The accessories suck for this phone, like 2 crappy cases available. maybe 3.
anyone find anything descent?
I agree, this phone is largely being ignored by that accessory makers in favor of the hotter, sexier phones. Still, I managed to find this case on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003NY7CVU . Very well made and fits the phone perfectly. I did a slight mod on mine and cut a small rectangle out of the side so I can charge the phone without having to take it out of its case. Otherwise, have only tried one screen protector, which turned out to be junk.
bandroidx, I think I have most of the cases available on the market. The Amzer rubber cases are inexpensive (9.95) on Amazon. They are grippy and secure on the phone. The Otterbox Commuter is nice also and available at Amazon. It is a two piece design with a hard plastic exterior that wraps around a rubber inner liner. I also got a Speckcase from AT&T when I first got the phone. The case was an early production and lacked a cutout in the rear for the speaker. This has since been remedied. I didnt care for it as much because it is so secure around the phone that it is hard to get in and out to access battery. Hope this helps.
I got a nice rubber form fitting case with all the cutouts and a wide selection of colors on Amazon for $1.25+$2.95 shipping, as far as a screen cover, I haven't needed one with the gorilla glass it features.
amazon.com search for Cbus wireless, they ship quick too!
The only case we have at ATT Cor stores are the *speck cases. They look great and fit well but they cover the speakerphone so if you rely SP your out of luck.
I use an invisible shield case on mine. Works great and has definitely helped protect my phone and makes it easier to wipe down.
I got an otter box and love it and they're only like thirty three at amazon which isn't much more than the spec. The defender.

i got the hard plastic cover case from ATT pretty suckish and i really dont use it at all, i only use the screen protector
It would be nice to see some sort of car dock for music/nav in the car. Im not a huge fan of cases because of the rubber-like outside already on the phone.
You tried googlin international online stores?
Otterbox
+1 for Otterbox, great case with good protection and fit
I just don't like how the proximity sensor is just open. Dust gets in like crazy.

given that its not high end phone its no surprise there few accessories are available at the moment.
i'd love an extended battery more than anything else. i'm a heavy user.
can anyone recommend a nice one? i'm not sure what to get.
I wiah we had better accessories
the used bravo i just got has a otter box commuter case on it, im really not imppressed with the fit, its big. on my friends evo 4g is big too.
so anyways im buying a couple of ebay rubber cases. if there are good, i will post the link and some pics when i get them
Having an idea to make my own car and home docks. Phone reacts to magnet around the usb port. Idea idea. Also I saw a dock at an AT&T store that looked like one for the bravo but one little detail, the usb would be backwards from our phone. Take it apart and just turn it around? Hmm.......
after 3 days ordered i got these cases, i got them from this seller http://myworld.ebay.com/shipmaster8/?_trksid=p4340.l2559
link to item
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230700814358#ht_888wt_1037
they are 5.75 for 2 free shipping, really good fit maybe just 1-2 mm off, doesnt effect anything, its real good for the price fast shipping. i wound say much better quality than the otter box commuter. beefier too, not very bulky
i also got these films, very good too

Here's some good accessories!
Of course everything is on eBay.
Desktop Charging Dock
Wall Dock + Extra BF5X Battery, Cheap! I would buy it just for the battery.
Search Results for the tons of cases now available + Screen protectors too. I really like the look of the Carbon Fiber case. Going on a shopping spree in February. Budgeted $800 for eBay stuff.
Looks like the iPad case, but leather and only $17.99 with free shipping on eBay.

Anyone try this one yet? I'm going to buy one and I'll post a review once I get it.
A few pics:
I just ordered one as well. The pictures look good. We'll see what it's like when it arrives.
Note: the price is now $18.99 with free shipping.
The case showed up today from the eBay seller and I have to say I'm quite pleased.
It's fairly sturdy, holds the tablet snugly in place with a velcro strap, has perfectly aligned openings for the camera, charging port, headphone jack etc., has all the other features of an iPad case like folding up to incline for typing or watching movies and when closed it's held shut with hidden magnets.
I've put all the pictures I took of the case into an album for those of you who are looking for a case.

Nice, thank you so much for the amazing pictures.
So when it's shut down it doesn't open up by mistake? The magnets attach to the tablet itself?
It's certainly the best price for this type of case.... now I am torn between this one and the official book sleeve case (which is $ 60!)

No, when it's closed it stays shut and is very solid. The magnets are in the edges of the flap that closes and in the part that covers the bezel of the tablet (right where the front-facing camera is).
Because of how sleek and light the GT10.1 is I didn't want a case that would add too much bulk like the ones I've seen for the XOOM. As long as it holds together this case fits the bill perfectly and I don't see myself replacing it
Nice find! Wish I would of read this thread earlier. For the $17.99 price with free shipping why not? Personally I'd raise that price if I were them!
This is actually Polyurethane (PU) and not leather. But I'm sure you all assumed that given the price
edit: Apparently you can get these in 5 different colors if your order directly from China: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220798495079

It's the "PU" that scares me. I got a "PU" case for my Nook Color and it stunk so bad I had to leave it outside. P.U.! It smelled like dead meat.

I've been using mine for a week now and I'm quite happy with it, especially for the price I paid.
When using it as a stand, it's not the most stable unless you arrange it so that you're viewing it "upside-down" but it'd be fine as long as it's on a stable surface.
Weight?
Do you have the specs on the weight of this case? I want one that is *really* *really* light to go with the low weight of the gtab
This a nice find. I will definitely keep this in mind.

I really like this case.
I currently have the belkin slim folio case but I find very hard to insert and take the tab out because the case is very tight and its material generates too much friction.
Is it hard to insert and take the tab out from this case?
Thanks!

I just bought one based on your review. Thanks for posting this. It seems like the best case for the money so far. How many days did it take from ordering till you received it? I'm hoping to have it before camping this weekend.
Also, it has to be unfolded to be charged correct?
Hm... this looks like a nice case for carrying the tab around. I actually got a soft gel (TPU) case just to be able to throw the tablet around at home since I already have a screen protector. And I like how it's texturized on the sides for better grip.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...94520&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_2922wt_1158
Will keep this case cover in mind though. Looks nice enough.
My box of Xperia Play didn't include a pouch so I must buy something to protect the phone.
I saw a cool plastic case: http://www.accessorygeeks.com/oem-t...-plastic-silicone-case-ag-xper-py-bk-blk.html and I thought it's good for me, but after a while I realised it turns the phone into a brick, something I don't really want to.
So then another option is to get a pouch, searched and found a few, but pretty expensive ($35 - $60). I just want something good, good looking and for a price of maximum $15.
Optional: An invisible screen protector which theoretical protects the screen for scratches.
I need some help here. What should I buy?
I don't know if you know this but, the Xperia Play comes with a preinstalled invisible screen protector. So you're half covered already.
I can't recommend you a case/pouch since I don't have one but I don't even want to know how bulky it'd be with one when it's on my pocket.
I got the official sony ericsson executive hardcase and i love it - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Ericsson-SMA7110-Executive-Xperia/dp/B004S5CP0Q
I don't really like the snap on case because I hate adding bulk to an already bulky phone and also I have the DK300 dock and it would require me to constantly take off the other cases.
I also bought the official pouch that came with the European models from here - http://www.netimes.com/shop/sony-ericsson-xperia-play-pouch-ca850-p-3255.html?cPath=70_808

Off-topic but how trustworthy is that site? I see they have a lot of accessories and ship worldwide, so far I've only used DealExtreme but they don't have many phone-specific stuff (except for the iphone).
Fast and efficient and supply tracked shipping.
I was amazed they had tracked shipping with signature approval for something that was just an envelope.

Check this out: (google foofshop)
I bought my macbook sleeve/pouch from there a few years ago and it was awesome for keeping scratches off etc. Then When I got my play I measured up the iphone sizes for their iphone cases and on a whim just bought one to see if my would fit in it. was a bit tight at first but after a while it now fits as snug-as-a-bug-in-a-rug! and it looks cool aswell, hardly adds any bulk and even if it does at least when I pull it out I don't look like I have a brick for a phone but just an awsome pouch/sleeve thing and i pop my phone out of. defo recomend.
So to make sure you guys are aware, if you're up for it, buy the iphone sized one, thats the one I got. They are designed to fit iphones but plays fit fine ;oP lol. They're Australian based but post all around the world, i got mine within a week in the UK.

I got the second one with my phone. I generally hate phone cases but this is nice since it's not making a brick out of phone and it's not taking away it's style. On the left is a cut-out so the headphones plug isn't covered, and it makes easier to take out the phone.
Pouch on first link is a bit ugly.
bought a cheapy gel case of Amazon and noticed there is not openings for the stereo speakers , I just looked at the case in post 1 and it has not speaker openings as well
This item, on ebay, has the speaker ports open, and is slimmer, and better than the Gel one I tried:
Search for that item number: 190527208284
I've got one of these, and it's well worth a few quid more.
Your case looks like the one i was going to order from Amazon for £2.99 , but is only £1.99
Thanks
John.

lol..It's a nice case, fits well, is slimmer than the crap one I had(prepaymania £2 gel case, and another from local phone shop, both identical to be honest), and I had given up on cases for it, as well, I thought most were the same(people even have issues with otterbox, etc..)
It's semi transparent, and it allows the sliding motion well, better than the other two I tried, i felt they were prising the phone apart, but this one isn't an issue.
well worth £1.99, IMO.

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.

+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 am using exactly the sam case, it seems to be of decent enough quality. All the right holes in right places and right size. Like you say it fits absolutely perfect. I particuly like the bits over the power and volume buttons and the texture for extra grip. This case is an absolute bargain costing me less than £2

Got the same case as op bought off ebay all of the cases looked exactly the same.
why are all these cases making access holes for the dock connectors, when if you have a case on your phone, it will no longer sit in the dock?
I got this case in the post today and it fits perfectly.
Not too shabby for a temp case. Definately makes the phone easier to hold. Doesnt feel like its gonna slip out my hand anymore!
Think I am going to have to get a few.
Another positive experience here. Mine arrived today. Phone feels so much more solid in the hand. Thanks for the tip.
mine arrived today. Used link from the OP. Well pleased with the fit and look of the case for the price. The added grip is also MUCH appreciated!
Thanks again to the OP.

I guess there could be third-party docks that can fit the GN with a case on. Just need to make the fit loose enough and have long pogo pins.
Ive got the same case too and can confirm its a great fit and will do me until a proper good case comes out.
Quick update ... a few days in (and several times taken off and put back) and it hasnt stretched or warped at all ! very impreesive for the money
ive bought cheap covers before and usually regretted it but this ones a keeper
