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
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
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.

http://dx-box.com/nillkin-ultra-slim-smart-shell-stand-case-for-google-nexus-7-fhd-2013-2nd-gen.html
I've loved the Nillkin cases I purchased for my phones (One X, One X+ and now SGS 4).
Tempted to purchase but still waiting on the cheaper cases I bought on Amazon before I pull the trigger.
$19.99 seems a little expensive. Does it has the smart cover function?
Looks nice and it has all the smart features...

Looks no different from the Moko or Poetic which cost less than ½ the cost.
I suspect the quality of the Nillkin materials are much better

In fact, I have. For my old (now sold) Nexus 7 2012.
Other than the markings there was no discernable difference between that and my friends' Poetic and iBlason(IIRC) cases. Both of which holding up nicely after a year's time.
Unless this N7 2013 case is different, I'll stick by my assessment.
Basically, you spend your money, and make your choice... :thumbup:
Most likely this one and the others that look like this are probably close to the same. As someone said in a different thread they buy them in bulk from somewhere and apply the companies branding.

Not uncommon, in fact, very common.
If you order a few hundred units, they'd put YOUR name on them. In nice, hot stamped, pseudo gold leaf even...
I must agree that there is great difference on the overall feel and materials of the Nillkin.
I have the poetic slimline and the moko already, and gladly shelled the $16 for one from eBay just now.
I had the Nillkin for my now gifted to nephews' OG 7, and knowing all brands I was really waiting for it.

Does it have magnet to hold the cover tight when closed?
Does it have magnet to maintain the triangle shape when folded as the stand?
No and no, just the auto wake/sleep feature I believe

I bought and received this case (from Taobao to Hong Kong)
I don't have the device with me at the moment so I will take pictures tonight with it in the case.
Initial impressions are that the leather is very soft and the back cover is made in very high quality (leather wrapped around the plastic shell) and see no exposed plastic bits. Furthermore the "baseball" stitching on the cover is very nicely done, and very pliable with no stiffness.
Will update with fitment and auto sleep/wake tonight!

UPDATE: fitment is good and cut outs are accurate. Speaker grilles are properly cut and quality of the case is insane against the 11USD value. Must buy given the current case selection on the market. The case is light weight and made of very thick "leather".
The only minor quibble I have with the case is that the magnet doesn't keep the flap closed completely. Auto sleep/wake occurs without fault with a 1 second delay. (standard among cases). Finally the "Nillkin" logo is not very prominent making this a very stealthy case.
Rating: 8/10
Price is now $15.89 on dx-box.com. Also noticed they have a white version and it seems there are also Red and Grey version elsewhere.
Does anyone know if this will fit a 2013 model or is it 2012? It doesn't say anywhere in the description.

2012. no camera hole the back upper-left.
I have this case for my Nexus 7 first gen, and I love it, except that the front cover edge has started to split. Hard to explain, I'll try and get a pic, but basically the outer layer and the inner micro-fibre layer are coming apart at the outside seam. I'm looking for a similar case for my 2013 N7, not sure if I'd get the Nillkin again based on the previous experience.
I went to Seidio's site today to see what their progress on cases for the Nexus 5 look like and found that they have their holder page up with all of the usual cases there. Everything is showing as "Under Development" but the prices are up at least.
http://www.seidioonline.com/LG-Google-Nexus-5-s/9164.htm
You can go to another phone's section and get an idea of what the cases look like. I am personally looking for a ruggedized case with a holster and a kickstand, so far it looks like the absence of Otterbox (just like the Nexus 4) means that Seidio might be the only option.
no battery case
hmm i wonder if that damn metal kickstand (which uses magnets) will interfere with wireless charging

Doubtful, the official charger that is due to hit the play store sometime utilizes magnets to hold the N5 in place with the metal discs in the N5. Magnets can impact the compass and such, but not wireless charging.

A battery or an Obex case are the only things I would consider frrom Seidio.
Gah! Where's the Convert?
well after doing a bit of research it seems that the N5 cases under development are very similar to their Nexus 4 cases, and their N4 cases work perfectly with wireless charging. so all there is to do now is wait patiently...
well i guess there's no chance of a november release at this point...
You can still click the links even though there is no product picture up and they state whether the phone can use NFC and or wireless charging on each product. Also the convert is there, a couple of them. I have an email in asking when they might release but no answer yet.
I'm not sure if alot of you know this - but this company has a partnership with bestBuy where they sell the exact same cases under the "platinum series" brand. The fine print on the packaging even says seidio on it and they are roughly HALF the price.
So be on the lookout for these new cases at BestBuy for less cash :laugh:
one troubling thing i noticed is that on their site they still list LG G2 cases as "under development". The G2 was released ~50 days BEFORE the Nexus 5. if THAT's still under development, i'd say the odds of us seeing the N5 cases before 2014 are not great. seems like seidio really screwed up with the timing of this release...
They now have the cases on the website, sent them an enquiry about them working with the wireless chargers and they said that they don't
I wonder if its because of the metal kickstand.

keeping my fingers crossed, I have the i Blason but unfortunately the fit and finish just isn't very good.
Seidio is really pushing for the kickstand.
Dilex and Surface NOW SHIPPING!
I just went to the Seidio web site and the Nexus 5 Surface and Dilex cases/holsters are listed as NOW SHIPPING. I absolutely LOVE Seidio's Convert case for my Galaxy Nexus - it was a big step up from the Otterbox Defender. I'm certainly going to try either the Dilex or Convert (when it's available), but I'm not liking the idea of a kick stand adding to the bulk of the case.
just got my surface combo. the kickstand adds zero bulk. the case is super thin and super light. makes the i-blason i was using kind of brick-like. and wireless charging works just fine, as i suspected

I had those 2 models with my HTC One. The first one, the leather stitching started fraying a week after use. The 2nd one, the clasp fell out after a month or so. I am looking for something high quality. I dont mind paying along the price of the book-book.

There is also that, I dont expect to see much really high quality cases though. Nexus dont have near the market share of iPhone/Galaxy lines.
Check out the Watson Folio cases by Incipio. Hopefully they'll roll one out.
Tuff-luv made a nice looking brown leather case for the Nexus 4, so hopefully they'll do the same here.
And maybe Spigen will do a "Slim Wallet" design for the Nexus 5.
Protenzo makes some really nice cases.
They are working on the nexus 5 cases now. No eta though, otherwise i have the nerd herder gadget wallet which is nice. Its a little thick but nice.

Tuff-luv told me in an email that they expect to have stock by the end of November. On Twitter, it's the end of December.
In the meantime, I've ordered:

and, because I'm travelling next week and the Poetic won't be delivered in time, this:

I also considered the Ringke Delight/Discover from Amazon - again, it wouldn't be delivered before I travel.

It does have 3 5* reviews though.... Shame it is in the UK and not in the US. Oh well, the one I bought will be here on Tuesday.
What I do minimize the wear and tear on flip/wallet cases is to use voice announce and shake call. No need to open the case as often.
I have the ringke nexus 4 case... Not real leather and decayed badly in less than 12 months... Tempted to buy it again, remove the plastic holder, find a leather wallet and make my own.
How hard is it for these guys to make brackets and simply stick them on a genuine leather wallet?
Has anyone found a wallet case that doesn't have the flip/cover? I've been searching for one similar to an iphone case and it just seems that case makers aren't making them non-iphones

Cost....
People are usually happy buying $10-$15 cases. Real leather in a case would shoot the price up north of $30 and there just aren't a lot of buyers at that price range (relatively speaking).
As to other cases, I did get a reply from Zenus (http://izenus.com/) and they are planning a Nexus 5 case for early December.

I want something as close to the iPad Smart Case as possible: super-thin, able to function as a stand, but with the auto-wake functionality. Any suggestions?

I am also using the Poetic Slimline. Very happy with it. Auto-wake, miracast with PTV3000 and wireless charging with Lugulake all work properly when using this case.

I bought the Nillkin V Series because it was the sleekest case I could find. It fulfills the two conditions in the thread title, but the stand function seems a bit unstable.
I take that thing everywhere and it's been holding up quite well.
People have been talking about the Mofi case lately, but it's only available in green, orange, brown and teal (which Mofi laughingly calls blue).
The brown version is only available on ebay.
The new cases by Seido are also worth a look -- though if you want one, you might want to wait for a sale.

MoKo case and I'm very pleased
I got the MoKo when it first came out, shortly after I got the N7. I've been very happy with it, the tablet is held firmly, but can be removed without a lot of force. I have another very similar case that holds the tablet so tight that I'm concerned when I try to remove it (I've decided to use that one for a car mount system I'm building as I know there's no chance it will fall out!) The smart on/off works great and the cover stays closed with magnets also. It took me a little while to get the bend lines to flex properly so that the stand functions worked, but after a few days it has been no problem. It still looks new after 4 months, no frayed edges, it goes with me everywhere, everyday. It's got to be one of the best cases I've ever had (no I don't work for the company, nor do any friends or relatives).

Brown is normally a low-key color, but Mofi outlines it in white, which makes it look garish.
I liked the orange case best myself but wish the surrounding plastic were black.
Still, the few people who own both the MoKo and Mofi cases and post here have claimed the Mofi is noticeably better made.
How are the magnets on your MoKo -- does the cover stay closed if you hold it upside down? Does the stand stay in place? I've read good things about those features.
Google released their official case yesterday on play store.

Just purchased and "put on" the rooCASE Origami Slimshell. It's got a polycarbonate shell back and a light flap (which turns on/off the unit) which can be "folded" to support the unit in landscape or portrait mode. I have a Nexus 7 (2012) I'm about to sell on which I used both the Speck Fitfolio and an Incipio unir. I preferred the Speck because of its clasp, but I understand that the Speck version for the Nexus FHD 2013 doesn't have the magnet for on/off ability.
If you want slim, take a look at the rooCASE. With the case on the unit is still just about a half inch thick.

The magnet is very good but the stand is a bit stiff even after using it for months and months on end so it doesn't always stay in but that's a minor inconvenience, but for the most part it works fine even when the stand comes out it still tends to stay in the same spot so I'm not really disappointed.

What's odd about the Play Store's specs for the black, gray/red, white/red and blue/red Nexus 7 2013 cases is that no mention is made of the kinds of materials used or whether there are magnets. What's odd about the ad copy is that no mention is made of features other than the fit's being exact.
I wouldn't want to spend $50 on a case for a $270 device -- even a white 32GB N7 (2013) -- but I'd be especially reticent not knowing if the interior was real or synthetic leather or the exterior, real fabric -- let alone whether the cover would actually stay closed.

I wouldn't want to spend $50 on a case for a $270 device -- even a white 32GB N7 (2013) -- but I'd be especially reticent not knowing if the interior was real or synthetic leather or the exterior, real fabric -- let alone whether the cover would actually stay closed.

The Google cover has no magnets anywhere. The gray is a denim-like fabric and the other two felt like synthetic leather to me. All the colors smell horrible.
Don't buy the official Google case.
I've owned 2 first Gen N7s and the Moko has been by far my favorite case - has anyone used both on the Gen 2 and can offer any opinions?

MoKo case has been excellent both function AND value
I use MoKo for Nexus 7 (2013), iPad mini, and iPad Air. It has been outstanding for ALL tablets in a variety of environments. It fits snugly, all ports and holes line up nice and square. Wireless charging perfect. The price <$20 incl. shipping.. (The Apple Air case is almost $90, MoKo gets the job done for under $20 shipping incl. I'd buy a MoKo in a heartbeat for my HP TouchPad if I could locate one. I have about half a dozen other cases for different usages, but the MoKo is on %90 of the time. GOOD STUFF!
