Does anyone know of any good website where I can purchase a Motorola Xoom case that will protect my tablet?
Really happy with my otterbox

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

Otterbox is a good way to go. Also there are a number of good case at the site below.

I got a nice generic one from target yesterday and since they stopped selling the Xoom all the accessories are clearance now.

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.
Check out this case:
KHOMO: PU Leather Case with DETACHABLE Bluetooth Keyboard for Motorola Xoom Tablet
It comes with a free bluetooth keyboard, just bought it from Amazon, i'll report how good it is.

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.
Just found this on eBay:

Looks pretty nice. Anyone have one?

I have one for my Xperia ZL. It's a nice case and the front has metal in it to protect the screen against damage. The only question I have is does anything hold the cover down if you turn it upside-down.
Ordered mine should have it on a few days.

Thanks,
I just ordered one. It looks nice and the price is reasonable.
I just ordered a poetic and I think this looks much nicer. Let us know what you think. Might have to send back the poetic.

Call me old fashioned, but I really liked the sleeve that came with my Nexus One and I would love to have a similar one for my Nexus 5. Any suggestions? I previously used this one from built on my Galaxy Nexus, but it was a little small.
And of course, if it was awesome enough to have the little Android on it ... that would be badass
I used the supplied neoprene pouch all the time i used my N1 too. After two years both were still pristine! When i got my SGS2 i bought a neoprene pouch for it from Ebay.
If you can find one that fits a SGS4, it'll probably fit the N5 okay. Like this one:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Black-Ela...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item51ae75c5c0
This is what I used on my N4 and fits my N5

Haha I used these pouches on all of my phones. They are brilliant. I've never had a need for a case thanks to these. Search for android neoprene on ebay and you'll find some. A year or so ago, I got them for about $2-3 USD but now the prices have gone up to about $4-5USD. Still good lil pouches.
Here's one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Android-Neo...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item3f2b5ae2ce
Loved my nexus 1 pouch so much.. Used it for a while..until it became unusable. Elegant and it perfectly fit the device.
I loved it so much that for every phone I had after I purchased one from eBay.
The sellers tend to send the wrong size very often.
The problem is that, contrary to the original pouch, the eBay ones are very very very stiff... Definitely a different material. The original was softer and the phone would come in and out easily.
I will probably buy one again just to have but the feeling is different.
Glad someone was in love like me...
Ps all the alternative pouches you listed just don't compare!

Yea that's so true. The one I listed above has the Android logo but the material definitely isn't the same as the one that came with the Nexus One. It'd be neat if Google included these or sold them. Surely they wouldn't be expensive to manufacture.
I still have the original Nexus One pouch, new unused in the box with the phone (phone is definitely used lol)

Hi all,
I'm looking to purchase a quality leather pouch for my N5. Something like the Krusell Luna model:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006VAMYWA/
I dislike the models that require pulling a tab to get your phone out of the pouch.
Any suggestions are appreciated, thank you.
I am looking for the exact same thing.
Anything wrong with "Krusell Luna 4XL Premium Leather Pocket Pouch for Samsung Galaxy Note and Galaxy Note II and Other SmartPhones with 5.0 / 5.5 inch Screen - Black/Sand" that is preventing you from choosing this particular case?

I have a Bugatti case for my N4 and it's great. The N5 doesn't fit as well because it's a bit taller. I'll try and get some images up for you tomorrow.
I'd like to get another slim case as well. How fully Bugatti makes a pouch that's a little bigger.
Ok, thank you.
I tried XL slimcase in store but N5 just floats in it because it's to large, but they didn't have any other version to try it out.
I'd say the best quality ones will likely be handmade, from a site such as this: http://www.etsy.com/uk/search?q=nexus 5&view_type=gallery&ship_to=GB
I've been really tempted to buy one of these, although some are quite costly. You could even ask one of the designers to make you a custom one!

Thanks for posting these up for me. :good:
Now I got this indigo confort pouch size XL and it fits perfectly.
http://www.indigocase.com/products_confort.html
It is slim and good quality for 14€.
I just found and ordered the Happer leather pouch from amazon. Bit expensive at $50, looks bland compared to the dodo pouches but not much options are available for the N5. Will receive this on Tuesday, will share more more details on how it feels then.

I use this one. It is meant for the Z30 but works the same with the Nexus 5 and I quite like the red little accents on the sides. Plus I have access to the volume rocker on the sides.

That looks really nice, actually. Nice job, and thanks for sharing.
Here's what i've accidentally found today. Are my eyes deceiviny me or this is "true" bumper for N5?

Seems like its just a bumper. It does say Rim bumper with skin

Yeah, as Jeff said, that looks like the Abacus bumper.
Why are most of the N5 bumpers setup to have a two-tone shade of black and dark-gray on the side? If you see the picture on the eBay link, you can see what appears to be a new shade of color starting where the power button is (on the right side). That is exactly how the Abacus is designed. Even the White iBlason does this (black starts at the power button area). It looks ugly to me to have a new color start uninterrupted like that. The Poetic has a two-tone as well, but it does it differently, kind of like the LG N4 bumper...
Anyone know if these bumpers protrude out the back far enough to protect the camera lens when laying the phone down?

I ordered the poetic bumper on amazon. However they aren't shipping until the 17th. For the price I figured it was worth the gamble. Will report back when I get it.

nice one,
anybody got some review about the case and/or experiences with the e-shop?
Not sure if this review stands, but I had a bumper which I feel like looked a lot like that one for an older phone, and it made the phone itself feel a lot thicker. just my 2 cents.
