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.
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.

I would like to know about this too.
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.

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.

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. The front cover folds back to prop up the XOOM. My only complaint was that it covers the charging port when completely closed.

I ordered a ZooGue case genius along with one of their free stylus. I'm still waiting on the case but it should be here in another day or two. I hear it is *the* best case for the Xoom, but that's a matter of opinion I intend on confirming once I get mine

I'm actually happy with the faux leather one from Motorola
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.

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.
I went to Seidio's site today to see what their progress on cases for the Nexus 5 look like and found that they have their holder page up with all of the usual cases there. Everything is showing as "Under Development" but the prices are up at least.
http://www.seidioonline.com/LG-Google-Nexus-5-s/9164.htm
You can go to another phone's section and get an idea of what the cases look like. I am personally looking for a ruggedized case with a holster and a kickstand, so far it looks like the absence of Otterbox (just like the Nexus 4) means that Seidio might be the only option.
no battery case
hmm i wonder if that damn metal kickstand (which uses magnets) will interfere with wireless charging

Doubtful, the official charger that is due to hit the play store sometime utilizes magnets to hold the N5 in place with the metal discs in the N5. Magnets can impact the compass and such, but not wireless charging.

A battery or an Obex case are the only things I would consider frrom Seidio.
Gah! Where's the Convert?
well after doing a bit of research it seems that the N5 cases under development are very similar to their Nexus 4 cases, and their N4 cases work perfectly with wireless charging. so all there is to do now is wait patiently...
well i guess there's no chance of a november release at this point...
You can still click the links even though there is no product picture up and they state whether the phone can use NFC and or wireless charging on each product. Also the convert is there, a couple of them. I have an email in asking when they might release but no answer yet.
I'm not sure if alot of you know this - but this company has a partnership with bestBuy where they sell the exact same cases under the "platinum series" brand. The fine print on the packaging even says seidio on it and they are roughly HALF the price.
So be on the lookout for these new cases at BestBuy for less cash :laugh:
one troubling thing i noticed is that on their site they still list LG G2 cases as "under development". The G2 was released ~50 days BEFORE the Nexus 5. if THAT's still under development, i'd say the odds of us seeing the N5 cases before 2014 are not great. seems like seidio really screwed up with the timing of this release...
They now have the cases on the website, sent them an enquiry about them working with the wireless chargers and they said that they don't
I wonder if its because of the metal kickstand.

keeping my fingers crossed, I have the i Blason but unfortunately the fit and finish just isn't very good.

Dilex and Surface NOW SHIPPING!
I just went to the Seidio web site and the Nexus 5 Surface and Dilex cases/holsters are listed as NOW SHIPPING. I absolutely LOVE Seidio's Convert case for my Galaxy Nexus - it was a big step up from the Otterbox Defender. I'm certainly going to try either the Dilex or Convert (when it's available), but I'm not liking the idea of a kick stand adding to the bulk of the case.
just got my surface combo. the kickstand adds zero bulk. the case is super thin and super light. makes the i-blason i was using kind of brick-like. and wireless charging works just fine, as i suspected
