I'm torn between wanting to put a case on my HDX 8.9 and leaving it naked. I'd at least like to add a little bit of grip to the back, but I really don't want to add weight to it. It's just so perfectly light. Has anyone tried the vinyl skins that go over the back?

I'm looking for the thinnest case available for the vibrant. Hell, I wish there was just a backing replacement that was rubberized.
Does anyone else feel like the stock backs are way too slippery? I don't want this beautiful phone to go flying out of my hand, and it seems like you're playing air hockey if you tap it while it's sitting on a table. I love how thin this phone is, and i'd like to keep it that way.
I just got the Body Glove with the little chrome bezel and it's really nice but it makes it almost as think as my old G1. That kinda sucks...
I got this mesh case http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...547263&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_6529wt_911
It's pretty thin, and has solid feel in hand.
The polished or argyle TPU cases.

Damn I just noticed I posted this eight minutes after the "slimmest" case thread. Haha, looks like I'm not the only one.
I'm starting to think I should just wait and see if anyone makes a nicer case. This phone is so sleek and so far these cases just seem to muck it up. I'm returning the body glove, that chrome bezel is garbage, it chipped while I was removing it from my phone just using a quarter to pry it off like I'm supposed to. It also basically doubles the phones thickness.

How do we feel about this case? It looks like it's sturdy and should be awesome. I watched a few videos on the original iPad one, and well, they worked pretty swell and looked very, very nice. I feel as though this could be a definite purchase.
Does anyone have it and have opinions on it?
Not a big fan of any current leather cases for Xoom. All look kinda low quality and rough.
Honestly, I feel the same about all leather cases. I just haven't seen a good case with built in kick stand like any iPad case. This has the original case's design and I really like that idea. I wish it were a soft rubber instead of leather, but there's nothing I can do about that.
Just looked at the item. One thing I don't like is the plastic screen shield. I imagine it would collect and smash dust against the screen. I'd prefer it were open and use a screen protector, or not.
Just got this case in the mail. First there is no plastic cover for screen, that is a screen cover on the Xoom itself.
This case is really sturdy, feels great. Feels like real leather (advertised as real leather). The there are cutouts for everything., though when closed the lid blocks the charing cutout. When in standing mode, both orientations are great, the shallow one is perfect for typing (unlike the folio case from motorola) and the steep incline works well for movies(again unlike the folio the case). I got it for $16 + shipping and it is worth well more that the $40 case I got from motorola .
Hope someone can help out,
I have the Diztronic case, it had a ton of good reviews on Amazon, I like it a lot, adds little bulk, which I want, but still not as much "grip" as I'd like. I briefly had the Rocketfish, while it had good grip, the cover over the buttons made it difficult to push them, it's much better with the Diztronic. The Hyperion sounds like it has what I want, except some have mentioned that same issue with the buttons difficult to press. Been searching a ton trying to find something. Hate to spend another $10 plus $5 for shipping from Amazon to find out a case isn't what I expected.
Has anyone tried the Tudia case?
Thanks
Try this one:

I am currently using this case:
Search amazon for SUPCASE moto x, its the first one.
(sorry, cant post links yet)
The SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Hybrid case for Moto X:
It fits PERFECTLY and is pretty grippy on just the edges. The back is very matte and is perfect for sliding in your pocket and not sticking. It is pretty thin-doesn't add much bulk at all. It even has the dimple in it! (I love the dimple) The buttons are a little stiff at first, but i found they wear in after about 5 or 6 days, and become really easy to press. After about 2 weeks, you can actually feel the tactile click of the buttons easily. It also comes with a really nice screen protector (unfortunately mine had a crease in it when it arrived- caused a huge bubble so i took it off). For $14, this is better than the cases that Motorola sells on its website.

Thanks. It looks like it has a bit more bulk, I guess it's just the design that appears that way? I do want to keep it as bulk free as possible.
Wondering if anyone has tried the Hyperion, if it has good grip on the sides and back. Some posted the buttons are difficult to press, but I'd consider cutting out with an exacto knife over the buttons.
Just ordered the Hyperion case, sounds like what I'm looking for, slim, unbranded, and grippy on the sides with cutout for the dimple. Also comes with a screen protector, but I already have what I presume is superior (Armor Suit screen protector) I just haven't put it on yet

Yeah, the case is a tad bulky, but not so much that its bothersome. How is the Hyperion case? Im curious.
Also, i have the ArmorSuit screen protector, but i couldn't stand it when it was on- it really cut down on the quality of the screen, although I think i may have still had a little moisture in between. I just took it off. My case has raised edges, so im not too worried about scratches
Just got my new Kindle Fire HDX 7"for Christmas and am now looking to protect it. I want a good quality case, but don't want to add much weight as I enjoy to lightness of it. Has anyone tried the two of these cases and can recommend one over the other? I read the post for the Poetic and was on Amazon to buy it when I saw the rooCase which appears almost like a hybrid between the official Amazon origami case and the Poetic. My two criteria would simply be quality and weight. I did also like how the rooCase can stand the HDX in portrait mode in case I get lazy when reading and want to prop it up. Thanks for any help.

I have the RooCase Origami Slimshell for my HDX 8.9, but I had the Poetic Slimbook style instead of the Slimshell. The only plus the Poetic Slimbook had over the Roocase for me was the stylus hook, and even then it was in a poor location. I have since returned my Poetic case.
The RooCase Origami Slimshell is what I'm using right now. It is light, it is smaller than the Poetic Slimbook, and probably really close to the same size as the Poetic Slimshell. The magnetic closure holds tight even when I throw it in my backpack. The back shell doesn't attach magnetically the way the official origami case does, it has a very secure wrap around rubberized plastic frame that clips in place. No amount of shaking by myself or my rogue three year-old got it to fall out.
There is one problem with the RooCase that I've run into occasionally. When you wrap the front cover around flat to the back like you would for extended reading, it will sometimes put the device in sleep mode the same way it does when the cover is closed on the front. I'm guessing the magnet that controls that is just really strong and is affecting the device through the rear case panel. If it had a stylus hook, and didn't have that sporadic turning off flaw, this would be my dream case.
I chose this one because at the moment it's the only case I can find that will stand the HDX 8.9 up in portrait mode other than the official origami case. It does do the various stand positions very well. (You get 1 Portrait, 3 Landscapes, and 1 Typing position that are all very stable.) I even had it in portrait stand mode on a blanket on my lap and it didn't get wobbly. Build quality is really good. Mine is starting to pick up some "dirt" marks though. I have the purple color and there are some darker shadings starting to show around the fold lines in the front cover. (I have children who abscond with my Kindle who aren't as careful about clean hands first.)
Hope that helps you!

Recently picked up the roocase for HDX 8.9. I love it so far. I don't get the sleep issue you describe when folding the cover over. Seems like it works as it should.

So my nexus is to big for my hands to control it easy with one hand, something I prefer doing. One way of fixing it is if I would dare to just let it lay on my fingertops instead of wrapping my fingers around it.
However, because my current case is so smooth and I have very dry fingers, it easily slides off my hand if I would lay it on my fingers...
As the top URL shows, a cover with VERY sticky cover would be great for me. does anyone know of a cover like this for the nexus 5?
Maybe you should try "flygrip".
Or you could get a case with more grip? The Quicksand case for $2 shipped is not bad, and the Diztronic matte material is fairly grippy as well.
Cool thanks
I was just about to recommend flygrip as well.
