What are other folks using/thinking about using for Xoom schlepping? I'm looking for suggestions.

Oh, that is beautiful. My current laptop bag is SwissGear, and it's the best piece of luggage I've ever owned. I didn't realize they sold sling packs.
I use my old N64 bag. Holds the Xoom charger just in case and my wii motes for Snesoid.
I'll probably just use my Swiss Gear backpack. It has a spot for my laptop which will probably work great for my XOOM as well, plus it has tons of pockets for cables and the charger. No Murse for me.
Swiss gear carry on bag is good. You can find them at Target.
The best "man bag" I've seen/used is the Tumi T-Tech Empire Deco Cross Bodyhttp://www.ebags.com/product/tumi/deco-cross-body/145382?productid=10106843&sourceID=GOOGFEED&couponid=95202659&CAWELAID=581326054
I recently flew to Europe and needed a small comfortable bag to carry my Ipad and other chargers/spare battery/passport/etc. This bag was perfect in that role.
I've tested and the Xoom with portfolio case fits just fine.
I just ordered a timbuk2 "classic messenger bag" extra small off amazon. Looks like terrific quality and reviews seem to indicate that as well. Just hope extra small still looks more like a messenger bag and not like a purse ;-)

Empire red/ graphite/ empire red (this was the cheapest: $35 free shipping... looked good enough to me )

Yea SwissGear is great. I can fit my Xoom (in the portflio case) and the charger with plenty of room for extras.
I am looking at the targus city gear 10.2 inch net book case. Any reason I shouldn't go for it?

Which one? I've researching them hard core since purchasing the xoom, and took a liking to the timbuk2 brand in particular...
I have been wanting a murse type of bag as well. I don't have a Xoom yet I am waiting on the wifi only version.
I am wondering if this bag would be large enough for the Xoom. A bit pricey but definitely manly! I have seen this mfg stuff in person and it sure looks durable, just haven't gotten to look at this version of the bag.

Check out the Patagonia Atom. It's my MURSE of choice.

I'm been using http://www.cocooninnovations.com/product_info.php?cat_id=50&product_id=172
for quite a while. The zip part is at the bottom, which is a little weird at first. But it's very lightweight and comes with a neat removable grid it organizer.
Also fits most 13" laptops easily.

I bought the one at target aswell its the swiss sling, Fits the xoom nicely in the main part of the bag. A little tight on the back pocket which still fits and the one I like to use.
its not a purse. its a satchel, Indiana Jones has one.
for unique/hipster bags there's always etsy
I picked it up at BB, it's an Incase Nylon Sling Sleeve for MacBook Pro 13". I like that it has room for not only my Xoom, but also the keyboard, a few cables, and even a few file folders. It has handles that tuck away if you want to, as well as a nice padded shoulder strap. Just got it yesterday, but I think it will work out great!
Now tied in with Sugarsync and the new Quickoffice Pro HD, I have ALL my work files everywhere I go!
How much was it looks great
Great job. You took all the right pictures. Incase makes fantastic products. Their only problem is they mostly cater to apple.

Just bought the bag. Best buy online has it on sale for 47.99. Had to make the store price match it.

I feel like there's too much room in that bag for the Xoom. Is that true? Like... will the Xoom slide around or anything inside of it? Also, what kind of case do you have on the Xoom?
The pocket where you'd put the Xoom is a little bigger, but not much. It does not slide around cause of the thick felt padding it has. Feels very secure.
The way the bag is made keeps it from "sliding" around, it is larger than the xoom (a file folder fits in there perfectly), but no excessively so. I think it works, for now, until something Xoom specific hits the market!
Nice Find atoy74! I paid like $60 for mine, but had some Reward Zone money so didn't pay that much out of pocket. I know they have it on Amazon too.
Oh yeah the shoulder strap is long enough to use the bag like a messenger bag too!

Do you guys think that this case would fit the xoom? The iPad 2 dimensions are 241.3 mm(h) x 185.67mm (w) and the xoom is 249.1mm (h) x 167.1mm (w). The case is made for the iPad 2 camera to fit in the right places, but do you guys think that the xoom would fit in like an iPad 2 sleeve? Let me know your ideas.

I bought it in store, for 30 but will be going back today to get my 15 dollar refund, it is super nice to get me by until a good portfolio case comes out.
i got the $15 HP case in store at Best Buy Tuesday night. Not bad, little too big for my taste (I used to have a very snug iPad case that I LOVED)
Wanted something to protect my nexus 7 while traveling or sticking it on my backpack. I just got this from amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0071N5NS8/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It a semi-hard case that flexes but still provides a decent amount of protection. I can even carry the charger and a few other items if I so desired.
It has two small "pillows" that can be adjusted via Velcro. They are usually used to place in the sides of the device to hold it in place, butI palced on on each side of the case to give a little added protection to both sides. I'll try it like that and for a bit. Because of the way I'm using the "pillows" I have place it in the corner so it doesn't press against my Nexus 7, at that might not be good it I dropped it of it took a blow.
I'm expecting a case to arrive soon, it should still fit fine as this case it quite roomy.
Pics attached. It gives me peace of mind, as I have damaged items that where in my bag or backpack unprotected. and at under $15 I think it well worth the investment.
That's too much for me IMO . I prefer something slim and has a stand .but thanks for posting !I'm sure a lot of people on here looking for something similar .

Well, it's not meant to be an everyday case. Just something to offer extra protection when I plan to throw it into a bag or backpack then traveling adorns.
I'm expecting a slim case for everyday use.
Anyone had there hands on it. Thinking about checking one out

I preordered this back in August and finally got it from the mail this week, the build quality of the case is OK, except there's a problem with its magnets. At certain standing positions, the magnets would interfere with the smart cover receptor and shut off the screen when I don't want it to do so. I contacted the seller and got a replacement today, which does the same thing as the original product. Well....for $5, can't complain much.
It looks nice and I don't use the stand much and been looking for a soft touch case. Does it ad a lot of bulk like some of the people complain about?

If you don't use it as a stand, this case would fit your need. :good::good:
It's very slim and the soft touch feels great.
Thanks I'm gonna buy one and see how I like it

I have both Poetic and this Roocase.
The Roocase's front cover is thinner --> flimsy.
Roocase still has a magnet issue --> turns off tablet when folded back.
I think you should spend a few more $$ for the Poetic.
I have the poetic right now and hate it since it feels so cheap from the fake leather material they used. Really prefer the soft touch. Just ordered it will let you know how I like it lol.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
I just received mine yesterday. Overall, the case feels extremely nice - especially the softback material. The cover is thin, but that's okay for me since it does not add bulk and it allows the cover to fold in many ways.
I've only noticed the magnets activate standby on the tablet when it is in one certain position (not folded behind). It's not something I am worried about because there's no reason for me to orient the tablet in such way.
It's an extremely thin case that's definitely worth $5 if you do not get one that has the magnet issues.
I have the LTE model.
I spent half an hour with a dremel tool to modify it to permit changing the SIM card without removing the tablet from the RooCase.
I am generally pleased with it, but I think the corner protection is substandard.
The corner protection does not go all the way up to the top of the tablet.
Regards
I figure as long as it sticks out more than the tablet around the edge it's nothing to worry about on a flat surface. And as was said the thin cover wouldn't be a problem since it doesn't add bulk and if your not too rough with it it won't be a problem lol. One question though is the magnet right on the edge of the cover? Amazon pics weren't great

Well just got mine today and the difference is night and day. This feels so much more premium its not even funny and yeah magnit can be an issue but not a big deal I'll just throw some aluminum foil between the case and device. It doesn't creak or squeel and it doesn't feel cheaper than dirt. Love this case

if you have issues with the magnets in the case turning your screen on and off in various positions, you can disable the magnet wake feature using Elemental kernel (assuming your rooted) or you can contact the seller and they will send you a free replacement ( supposedly tested by them to be working properly) I got my replacement a few days ago but I guess I've been to lazy to reflash the kernel and select the magnet wake option to ON and verify
I don't really have issues with it since I don't use the stand much. Fantastic case though

There is a huge thread about this case already. It is a nice case. I got mine in the other day. I haven't used it yet but I like it better then my Moko. It looks and feels better.

I have this case, don't recommend
I purchased this case when I had my Nexus 7 on order, It took three weeks to arrive. In the meantime I got the Poetic Slimline also. After receiving the rooCase, I immediately noticed the poor fit and rough edges on the case. I also noticed the same issues with the magnets as some of the other people. Bottom line I would not recommend this case at all as it does not work well and is of poor quality.
Try ands see if you can't get a replacement mine was fantastic and fits better than the poetic case.

Dang, that's really an extreme solution. People shouldn't have to mod their kernels just to adapt to a poorly designed accessory.
Its not really an issue since it doesn't stand like the regulate cases since its the oragami and works just fine like that.

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:

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)
