TPU case from Verizon

I picked up a perfect TPU case at Verizon for my Xoom Wifi. Just letting you know if you aren't looking for the book style. It was unbranded so I have no clue who makes it. Its thick and fits like a glove. The color matches up perfectly. Its like a tinted smoke. Also comes with a screen protector. It's not great but works. Doesn't cover the entire glass. Just the screen.
It's really glossy and grippy. Smooth and doesn't attract lint. Looks great and doesn't detract from the sleekness of the xoom.
Its not on their site. I just walked into my local Verizon and asked to see all their xoom cases. Got sick of buying cases from the web to receive them and find that they suck.

looks realy nice! how much was it? I have the black silicon case from verizon and I dont really like it as much lol

It was more than I expected, 35 bucks with tax I think, but the fact is that it's really nice. Words to describe this case are: Rigid, smooth, grippy, classy.
those black silicon cases are no good. They are all floppy and collect lint. TPU cases are where it's at.
The guys working at the Verizon store I went too were pretty lame. I asked if they had xoom cases. One dude said no, then another guy said yes and sends mr. no over to this cabinet. They weren't on display at all. He opens the cabinet and I had to tell him which one was made for the xoom. He didn't even know what a xoom was. It was wierd. At any rate, they had a folding book style, then this TPU case.
Since I had no luck buying them from Amazon, even after reading good reviews I went on a mission to find one locally. This is the only case I'll ever need for this thing.

Oh wow thats quite a bit. I hear you on TPU being better. I have a case like the one you have for the xoom but its for my thunderbolt. I dont use the silicon xoom case as much now. I been using the folio case with the built in stand from verizon. Great combo with the xoom keyboard when you need a stand.
But I like your TPU case more lol. Good find!

They sell the same cases on amazon and Walmart for around fifteen (stupid xoom won't let me put numbers ...or backspace).

That's not really descriptive. When you buy from amazon, it's not always amazon. There are tons of sellers and such. You could have bought it from a bad seller. Not all are the same. Like ebay.

I bought it from the same company in your amazon links. It's ok, but the one I got from Verizon is better. And they are definitely NOT the same thing like you mentioned above.
No. I don't work for Verizon. I sell licensed t shirts wholesale for a living.

ebay TPU case I bought from a US seller for $7 fits like a glove. Same TPU case i have on my EVO.

Just got my case today and it's awesome. Just as good of a quality as a $25 or more case. Combined with my invisible shield, I'm good to go. Here's some pics of the front and back. My camera had a bit of trouble focusing on it. As I was trying to keep myself out of the pic.

[Q] looking for a white case with a kickstand?

is there a white case w/ kickstand ? or just a white case i want a nice one i had this case i bought for 30$ in sprint store but the kick stand broke..:
http://www.amazon.com/Impact-Resist...DYJM/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1329515921&sr=8-5
thanks for the help

Just letting you know if you bought from a corporate sprint store it has a one year warranty for replacement for any and all damage. Also I have been looking for a white one with a kickstand as well and have not been able to find one

Casemate POPin wihte...google it.

1. Sorry to hear about your broken case.
2. Rule of thumb: never, ever buy accessories in-store. The markup is ridiculously high. You're just flushing money down the toilet. See the links I've posted below, they charge a whole lot less for cases made essentially by the same people (China), and they're Still making good profit. Of course, if the item is a brand name item like for example Seidio, Case-Mate, Zagg, etc., you'll still get a better price online, just not as steep a discount as comparable items. Your best bets:
Generic, white on white
Generic, white on black
Generic, white on black (different seller)
Like the one Sprint offers, but the white version
Case-Mate Pop! Case
Case-Mate Pop! Case on Amazon
If you plan on buying one of the "Generic" ones above (which also come in other colors), be sure to do the modifications to the case as highlighted on Youtube by nerys71. And if I'm not mistaken, he's also a user on here in the forum. Shout-out to you, bud.

Here is a whole list of those hybrid case with kick stand

thanks every1 much appreciated

and is the white/white heavy duty really fat?

FWIW I'm very happy with my Pop! Case-mate from Amazon

I have a casemate pop as well, and it's a really nice case.

Does the case pop by chance fit the seidio active holster? Anyone know? Thank you in advance!

Check this one out I asked my coworker if his site carried them and showed me these. They ship out of Oklahoma City, OK and very quickly. They have lots of cases for our phone.
I personally rock this one from them with my white E4GT.

I've seen several places online that sell them(this seller had the best price), now they're nowhere to be found. Your best bet currently is to contact the eBay seller and ask if they'll be getting more of that case any time soon. Keep looking on eBay, Amazon, and Google, it might pop-up somewhere if a seller gets a shipment of them.
I'm not much of a fan of that case. When I first got my E4GT, I remember buying the black version of it. It seemed to be more of a tray that your phone popped into than a case. The coverage around the phone wasn't good, especially at the top and bottom of the phone. And the kickstand was extremely hard to open (on the one I got at least) and seemed cheap and couldn't stand the phone up-right. But hey, whatever floats your boat. To each their own.

Thanks! I'll post here if I find them again...

Leather case for galaxy S3

i ordered one of these , as keeping the case away from your skin by a few millimeters cuts down the emissions by heaps
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/D2-EASEC...Accessories&hash=item5ae746eee8#ht_3358wt_905

I didn't get my case, yet but I have search results based on Google.

https://www.proporta.com/product/samsung-galaxy-s3-leather-case-with-aluminium-lining
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...g-galaxy-s3-crumena-leather-pouch-series.html

They're expensive, but Vaja has one small leather case out already, and I'm sure they'll design more with the relative similarity between carrier devices, and the number of buyers across the world.
The first one they've come up with is $70, which sounds really high, but I can tell you from experience that these things are inSANEly well-made. They're probably hand-stitched by one 85 year-old lady in Venezuela, but their cases are awesome.

Cheaper one

I can't post URLs yet, but I got a leather carrying case on Amazon for about $6.

I got this one. I love it because vertical position is a must and also the clip can rotate. It does leave some black marks on the back of the phone but nothing is perfect

The $5 & $10 cases on ebay /amazon are not real leather.
I am also interested in some real leather options. A search showed "hoco" as an option, they look pretty slim too.

I've had an Easecase (a different model from the one the OP ordered - I think mine is a B1) for my HD2, S2 and now S3. They're really well made, fit perfectly and you get a choice of leather, lining colour, closure system etc, I do look at other ones available but in the end I always end up getting their stuff

Seconded! I don't have one for my S3 (yet), but I've been considering the Grip or the Pouch they have on their site.
I've bought their cases for past phones and not only do they look great, but they're very durable. The price-point is a little painful, but well-worth it in my book.

Might as well ask this here. But do any of you guys (yea guys on this one) carry around a wallet case? I was gonna get a SGP Valentinus black for my SGS3 but I got to thinking, maybe it seems a little feminine. I wanted one cuz it would mean for me to not carry a wallet around. I wanted either the Valentinus or the Argos. What you guys think

You can use Capdase leather case. Maybe some of them got wallet design. But recently, they use a frame to hold the phone and neglect those wallet layer. Sigh........

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.

They look kind of cheap, but does anyone know what that hole on the back could be for?

That's the kickstand.
Edit: Oh, you mean the hole at the bottom. I have no idea then ^^.

Dunno but I'd guess maybe a hole for antennas or signal? Sounds reasonable..

Looks like a neat and safe case. I have a kickstand on my GN case and its pretty useful.

Maybe it's over the small little LG logo near the bottom of the phone?

Same case, but a lot more expensive? That K logo must cost a lot

Likely to show off the LG logo, i have one of the cheap "s-wave" tpu cases from ebay and it has the same thing.
Edit: Also the Hyperion is on sale for $1.99 plus shipping at amazon right now..unfortunately without enough posts I cant link to it.

Please look around before buying cases. The case that Hyperion is selliong is nothing more than a generic case that can be purchased for $4. Every product link that been posted in this thread is more than 3x the price if you look harder.
