hey everyone I currently have XOOM Motorola folio case but I find it to be heavy and kind of thick.
It's do hard to pick out a case while browsing the internet cuz I can't feel it in my hands to see if I like it...can anybody help me with some recommendations?
I'm looking for something Leather, in the same style as the XOOM Motorola folio case (meaning the same openings) but maybe a little bit lighter or thinner would be awesome...i don't want to sacrifice the feeling of protection that I get from the folio case tho...
Any suggestions would be really appreciated!

Just a quick comment but I've tried a few cases and always gone
back to the Motorola folio case. It is a little bulkier than some cases
however it's also helped my Xoom survive drops to concrete floors on
more than one occasion From the cases I've tried none offers the
same level of protection, at the same price point.
I was running into the same problem when chosing a case online. I ended up testing some cases in a local store and decided to get the official portfolio case and I really love it.
I would second that other, less "bulky" cases don't offer the same level of protection. For a case that I can throw into my bagpack and doesn't leave me worrying about my Xoom getting damaged, I think the Portfolio case is rather slim, compared to heavy-protection alternatives like the Otterbox defender.
But if you don't really need that level of protection, you could the try the AYL Slim Leather case, which gets some pretty good reviews in here:

Zoo-Gue Xoom Case
I got this case shortly after getting my xoom, and LOVE it. great protection, doesn't add much bulk, you can prop it up at ANY angle, and it's inexpensive. I really like the fact that you can angle it however you want, so you're not limited to a preset 3 angles. when you want to throw it in your bag, the back can flip around to cover the screen, and the velcro straps will keep it in place. I like everything about it.

Best Buy would only have the Motorola Folio case. They don't have any other options for Xoom other than slip cases.

What difference of Acase Slim Leather Folio Case and Original motorola case ?
I bought a cheap leather folio case from ebay. It was in the bin 2 days later as it offered little to no protection except maybe from fingerprints and looked horrible. I must admit the one you saw on amazon looks nice, but I feel happier knowing that the motorola one is more sturdy.

I have this case and absolutely love it! It's thin, durable, and it "carries" very well. I recommend it.
check this it's .. good case with perfect price and nice one

i am currently using this one. http://www.myincipio.com/Motorola-X...CRYLIC-Hard-Shell-Case-with-Silicone-Core.asp
the feel, build and quality are brilliant!
they also have a leather version case for the xoom, you could try that.
the price might be a bit steep comparing to other products i have seen on amazon, but the brand promises and delivers quality.
i also have a case for my hd2 from them, best i ever had!
I've gone for this one as it seems to get great reviews

Ordered this case today Motorola Xoom Tablet Leather Folio Case Cover White
Seems decent for the price.
I got the Belkin Verve for Xoom. Love it, very compact and firm fitting but seems I may have bought the last available from Amazon as has now disappeared. Highly recommend if you can find one.

I got 2 of these for both my Xooms.
They are heavy, but well worth the protection. Makes your Xoom look and feel like an M1 tank. It has survived drops onto the street and kept my Xoom in perfect shape.
Has a nice shell cover that snaps to the back and acts as a stand.

My biggest issue with other XOOM cases is that most don't accommodate for the charging port. This one you just lay flat, and plug it in.

I have this case, it is awesome and has held up extremely well.
What is about Viva Motorola XOOM Carbono for Xoom. Anyone give me suggestion?
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

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:

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.

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.

That would have been me.... :beer:
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.
FYI, I just found this link....If anybody interest... it cost $89 dollar....

Had one of these for my nexus 10 and nexus 4. Good quality. Only issue i had is i had to bend the pieces on the side where it folds out to be a stand...had to bend those back a few times. Also my bending caued them to marr the surface of the nexus a little bit, but not noticiable. Sold both devices...thinking about getting a gPad and was seeing what kinds of accessories were out there.

I am using poetic slimline case from amazon and couldnt be happier.
You need to be a lot more specific then that.
Do you want a smart cover? Something rugged? A stand that supports portrait and/or landscape? A keyboard?...
Draw up a list of features you want then hunt down options to fill the criteria. If you find something there is almost certainly a review in the accessories section so do a search.
I have 2 cases for mine. A smart cover with folding front from eBay and a minisuit "aluminium" style keyboard. I swap them depending on my plans for that day.

Love my Moko case!
Hey,
I love my Moko case! http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Google-N...ll&keywords=Moko+Nexus+7+2013+genuine+elather It has three positions you can fold in into without removing the tablet so you can use it on a desk or surface of any height. The auto-off/on magnetic cover works flawlessly and it has easy access to all the buttons and usb/headphone ports etc.
I bought the genuine leather one which is only a bit more then a regular Moko case and I am quite pleased with it.
If you buy it from Amazon (I love Amazon!) they have a really good return policy and when my first Moko had an issue they paid return shipping with a printed label for me to send it back. Even though the issue was my fault with the first case Amazon still honored the warranty too.
The only thing I wish was different is the inside is not black like the leather but a dark gray colour. I understand it is probably not a good idea to have a leather inner lining as it might damage the screen but it would be nice if the entire case was black including the inside of the case.
Hope this helps.
Peace. .
P.S. From what I've read in the forums about cases is it's pretty much a choice between the Poetic Slimline or the Moko.
If you have the money to spend - the official Folio looks pretty nice.

I have a Poetic Slimline and absolutely love it. It has a hard plastic back and a really thin smart cover, so it's almost like not having a case on it at all. It works great with my wireless charger and also converts into a stand. I've even used it vertically, in stand mode, to record video. Overall, a very nice case. My Moko is sitting in my closet collecting dust.

I don't use a case at all so the N7 will easily fit in my pocket. I carry a Logitech Bluetooth tablet keyboard and stand in my briefcase. I don't use the keyboard that much but the stand comes in handy.

My recommendation is the Seidio Dilex case with multi-purpose lid which also acts as a stand. Its sexy and nice rubber inner cushion for those accidental drops.
