XDA 2 Rubberised case

Just purchased this case from www.pdamods.com:
http://www.pdamods.com/proddetail.asp?prod=XDA2SCCS
It is a rubber case that has one advantage over the clear case that I purchased from them, that is that you do not have to open it to write in the screen.

Is the screen covered by plastic?

No its not, however I purchased a pack of screen protectors from them so I've got that covered !!

You can find the same silicon case at www.javoedge.com, just check if there is any price difference

XDA 2 Rubberised Case
Don't get ripped off
It's on ebay for £9.45 plus £3 shipping, delivery from Hong Kong
I've bought 2 and am very happy
Wait a while a save some cash

Great choice, didn´t thought about it

New Generation Seidio Rugged?!...

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!

Any Decent Cases in the UK??

Hi all,
I'm not having much luck getting a decent case for my Xoom in the UK, so far I have bought the following:-
(1) UltimateAddons Anti-Shock Memory Foam Sleeve Case for Motorola Xoom Tablet PC
(http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004U7BW60) - This was WAY TOO BIG!
(2) Port Designs Berlin Netbook Skin 10 Inch With Life Time Warranty (black)
(http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002PD61B2) - Nice case but really designed to hold a notebook (Has straps to hld the screen & keyboard) so my Xoom slips around inside.
(3) Black Rugged Carrying Case for Apple IPAD, iPAD2 AND Motorola Xoom 10.1 inch Tablet
(http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004W1CFMO) - Didn't bother opening this one as it looked like my Xoom would slip around inside this case too??
I would prefer a case with handles but failing that a leather case - I quite like the ZooGue Leather case but this is not available in the UK
Any Suggestions??
Cheers
Ody

Well, I'm not in the UK, but I'm down here in Australia, so I have even less range to choose from than you (the Xoom isn't even out here yet). Well, you could still order the zoogue one from their site, I think. I'm pretty sure they have international shipping, don't they?
Also, I recently bought a case off eBay that has fully adjustable viewing angles (via the use of velcro), like the zoogue but is only US$25. I think it looks really nice too, but I guess I'll find out when it arrives.
I can't post links, but if you search "Black Folio Leather Case Cover For Motorola Xoom Tablet" exactly, it should show up. It's the one with taylor swift in on the xoom screen, and the seller is "dcone_us"

I've also been looking in the UK without much luck.
word of warning on the zoogue case, I preordered, but since it shipped 3 weeks ago I've not recieved anything. No responce to my latest emails to them either

My experience of buying stuff from the US, is that you'll get hammered for customs!
I wanted an Otterbox for my old Dell streak and ordered one from an ebay seller for about £20 inc postage (in the UK you could only pre-order for about £26) BUT the post office then charged me £10 adminstration for the customs, £1.70 VAT then another £1 for having the incorrect duty, so in the end it cost me £34 odd pounds!!
I Just checked on the ZooGue website that they ship by USPS so it will take a few weeks + the customs hold up
It took about 3 weeks for my Otterbox to arrive and that was bt USPS Express! which is faster than USPS Priority??

I am in Sweden and ordered the Zoogue case. After almost three weeks it arrived and I can only recommend it, its a great case.

I bought this one from ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270737383497
It's OK. The hole for the front facing camera wasn't positioned correctly so it covered it a little bit. I made it larger with a knife and now it's fine. You can't plug in the charger when its fully closed. Apart from those issues it's adequate. Better than the official case anyway.

The stock folio case is pretty good, seems to provide decent protection while being relatively small.

I ordered this one and its a perfect fit and looks great
Tuff-Luv 'Veggie' Faux Leather Pull-Tab Case for Motorola Xoom from Amazon UK. Sorry forum blocks me from posting url.

got the stock folio case , pretty happy with it , not too bulky , enough protection , 2 stand positions , think it was £30

I've tried a few cases (all from Amazon UK)...
The Navitech - cheap, but if you just want protection, then I guess it works, but I'm not using it, as the flap doesn't work in sofa mode
Motorola Folio - advertised as leather on Amazon, but it's nylon. No scratching problems for me, and I actually like it... protection at minimum size and it works in the speaker dock too. No more holding the Xoom while lying on a sofa
PDair BX2 Black Leather Case - expensive, but it is well made. It also offers more tilt positions than the Folio case. Doesn't work in the dock, but very easy to remove the Xoom from it (unlike the Folio case). Offers more protection than folio case, but it is bulkier. Also the leather border means some buttons on the edge of the screen can be a bit harder to press, compared to the Folio.
For the moment I am using the PDair

I've just recieved this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004XGIPJA/ref=oss_product
I think it's excellent for the price.
Great fit, solid close, and the stand doesn't collapse under pressure.

I just ordered this one
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Cover-Up-Moto...K_iPad_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item2310525de7
So fingers crossed it is nice. A bit more expensive than some of the others cheap cases... if it is no good then my next choice will be the noreve case

Brand new Zoogue case in the UK
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....70524&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT#ht_500wt_1156

I've ordered this one for 19.10 GBP (22,54 EUR) incl. shipping costs:
LuvTab Black Luxury Executive Wallet (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004X5JO9Q/ref=oss_product)
Ordered it at Amazon.co.uk, but from Germany. I seems that it has been shipped from Krefeld/Germany, so it arrived less than 2 days after
For the moment I'm contented with it, it fits perfectly and doesn't bloat the Xoom too much. If I come to the US as planned for this summer, I'll have a look at this special new original folio case from Moto/VZW. Until then the current one is well enough.
Once which is the biggest problem with all of these cases appears with this as well: the device can't be charged while the case is closed.

If anyone's interested,
I ordered and received a second ZooGue Genius leather case for the xoom, now on ebay for UK mailing..
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190534111386#ht_500wt_1156

I received this one
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260775644654&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_1727wt_916
not bad for 12.99 + free delivery.

Received now and it isn't too bad. Nice soft leather... if perhaps a little too soft. The case seems to suffer from the top lip around the front camera not sitting snugly to the device that similar cases report. No notification light cutout or closed charging cutout.
Not bad for using in stand mode but still slips down a little a although there is a bottom flap that folds under the case there is no fixing for it. Also the lowest angle is not too comfortable for typing so had to lie it down flat. But the elastic fastening strap is very "moleskin" and secure.
They also claim there is a stylus/SD card slot but that is not really practical... if you look at the front there is a vertical line in the leather... this not just a detail stitch but a flap of sorts that might be OK for sliding business cards or notes of paper that you want handy briefly but anything of any depth just falls out all the time!
All in all though it isn't a bad case now I have gotten used to it and over come my first impression and given up with stylus pocket thing.

Please recommend me a case from Ebay

I just bought a TPU case from Ebay which would have been great except for the fact that the cut out for the mini usb is not big enough, so I can't plug in the charger properly =/
Can you please recommend me a case from ebay <$10 (I'm not baller like you guys dropping $50 on a case lol) that covers the phone completely (no Rock Quicksand please). Generally I favor TPU cases because it seems like it has better shock protection then hard cases since its a softer material, but I'm open to all suggestions. A case similar to the Incipio Silicrylic or SGP Neo Hybrid would be great, but they are just more then I would pay for a case. Ebay links are better then Amazon because I need to ship it to Canada.
I'm considering the Mercury Pearl case but 1) all the colors are pretty girly 2) there's a lot of branding on the back
Thanks

You just take an Xacto knife to it and make the hole bigger. Shouldn't be too difficult.

Many Amazon.com sellers do not ship to Canada, so ebay is preferable since HK/China will ship to Canada. Besides, many Amazon sellers just buy products the same Ebay products from China to resell at a mark up. For example the S-Line case posted above.

Any cheap rubber cases?

Just wondering if someone know where to buy a cheap rubber case for this device. Most cases ive seen are leather or the smart cover type.

Planning on buying a bobjgear for the fhd but this will work for the meantime.

Frankdw said:
Search the rubber case at Amazon or EBay, such cases are available now. Nexus 7 2nd is a new device and there will be various rubber cases 2 weeks later at B2B Website. If you want to get one rubber case for Nexus 7 2nd with a good look, suggest you to wait one or 2 weeks.

Look on ebay for TPU cases. Most of them are around $5 with free shipping (to the US at least) but they're coming from China so it will take a week or two.

Exactly! Ebay has LOTS of TPU cases for the N7 FHD!! I found a US seller (California to be exact) who has the S line TPU case for $5.58 with free shipping. Cost me a few more dollars than ordering from Shenzen, but this way I'll have it 4 days after ordering instead of 2 weeks(I live just outside Atlanta, Georgia). Ordered it yesterday (Monday) and tracking number has it scheduled for delivery Thursday. Can't wait!! Sucks being so impatient!
