Pics included. It came with 2 plastic screen protectors.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...98967&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_4315wt_1137
Fits perfectly.
I bought the same one. Mine hasn't come yet. Yours looks great tho.
Nice case.
You might want to consider buying the proper screen protector for the vibrant.

I was just trying it out. I hate the feel of screen protectors - ended up taking it off after about an hour.
if you change your mind, try the one from realook. i just put mine on and it is amazing. can't even tell it's on there and it feels like the original glass screen.
Mine came in today (really quick might I add, only ordered last wednesday!) Mine looks exactly the same, except it doesn't have the cutout on the corner like yours.
I can't post the link, since I'm a new user, but look up the seller special_element on ebay.
Got mine today as well. Fast shipping! Still using the screen cover that it came with Maybe I should try the one that came with the case or the ClearFeak that just arrived as well.
How's the feel of the rubber? Is it tacky/sticky? Does it cling to your pocket?
I got this same case off of ebay, came in todays mail and looks nice and seems to fit perfectly except for the power and volume buttons which don't quite fit and I have to press quite hard or use my fingernail so I am not 100% thrilled but hey what can I expect for 3.99 with free shipping? It will work until we start seeing more released. Oh yeah, the case is nice and smooth, not sticky at all. Plus I like that it is transparent so I can still see my android sticker through it. It's the small things right?

I've had it for 3 days and have gotten used to the buttons. Not sure if I'm getting in the habit of it or if the case has "adapted" to the phone more some how.
I've had mine for a few days now. Love the feel of it. I don't find it sticky at all, and it didn't really cling to my pockets that much. For the price, I am satisfied until something else comes out. The screen protectors it came with suck.

It seems like I've always purchased a soft gel skin for all my previous phones for temp. protection until a thin flexible hard case comes along. I was going to buy this gel case until I found the mesh case on ebay, it doesn't completely wrap around all the corners, but it's thin & I love the look and feel of it over the gel case.
I was looking for a good portfolio case for my XOOM. I was looking for something like the iPad cases where they are portfolio style and is made of soft material so my xoom doesn't get scratched up...
any ideas?
I just ordered my xoom so I'm waiting for it to ship before I order a case, but I'm planning on getting this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Quality-Leath...3ZW6/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1310795929&sr=8-6
I saw it mentioned in another thread and it seems like all of the Ayl cases get pretty great reviews. The exterior is leather and the interior is microfiber so it shouldn't scratch. Plus, at only $10 it's much more affordable than some other cases out there.

Wow! Nice. 10 reviews and all rated it 5 stars. I'm going to order one right now!
Thanks a bunch.
Np... Hope I didn't point you in the wrong direction, but based on the reviews, it seems like it should be pretty good. Be sure to post a review or something when you get it because you'll probably get it before I order mine lol.

Warning...if it is just like the Moto leather folio, the channels cut for viewing angles may be too shallow for some as the Xoom has a tendency to collapse at steep angles. Maybe you will not have the problem. Just saying.

It's the same basic concept with a fair amount of key differences...
-fasteners have a different design
-inside is line with microfiber to prevent scratches (which is a common complaint for the moto)
-exterior is all leather, including fasteners
-as mentioned, lower price. Even if everything was the exact same, you get it for 1/3 the price.
Based on the reviews, it's the same idea with better execution.
I am one of the reviewers on Amazon. It's a fantastic case and for 10 bucks, come on it's a no brainer. I'd definitely recommend this over all the existing leather cases out there now. And who knows when this discounted price ends, its original price is more like 30 bucks.

It stays in the angles without budging, but I admit that because the surface is microfiber suede it may be slippery if you jab hard at the top of the xoom. There is no problem if you type at the bottom half of the screen. And normal presses and swipes on the screen are ok. Just don't jab hard repeatedly at the top 1/3 of the screen and you should be fine.
Targus cases are great quality, at least my P1000 Galaxy Tab one genuine leather was perfect.
The Xoom one sells for like $45+ shipping etc at Amazon. They are really good I think. Worth the price.
I guess I'm an idiot for waiting... the ayl case is now $5 more than before. Not a whole lot, but still wasted money from waiting. Oh well. I just placed my order and I'll be sure to give a review or contribute to another thread on the case once I receive mine.
I should be getting my xoom tomorrow, so I'll have time without a case to make me appreciate having a case even more.
I got one of these from ebay.

I just have a quick question about the AYL case, is the closure magnetic? I can't seem to find any confirmation that it is (looks like it in the pics), or in the reviews.
Thanks.

It is not magnetic. But the cover closes very tightly onto the xoom, so there are no worries about the cover flipping out on its own. You have to shut the cover with some force actually, but the suede inner lining will not scratch it.

Hey, thanks for the quick reply! So I guess it's just like a clip that goes over the top of the device? I just wanted to make sure it wasn't velcro, I hate that crap, lol!
Just ordered, but unfortunately it seems like they are out of stock for the moment... Gonna have to wait a few weeks it seems...
I bought the ZooGue case. I really like it. The onlu thing wrong was that it has a funny smell. Took care of that with vinegar and water and now the smell is gone. The stand is adjustable because the bottom was flat and there is velcro to adjust the view.

yes if you don't like supporting Real US Sellers and tanking our economy further. i realize buying american products is impossible but the few dollars more to buy from american sellers is a small price to pay to support our country. China is now 7 months away from being the riches country in the world kind of scares me??
This case is very nice. Especially for the price of under 15 bucks shipped. The leather is very soft, almost feels real haha. Might be... The clips are very secure, they do not block any ports, speakers etc. There is a nice "friction" styled clip that holds great closed. The different angles for viewing the tab are great too, very solid "lock up". The interior material is soft too.
In the end, you cant go wrong with this case.

Not for Italy....thank you amazon!
I got it for $10 shipped from Amazon, and they are offering to refund the whole thing if you leave a review.
I don't think they are doing it anymore...
Sent from my Galaxy Tab!
I got my case yesterday, been waiting since August 24th or something for it lol. It was on backorder, but I got a paper saying if I did a review (not a 5 star.. I says just a review) I could get a refund. I will say I like this case a lot better than the Samsung one, for the main reason it has more angles. It does feel a bit more rough on the tab, but I like how all the ports/buttons are showing.
If you just need a case to hold your tab at angles while you use it, I think this is the cheapest case out there for it.
The Samsung official book case is very very nice, and super thin. But the viewing angles are horrible. I have this case on the way and will be going with this one for sure.
I just got a Galaxy Tab last week (gift from awesome girlfriend...) - ordered a 3 pack of screen protectors (Acase, not too bad) and this case on Amazon.
Ordered the case on Thursday, had it by Saturday (Amazon Prime). Looks like some people were waiting quite a while to get these.
I was hoping for a case that was made of fairly tight leather... you know how some cases look cheap because the leather is very poofy, has a lot of extraneous padding in it? So, this case still retains a slim sleek look, like a nice portfolio.
I like the microfiber inside with the three grooves for leaning the device into.
I wish the clip that held the case closed was like 2mm longer so it really reaches around the corner of the device and clips in solidly. It's held closed pretty well, but I've been bending it a bit to make it clasp just a bit tighter.
There's a little embossed viper logo on the front... some other brand on Amazon, equally cheap, had the Samsung logo on there.
In all, pretty great case for about $15 shipped.
The card I received in my package did instruct me to write a five star review for them, but DID NOT mention anything about getting a refund if you do so. I would say don't buy expecting to get it for free
I also just recieved this case. It's pretty slick, way better than the cheap eBay case I was using before (which cost twice as much.) Only complaint is that the case was mighty stinky to begin with, but its fine now.
this case is awesome and is way better than the official Samsung one. it did cause the newton ring, but I got rid of it. going to see if this trick works to keep the ring off.
This case is just superb for the price.

This case has been reviewed several times, although under different names. Search for "clip case." I got it free (after the refund). For me it's the best case on the market right now.
just ordered one of these just to have another spare. 15 cases to my collection. i really need to stop. this is getting ridiculous. lol.
Hahahah! You, sir, have what we call a case-by-case addiction!
These are exactly like the Pyro one you reviewed a while back. Can't beat the price though.
I agree, it's like the Pyrotek case. It looks a bit on the cheaper quality side, but I got it because I was tired of the wonky angles the official case was giving me.

So the only difference between this case and the Pyro case is that this one feels cheaper? It feels pretty nice to me. The price is just untouchable though. lol
I always wondered what the difference between this and the pyro case was.
yeah haha I dont know how come can consider this cheap lol price yeah but quality? Its pretty much to go to case for the tab. Its 15 bucks shipped, looks great, feels great, quality and craftsmanship is nice too.
Its just another case with the crappy stand design. Its not worth it. Look at the massive foot print it has when in stand mode. How can you use the device on your desk when the bottom case sticks out at you like a sore thumb. Very annoying.

I made my assessment from looking at task650's review on the Pyro Skin case.
When I look at my case, the clips that hold in the sides of the tab have so overlapping of the material (which I just trimmed off) the material that the tab stands up on for the angles has this grainy look on it, whereas on the pyroskin one, it looks smooth. There's the little notches on the 2nd stand that the pyroskin case has, that looks like it may promote a tighter close, where on this case the side clips just press onto it. Although all these observations could possibly be exclusive to my case.
That's what I made my observations on. I'm not saying it's a POS... because it's not; i'm just saying the quality LOOKS a bit on the cheaper side... which is fine by me because it was cheap as hell and it does it's job awesome.
This case is pretty nice, I have the Diztronics Matte Case and this far superior.
EDIT: It appears I messed up with adding images, so I provided direct links to a Picasa album under the corresponding text.
First off, I'd like to point out its design.
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694664838498885570
This case uses a combination of three forms of TPU.
The back uses two, and the side has the third. From the photo, the majority of the back is matte with a gloss design on the side of the back.
Now for the TPU on the actual sides on the phone:
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694666212754847586
It's a nice textured form of TPU that provides a great amount of grip without making the phone impossible to slide in and out of a pocket or gather dust like silicon. It may just be that I'm fourteen, but I always found the Galaxy Nexus a bit slippery, or maybe it's because of this the darn phone gets, which looks great but isn't entirely practical.
The case itself doesn't add much to the size of the phone, but it provides decent, and very eye catching protection.
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694664844600398466
The back of the case is also raised near the camera to prevent scratches that phones like the EVO were plagued with.
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694666188166111906
The volume buttons get a dedicated cover, as expected, but makes them feel mushy, but they're really small to begin with.
The cutouts on the phone are pretty big and shouldn't have any issues, and there is also a double-holed thing at the bottom for lanyards.
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694666177130719426
This is overall a great case, for its price its pretty hard to beat as well. You can find it here on Amazon.

Yeah I wouldn't mind seeing that thanks
Thought I would start a new 'case thread' for the Z Fold 2, as the current one in this forum is very US orientated and the cases discussed there - are simply not available in the UK right now.
I will kick this off though with a high level of frustration, that this is the hardest phone to get a bloody case for! Especially given that it's one of the most fragile. Sure you can pay £80 for a flimsy bit of leather that only protects the back of the phone from Samsung. That's just a crazy price and poor value for money. But as far as I know that's the only case available to buy today (28th September).
I ordered the following Araree Bonnet leather Case from MobileFun 3 weeks ago and it's still out of stock for at least another 3 weeks:
https://www.mobilefun.co.uk/araree-bonnet-samsung-galaxy-z-fold-2-5g-wallet-stand-case-black-82183
There are no other cases available from them, they are all out of stock. Same with Amazon, where you are going to be waiting for several weeks before items are in stock. I really don't understand why, I have never had this issue with a new phone before, there were cases available for the Note 20 Ultra 2 weeks prior to the release date.
Yeah the case situation is pathetic. Just using the official leather at the moment as its better than nothing.

I think Samsung are charging way too much for the leather one, I bet they deliberately priced it so high because the people likely to buy this phone have a bit more cash to splash. Or that they know the cases are in short supply.
I bought the official leather case for my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. It's twice the size of the Fold 2 case but cost considerably less, £30 (with a discount) and even that was too much in my opinion. I really need one that protects the cover screen, hence the reason I went for the Araree case.

The rear cover fully protects the camera bump and sides.

So I ordered a cheap case off eBay whilst I wait several weeks for a much better one. Supposed to arrive this week. Of course on eBay, "UK STOCK" posted by Royal Mail that takes over a week to arrive means only one thing of course... they are being sent from China. Which I mostly expected when I ordered but took a chance that maybe someone was being honest. No wonder people claim item hasn't arrived and get their money back and still get to keep the item.
I am getting desperate for ANY kind of case for this phone, but the only one available from Samsung is the leather one (£80) or pay £150 upwards from a shark on eBay who clearly only snapped up a whole load of decent cases to add 200% mark up profit, adding over £100 to a £50 case. Crooks.
So no cases available in the UK at a non inflated price. I checked all the usual online outlets and all citing 'expected' stock in 3-4 weeks. What a frustrating crazy situation, for such a premium and arguably delicate phone, why on earth is there such a shortage here?
~
Update: One of the cases arrived today, just a hard clear back cover:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-Sams...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
It fits perfectly and will protect the back glass at least. It seems good quality for the £3 I paid, but like all these kind of cases , it adds weight to the phone on one side. Still it's better than nothing!

Yeah, you're absolutely right, the premium cases for this (very expensive) phone, are almost impossible to source, and when you eventually find one they are over-inflated prices. Trouble is sellers know that desperate consumers (who possibly have more cash than your average consumer) will eventually part with their money to protect such a valuable phone. But I am not falling for that. I have had an order for the Araree Bonnet leather case with MobileFun for over a month now and it's still showing at least a further month for stock to arrive. It's a quality leather cover case and is only costing me £35. In the meantime I am just keeping it in a neoprene pouch. The snakes on eBay buying these up and selling them for £180 - I hope someone screws them over at some point.
Anyway thanks for the link to the one you bought. The bezel on the front cover looks very thick though. Is that a bit awkward to use? I ordered a similar cheap Chinese one off eBay just to tide me over.

The only problems are swiping from the edge gestures (eg open side-bar swipe from right or notifications bar swipe down from top) which are difficult and a bit of trial and error at times. I am old school and use the 3 button navigation so not sure if gesture navigation is affected or not.
All things considered tho I prefer to use this (inexpensive) Chinese made case to protect my expensive new phone until such time as mid priced (£20 max) cases from popular brand names are widely available and are actually in stock.
P.S. for the first few days I before my case arrived i used a "sock" or "sleeve" repurposed with the fabric mesh bag that came free with my Anker 10,000mAh portable battery. Better than nothing.

Don't all flame me for this post... but I bought the cheap (China) faux leather hard case on ebay for £5 gbp and its actually perfectly fine. Its also available as UK stock for about £9 with quicker delivery

The rear cover fully protects the camera bump and sides.
The front cover protects the edges of front screen and sides (but does make swiping down from top of screen gesture a bit hit and miss for my big fingers)

I bought the same one but had to stop using after a few hours, found swiping up and down was more miss than hit.
I've got the VRS Hard Drop active on order, for the time being i'm just carrying it in a 'ShockSock' which to be fair does the job well
where did u order it from

its very expensive to ship from the brs website
I've already chipped my hinge due to lack of protection the back leather on its own isn't enough

Direct from the VRS website, I got a 15% off code (SMILEAGAIN30) when I went on the site, I think it was $53 dollars all in for the case and postage. The discount basically gave me near free postage.
I went for the black version, shipping at the end of the month apparently...so ShockSock it is till that arrives
I just received one of the Chinese two piece black plastic ones that were shown in this thread. The frame for the front part is very stiff and while this means it will stay put, the amount of force needed to put it on has scared me from doing so. I don't want to scratch my phone putting a case onto it! Or am I worrying unnecessarily? I much prefer the softer gel ones.

Sorry to hear that. Do you know how it happened?

I think you may be worrying unnecessarily about the front cover I have had the Chinese case on my fold2 for 3 weeks now and no marks visible (I only removed it to check after reading your post ). Also I left the factory fitted front screen protector on the glass so I guess i have the additional scratch protection provided by the film cover.
I'm not in the UK, but the Netherlands.
I'm currently using the Shocksock I had for the original Fold, now on the Fold 2. It doesn't fit as well as on the original, but it's OK.
I bought a Fitbag from Germany, but those things are precision-made, and even with Samsung's very thin leather back cover on the phone, the whole thing becomes too fat for the sleeve.
The VRS case looks nice. Has anyone received theirs yet?
Another nice-looking one is the Spigen thin case.
There's rarely a source for any of these cases in the Netherlands, so ordering from the US is expensive and is often fraught with extra charges at the door.
