otterbox defender case!

Just browsed around Otterbox's site and boom! They finally have the defender case! It won't come cheap at $90
www.otterbox.com/MOTOROLA-XOOM-Defe...OM1_color=20&start=1&cgid=motorola-xoom-cases
this will have a built in kick stand; so as soon as I deal with the whole sending the Xoom to get upgraded and such, then I plan to get this ultimate case since the whole point of having this one is to take it on a road and definitely make some usage as a hotspot device.

That's exactly what I'm looking for! Awesome!!

I saw this in action at CTIA today, had great construction as usual Otterboxes, but I have these issues with it...
1) No 'folder' style for 'front' protection when in a briefcase/etc.
2) they didn't address the poor charger location by allowing a prop up
It's a great product if you like the open face style, but IMO, when storing it during travels - a screen protector isn't always enough. Personally- I'll hold out for a folio with an integrated KB.
I saw one distributer that had a magnetic bluetooth keyboard with folio; it fit the xoom perfectly. Unfortunately he didn't sell direct. He's looking for a bulk purchase and will let me know what reseller he finds. I'll post more info in a seperate thread when that happens.

I thought the outer layer (with the stand) can be taken out and attached to the front? That should cover the screen during travelling.

Me no like, too bulky and hard - its not a phone for christs sake!
Xoom is more of a laptop with its weight and size... and how often have you dropped your laptop?

Now that's what I've been waiting for! Please keep me in the loop!

Are guys going to get it now or wait till after the hardware upgrade?

Hm..
Well, My Xoom needs protection just as much protection now as it will after the LTE upgrade. My vote goes to getting it when its released.

Ah there's a youtube video on a prototype of the case.
Should answer some of your questions.

I'm actually more interested in details about the portfolio with the keyboard (I know this thread is about the Otterbox but the news got me excited)

Contactless charger

Any news about when they will be available?

No offical announcemnt yet but i am waiting for this as well. the verizon website does now list list an inductive back plate though here a link:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?&action=accessoryDetails&accessoryId=47423
I wonder if this would be compatible with one of those powermats. also i was looking and the back plate for the evo looks almost identical to the TB one, so i wonder if the powermat kit for the evo would in turn work for our TBs, any one know if any of this would work?

I've noticed the bump in the cover, almost like the extended battery one. That will be a problem because of cases and docks, kind of disappointing.

If it's anything like palm's efforts, a case would thwart the inductive charging process anyway.

Powermat Wireless Back Almost here!

I'm not about the wireless mods or shady paypal deals. I was looking at powermat today and they FINALLY posted about the wireless charging back for the S3. Here is the direct link. It does have a price listed, but it is not searchable to find a retailer selling it yet. Hopefully we are very close!

Edit: taking a better look at the case, I find myself disappointed. This doesn't appear to be a replacement battery cover, rather one of the old style case covers. Essentially plugging into the USB slot at the bottom and holding the charging essentials outside of the actually phone.

Thats fat!

Cool! Thanks for posting that.

that one is fat, and connects at the usb port, not at the two pins near the battery

Yeah that's why I put it in my post. I'm surprised considering s
Samsung and powermat joined up and powermat has that snack NFC replacement charging option coming.

Took a chance and ordered one of these puppies on the day it was released. Arrived today and it is a piece of crap. Very hard to get the phone in the case and then when I tried to remove it, the case immediately cracked. Stay far away from this one.

Official Google cover, who got it? (the black one)

Could you give me some shots ? I especially interested in the black one..still can't decece between the Asus Premium Cover, and this one.
Thank's.

I got the Asus Premium Cover free with my tablet and I am not very impressed with it. Its got no sleep/wake functionality and there is nothing stopping the case from coming open by its self. I am still looking for an alternative as I like how thin it is with this case fitted.
I haven't seen/used the official google one, so I can't comment on that one.
Google need to seriously sort out the availability of decent official accessories, IMO the Google and Asus cases for this device are not good enough, the QI charger for the nexus 4 was never sold through the play store in my country.

My doubts about the ASUS one, is, that it not covers the sides, as much, as the Google one, and it looks weird, and not secure at all, how good does it holds and fits the device anyway? I mean, there many cases like that, for other devices, but even the "Tri-cover" by ASUS for they tablets range, looks and designed the same way, as one for Nexus 7, so I think, they know what they do. Another concern, I can't find an answer, about compatibility of the Nexus Wireless Charger, and the official Google Cover for nexus 7, on other hand, the ASUS cover is 95% efficient in charging by wireless chargers.

I just got the gray/red and its nice. Although it does not have the auto sleep/wake feature there is a free app that takes care of that concern.
I used to have a poetic which was much cheaper but i found the edges on the flip cover wearing from daily use.

[Q] anyone got the Qi charging quick circle folio case?

I just got mine. And it doesn't seem to charge when put on a Qi pad.
Anyone got one and have it working properly?
(and yes I do know mine is a charging back; has the little contact points and all.)
Contacted LG and they said that there is no compatible quick circle folio case for the G4. And that is it a Verizon market scheme to get you to buy their stuff. I told them about all the official LG stuff on the box (including ORIGINAL LG accessory hologram). Amazing...

I have one from Korea. It might be a knock off but it had the hologram sticker. Charging works fine but I am having some random reboots since I put it on. And the phone is not waking up when I open the case and double tap to wake is fussy. Going to put on my leather on and see if the problem goes away. Between this and Lg screwing me on the promo for the US because I bought an international phone this thing might be on Swappa shortly. Feeling a little but hurt.

Yeah I got a free Quickcircle case with my phone, but it also doesn't work with Qi ><
Infuriating useless conflicting standards...... BETAMAX WAS BETTER DAMN IT!!!

And you got the official LG one that supports wireless charging? Which carrier do you have?

I think there are several cases out there. Some support the wireless charging, and some don't.
But if it doesn't you'll just need to buy the qi sticker to replace it.

Can I cut the front part of this circle case and put the back door on an existing case?

I have the Verizon G4. I bought the QuickCircle Folio with Powermat+NFC for AT&T models on eBay, thinking that it might work as-is, or else I could swap out the sticker to make it work with Qi. It turns out that it works on my Tylt Qi charger right out of the box! http://www.ebay.com/itm/151704461178

I got those wireless stickers to finally work. Look for that main thread for my fix.

Is anyone else having problems with there folio case. I took mine off and battery life came back, tap to wake works and no more random reboots on my H815 SEA version.

It is official LG, and it doesn't work with my Qi charger (Tylt Vu) which still works fine with my Nexus 5.
I did not buy this from a carrier, it's the H818P
