While it is listed on Amazon it's from a third party seller and availability is listed at 3 to 5 weeks.
I'm waiting for it too
i heard it will start shipping between may 4th to the 6th. Am waiting to get my hands on one as well. Am not happy with the current price point. Especially the amazon price. I have seen others online with way less. Maybe the price will balance out once it is release. But it's a good investment, considering the device it is for. That's less then a best buy insurance for a year. So i won't mine buying one at that price if it stays that way.
The tech specs show the case as .84" but I think that is without the stand. Anyone hear how thick the combination of case and stand will be?
Looks like this case is for folks with hard wear situations only. No sure how appropriate it will be for normal use. Thoughts?
i do believe it's on the thick side. as most of the outterbox cases are. they sometime makes lighter version. but i mean for what i spend on this baby, i'll want to get the best jacket for her. it will keep her safe from everything, weather to falls. even the dog. lol
MobileCityOnline.com is taking preorders at 69.99 and have a in stock date of 05/06 listed. Think I'll pass on the rooCASE now that I know when the otterbox will ship.

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.

Wish I'd seen this yesterday. I ordered the same case from Amazon for $19.95, but I still need to claim my ebates signup bonus. I'll post a review when it comes in tomorrow.
From what I've seen, this is identical to the Marware case but with fake leather on the lid instead of fabric.
Edit: and I'll never find out. Ordered with Prime early last week, and the seller hasn't shipped yet according to UPS. Cancelled my order and I'll probably buy the Marware instead.
Yeah, it looks just like my Marware case, which I love btw!

Looks like the case a coworker has on thier ipad. hopefully it works as well
I got that case a week ago for 10$ with a coupon. It is disappointing and is not worth over 10$. Back case is molded plastic, front is thin and not too durable felt/leather(?) sandwich that folds back and sort of creates a stand. Bump it and it will fall. Very cheap quality.
the Marware case has no problem sticking to skins that i got from ebay also.. i bought 2 and put one of them around the glass but the other two are on the front and back of the case.. no problem sticking and looks cool... of course you have to take a razor and cut the seam out..
I have this case and so far I love it. Like many people have mentioned it's not the highest quality material but it gives great protection, is functional (love the stand), and looks pretty good. Not only that but it's half the price of the marware one! Would definitely recommend this.
After two orders, finally got one. If your primary use for the KF is to stand in landscape or lie flat on a desk, it's pretty good. The inner felt lining is a nice touch and the backshell fits great and feels solid.
If you do anything at all else with your KF, buy the Marware instead. Even if it's currently $20 more. The big difference between the two is that the Acase's lid doesn't fold all the way back, so you can't one-hand it anymore without the lid flapping around to the left. For my purposes, it's crap. Return'd.
Great deal!
From what I've read the Marware case can be laid down completely flat whereas the Acase has issues with that. They are both designed the same but I guess you get what you pay for. I have the Marware case because it was included in my gift. I'm glad I didn't get the Acase for myself though. That tiny issue would've drove my insane lol.
How does everyone like this case?
The plastic part holds the kindle very well. The flap however, leaves much to be desired. It doesn't close all the way, and doesn't fold behind the kindle properly. There's not enough fabric on the "hinge" so it won't fit flush.
It drives me crazy, and I hate it =P
I ordered both this case and the marware case. I will take pics of both and let you guys know the differences.

WOW these are cheap as....
One-handed use?
Can anyone who has received and started using their Blurex case please let me know how this case works one-handed? I can't tell if the cover will fold all the way over flat or not and it seems as if the clasp piece may make it awkward to hold on the left hand side. Any pictures of it fully opened would be a huge help!
Thanks in advance!

,I have the vipertek case, same exact case different name. It lays back flat when open. The clasp sticks out but imho it helps your hand steady it easier when using one handed, either hand feels good different ways of holding but comfortable. Don't have camera or would get a picture.
Thought I'd start one up. What have you guys seen or ordered?
Spigen's got some stuff on Amazon already.
Ultra Hybrid

I have the aramid Samsung case on the way. Might get the Ultra Hybrid or Thin Fit just to have the front part of the case.
None of them will be here by September 18th though. I'm hoping the shipping dates will get moved up soon.

Worried about that myself so ordered a dbrand skin.
I'm not normally a skin guy but it's better then nothing on this 2k device.
I'm just not a fan of the Samsung ones with them only covering the back
yeah i wish they had some cases. I need something to give the screen a slight lift so it doesn't make surface contact etc.
i hope spigen moves up their times.
I'm going to order the aramid cover. Like you guys, I want to protect it a bit while other cases come out. I'm definitely going to leave the plastic screen protector on the front display until something suitable comes out
Clear Spigen?
I went to order the Spigen Ultra Hybrid on Amazon.
I'd like a crystal-clear version as I've used for the last couple of Note phones, but presently the title of the listing is "Matte Black" and the visual render looks like black.
On the other hand, the description says: "Crystal clear transparency flaunts original phone design".
I think this listing needs work, and hopefully they will soon have a Crystal version.
Links to Amazon are in the US
I am interested in this one for those of us in the UK o r Europe:

Reasonable price too.

The Spigen Ultra Hybrid cases have been around for a while. They are made with a matte colored TPU bumper around the edges and the back portion is a clear polycarbonate. Had the render used the bronze Z Fold 2 it would be much more apparent.
Link to the Note 20 Ultra version for comparison. Check the other pictures and you can see how it would look on a bronze or white phone.

Thanks for the link. I ordered the official Aramid case from Samsung, as I usually opt for Spigen with the stands, but the lack of protection for other parts of the phone is worrying. I'm not sure I could use the case you've opted for though as I like to be able to glance the screen. It will be interesting to see how that one works as in how does it hold when the screen is folded open. is it held in place magnetically or does it flap about.
They have a couple of extra options at the site, for anyone UK/EU side, though the prices for the official cases are higher than getting direct from Samsung, especially if you use the 10% off code at Samsung.

Yeah the Samsung cases are stupidly priced, the leather ones are retailed at a staggering £80 ($105) for what is just a small flimsy back cover. Why are they blatantly ripping its consumers off?
The cover in the link I posted, is also genuine leather and it protects the whole phone including the screen. I have always bought covers rather than bumper cases as the screen is the most important part of the phone. I can't imagine how expensive it would be to replace the front screen! Anyway it does use magnets to hold itself together. I have seen other pics of it elsewhere and it looks really good. And at less than half the price of the Samsung one, I ordered it. I will let you know what it's like when I get it.

I am always amazed at how pricey the cases are from Samsung and then how cheaply made they are. I bought the wallet case for my note 20 ultra and the camera protection is non existent as well as the top and bottom are exposed. They wanted $60 for that pos
This case should be even less since it's just one piece but Samsung figure you'll spend it because you put 2k on a device.
I almost feel like Samsung is punishing us for affording an expensive device. "Oh you have all this money to spend on a device? Well I am going make you over pay for the cases"
I’ve been tempted to get the Aramid case but for the price may just get a leather wallet when they become available in the US. Hopefully there will be a few options to choose from.
Anyone found one for delivery for the 18th? Everything is months away...

I ordered the Aramid case from Samsung at the same time I ordered the phone and it will be delivered at the same time as my phone on the 15th before 10:30am
Admittedly the case will likely only be a temporary one for me and I will be grabbing something more suitable when available. Hopefully Spigen will have something out soon, as I like their cases with kickstands, but in the meantime the Aramid will be fine as I am working from home until the end of December at least and due to health I don't go out much so it will be fine.
Well, I put off ordering a case because.. well, I was just waiting to see if any new cases would pop up anywhere. Lo and behold, Samsung are sold out of the Aramid and the leather in brown and black. You can currently, as of 9/9, only purchase the green leather one.
I'm confused, why didn't Samsung make more? Ugh
Anyone know when Spigen cases will come to UK? This is the first time not seeing a link to a page on Amazon UK for it before the phone is out
I took a chance on the flip case cover from Araree in Korea. Was as expensive as the official Samsung cases but at least offers wallet type protection. Hopefully they ship closer to the 22nd.
$54 total from eBay.
