542584350&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
IDK why I bought both. Just wanted a second one.
I got the gray slim Belkin case as well. I had a $25 Bestbuy gift card and used that... I'll sell it on craigslist as soon as the Samsung leather case becomes available and gets good reviews...
I think the Belkin isn't that bad actually.
Here it is..

Thanks for the link.
The case looks kinda meh to me and a tad bit expensive for the design/material.
Agreed. $30 for a simple case is pretty steep.
Bah. I was hoping for a Candyshell. I'll consider buying it when it hits eBay for half the price and ive seen some video reviews.
I might need to start charging more that is kinda lame for $30. It would be worth a buy @ $10. I wonder if it working with the extended battery.
That looks pretty cool but $30???

If it was a candyshell I might pay 20 bucks. But $30 for that?

Little pricey, but at least they're clear about what exactly it fits.
I agree with everyone else.. $30 for a 'standard' TPU case is too much!
meh ill be the guinea pig, ordered 1
when i get it ill let u guys know how it is and maybe some pics too
It's cool, but not for 30 bones.

Is it a TPU case? I went back to the product page and it didn't say whether it's a TPU case or not. The last case I got from them was for my wife's (3G? the square-ish one)) iPod nano, and that was pretty good quality.
Used a few Speck product before. They produce quality case.
However
This is not worth $30 lol
They thought Android users were stupid sheep like the iPoo users who pay any amount for any accessory. Luckily we have Cruzerlite that can fill our needs for the cases.
I bought the Speck case for my Macbook Air and after having to pay customs and blabla (the total case+shipping+customs was about $80) one of the lids that keeps the case attached to the laptop broke (it just broke by itself), reading on the web I saw it was not only me, it happens all the time to almost everyone so... No more overpriced Speck products for me, thanks.

what a big joke around 55$ dollars for UK
I love the candy shell on my S3, especially the fact that its a full surround that covers volume and power buttons,
Looking at this one, I kinda wish the IR wasn't in the power button so they could have covered it up.

Buy from daydeal.com and you only pay $3 for shipping.
I like these cases very much.
But too expensive...
I bought the G4 with plastic back, thinking that I can eventually replace the back with a leather one for less than the $40 difference. So far, I have been unable to find a leather back cover for less than that. The cheapest OEM LG cover on ebay is $60. Crazy right?
Anyway, I am sure as time goes on, there will be more and cheaper options.
Meanwhile, if anyone knows of one, please post here. Again, I am looking to replace the plastic back cover with leather, not applying a leather protector case on top. With G4 slightly larger than G3, I find it really bulky and ugly to add anything to it. I will most likely just use it naked with a screen protector.
Mobile Fun has brown and black for pre-order for $50. I think over at AC someone posted that LG might officially be releasing leather backs as early as tomorrow.
An LG rep told me that they will be selling leather cases starting Monday.
Sent from my LG-H810 using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks. But I don't think they are worth more than $40, which is what LG wants for them if you buy the one with the leather back. I might be willing to pay $20, but ideally around $10. I know, I am cheap...
Lol...I paid 70 after shipping for my red on on eBay.

Nothing that I've heard yet. Once It gets it a little later in the day here in Cali I'll text my LG rep see what she says about them.

Just ordered my 2 for 1.
Shipping is free so I'm getting 2 leather backs for $76.02 including tax.
they may get cheaper in the future but I don't care.
I have the deep blue verizon variant and I ordered the red leather and the yellow leather.
I know the yellow could get dirty, but I'll only use that on certain occasions.
According to web site, they'll be shipped on 6/26.

I didn't like the leather cases. Plus I use a case to protect the sides. So relevant. I got the white back. I love it.
So they're doing 2 cases for the price of one, but I only want one case. Anyone (who doesn't mind getting a Verizon model*) want to go in with me? I'll get two cases, and send you one for half of what I pay plus whatever it costs me to ship it to you. (Bonus if you're in the Chicago area and we can do this in person.)
*LG asks for carrier. I'm guessing that just means some kinda branding, but it's barely possible that brand has something to do with how the case fits. I'm on VZW so I'll be specifying that on the cases when ordering.

Heads up - a few OEM black leather cases just popped up on ebay for $34, cheaper than the BOGO deal. Search for item 251989020528.
Personally I think I will still hold out for the $10 price point. But it's nice to see a quick drop in prices on these...

Very interested to hear what you think of it. My completely uninformed guess was that LG's would be higher quality. But I'd love to be proved wrong.
