The AYL case is a great case if you can get the AYL version (AYL is stamped on interior so is not really visible).
But I don't see the AYL version on Amazon now. Acase (below) is the same case, but does have "Acase" stamped on lower right corner of front. Look at the pics to see if you care.

The original moto case is awful - avoid it; cheap plastic, scratches. (Google can tell you all you want)

Thanks a lot bout original one there are too reviews some said it's prertty perfect and some not
need more option

The original Moto case is aweful because it doesn't even allow access to the charging/usb/hdmi ports while closed. If you have that case you'll need to keep your case open while charging leaving your screen out in the open. I have the AYL case as mentioned above. It's pretty perfect.

2 of 2 here have said the moto case is poor. (And I told you to use google to read more) AND - though those 2 people took time to answer your request, you DID NOT "Thanks" either.
So go read google ..... good luck.[/QUOTE]

Agreed - I think it is an awesome case! I just bought a half-priced Lenovo K1 for the grandkids and was disappointed I couldn't get an AYL for it (but got something close).

first of all
I'm busy and when I'm logging reading this
thanks for you
and will decide

Sorry - I didn't mean to be such a jerk!

If you want a cheap sleeve. This one is only $3.99 shipped from fleabay and actually fairly nice.
They are not fully leather, only the flap is leather. The main part of the sleeve is made of nylon, not the kind that would snag, more like what you'd find on sturdy/durable luggage. If you choose the 2nd image on the E-bay auction listing and zoom in, you can see what I'm referring to in the bottom photo on that 2nd image. The flap has a magnetic fastener/closure (fully embedded into the material, not exposed). And the word "Verizon" is embossed in the leather flap ("tastefully" and relatively small).

Imo the trident case for xoom is best a bit pricey but I feel it was worth it

I have the otterbox case for my Xoom, a little pricey I think. But I like it. Paired up with the "latch" from O.B. It is pretty awesome.

Hi,check out the Body Glove Phantom Case. The fit and grip is perfect.All ports and other slots are easily accessible as well. In regards to the Xoom portfolio case, it scratches the sides of the tablet when inserted....build quality is cheap as well.

+1 on the Otterbox its well worth the price and it's the best case I've ever used

Ballistic "Tough Jacket" great fit, very durable and cost less than Otter Box.

great case, copped one for 20 on ebay,

I bought the Asus case from best buy and it fits really well. It has a sturdy plastic bracket on the inside next to the stylus holder with easy access to the micro usb port for charging and the hdmi port as well. every other button is easily accessible.

Hi I have Motorola Protective Portfolio Case for MOTOROLA XOOM and I'm very satisfied. I buy from amazon 2 month ago

XOOM sleeve w/ stand

I love my XOOM, but I am not a fan of cases. When I use it I want to hold the item, not a thick shell or rubber casing surrounding it. I recently purchased the Switcheasy TRIG case for ipad, but it wouldn't really stay closed since it was made before the XOOM came out. I just bought the Kroo Wrapper case instead, since it has the same design but uses velcro. If requested I can post pics of the Kroo case when it comes in next week. Anyone else come across any good sleeve/stand combo's that the XOOM would fit well in?
Link to Switcheasy TRIG case on Amazon (it was $40 when I bought it last month);
http://www.amazon.com/SwitchEasy-TRIG-Sleeve-Stand-Black/dp/B003VKE3JA/
Link to Kroo Wrapper on Amazon;
http://www.amazon.com/Kroo-Wrapper-Case-quot-Tablets/dp/B004U872EU/
Please post pics of the case when it comes in, i have a leather folio that i use now. I feel the same way you do when i want to use the xoom i want to hold the item i bought instead of a case that adds considerable thickness.
it will probably be very similiar to the switcheasy, but hopefully will stay closed since it at least says its sized for the XOOM. i'll do some comparison pics when it comes in next week.
Kroo Case
The Kroo case came in and the pics are below. the case is much skinnier and doesn't look like a puffy jacket anymore. its also not shiny, and has a nice faux-leather look to it. the velcro is also better than the buttons in my eyes. this one is a keeper for me! below are some pics of both the new and old cases (first 4 are the new one, second 4 are the old).
I'd recommend this case for anyone who wants a case/stand that isn't also a sleeve;

Hi thanks for the pics... can't quite work out how the case works to "wrap" the xoom from your them... any chance of a few more just to show how it works?
Also struggling to find a UK/EU supplier

looks OK but nothing beats the versatility of the ZooGue case imo

Motorola Xoom Portfolio Case

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.

MOD EDIT: No advertising
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.

Alumor Metal Case - From Capdase

This case - From Capdase is a super case for x10 offering
-2 in 1 excellent protection: Soft Jacket & metal outter casing
-Protects against drops, shocks, dust, dirt & scratches
-Included screen protector
Please click the pic and enlarge the pic or it will appear blurred or pixelated
I've been using it and here are some pics:
It is excellent case which adds only light weight (any case would)
We can open the usb flap without any difficulty
It covers the volume keys,camera keys and power keys,
the three keys (back,menu,home) are not protected
please post your views
it has a nice color
thx for sharing
Awwww Yeah! Amazing one! I'll buy one like this! Ebay, here I go!
Mine started ripping after about 9 months on the spot where the rubber edges of the case meet the actual case itself (The line that you see going all across, distinguishing between the two types of materials used for the case). All in all it was still a pretty good case, mines been through hell, probably why it ripped.
I just got mine on the mail today. It's black, and it's not cheap.
I decided to get one after reading so many good reviews about it. I haven't opened it yet, so wish me luck.
i love the case..... how may colorsto choose from??? anyone got any good seller from ebay to recommend??? thanks in advance
I do not know that he will not be used for a long sticky ~
But do not know whether there are other colors
That looks nice but it must be hard to pop the USB cover with it...

Hey could you say me what did u do when it ripped off?? Did you stick it?? Because I am afraid as it is slightly ripping off the edges...What case are you using now??
Where can I puchase one of these other than Ebay?
Ha! If you plan on getting one from Ebay, plan on shelling out $20. It's a cool case, but for now, I will stick to my $2 Hard Rubber case.
Too bad nobody's selling this over here... would love to try one.
I have been using the black version of the same case. Available at Croma stores all across India. Cost me around Rs.800 (appx $20). Real good proection, also adds a touch of class.
i have the black one but i,m not happy with that on my phone... make my phone bigger and the case from x10 ii is pretty good on scratches

Protective Rubber Gel Back Case for Galaxy Note

Hi All
So the hunt for a good Protective Rubber Gel Back Case for Note begins... similar to this one would be great!!
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/protec...one-back-case-for-i9100-galaxy-s2-black-70754
The minute I find one I'll buy it... I actually prefer getting the case even before I buy the Note.
Brgds... /Tubgirl
I'm with you, this phone is too expensive to damage. I've been searching everyday and have yet to find anything. I usually prefer Ballistics' cases but I doubt they will be making one for this phone so it's back to the drawing board. I'm also wondering if zagg will be making a screen protector for this device. Don't know what I can expect with such a massive device. Maybe turn to the manufacturers of the best tablet cases... I'll post here when I find some cases.

I'm liking the little brown case that just has a front flat that opens up like a book but it's not protective at all lol
Me too but I can't find a link to buy it yet. Expansys has blue and white...... Yuck..

I think the case of expansys is sleek. It's not making the note any thicker.
Hope they got variety of colors though..
samsung flipover
Samsung will come with a flipover, the back of the flipover will replace the original back of the note. So the note will only become a few mm thicker
I'm also looking to get the Samsung flipover cover when it becomes available. The only problem is the side of the Note remains unprotected, I'm thinking getting a gel case and trim off the left hand side so it will fit togther with the flipover cover.
Meanwhile, here is a really nice durable skin that is already available on Amazon I have used the Skinomi on my previous phones and it covers the phone nicely. All the cutouts are aligned and it barely feels like there is anything on it. Btw, the carbon fiber look makes it look really mean and clean. oh another thing, it's lifetime warranty too.

How does the screen protector feel? I know the Skinomi's tablet protector feels rubbery.

The carbon fibre film must just be 3m di-noc carbon fibre, can be had much cheaper on Ebay and you can just custom cut it to any device.

yup....looking for the same but no luck.
The flip cover is not practical IMHO esp when making calls.
I always used to get hard crystal clear cases such as

for my phones.
But lately ive really liked the TPU gel case with stand, such as:

Which is just like the case in the OP really
The stand is surprisingly useful!

Everyone who doesn't need the case right away, wait til piel frama comes out with a imagnum type of case. This case is expensive but it protects your device against any earthquake you throw at it. I have one for my hd2 and getting one for the note cause my hd2 is still like new. You can put in your e-mail and they'll let you know when it's there to buy. Here's the link

If they release a case like this for the Note I think it might be worth a try. The kickstand could be useful.

Can't you just turn the phone upside down from the photo? Usually they are a bit universal but if sound and power buttons are free... I'd like the strap at the bottom rather than the top of the phone anyway.
Yes but all openings are correct, so sound and camera size would mismatch
I have got the black one in first pic. Couldn't get the white one for my silver white Gio.
I got a silicone cover, i gues it already saved me already a couple of phones...............
Most of the gel cases on ebay fit perfectly.
I got one at bestbuy, works extremely well!
Is there another site with more accessories for the gio?
amazon has accessories for sale too.
hm..i was thinking to buy a silicon case can someone post some screenshots please?(those who have a case on their phone ofc)

Theres a lot of cases for example one for 2$ and some others for 8$-10$ per unit I bought one cheapest I think 1,8$ so I think I will get it soon but the quality will be poor I very want COMBO CASE just look for it in ebay it looks cool from screens

this cases looks pretty good! I was thinking to buy one, but I want to buy from a shop in my country...
I like the cases I find they make the phone easier to hold and protect it from drops and scratches. though they do make the device a bit bulkier.
I use this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-TPU-S...Accessories&hash=item27c53fc339#ht_3947wt_932
But my Gio sometimes shutdown because of over heating. That silicone can't let it breath

For Romania you can use okazii dot ro. You can find every thing you need there. Hope it helped.
not fond of that romanian site. had troubles with em in the past.
silicone cases aren't that good...
silicon case are good if you not play much because if you play gio heat and battery go down fast
