I'm case shopping. Less is more

My Xoom came with a Cyber Acoustics leather case. It has a lot of advantages, is very well made, but I would like something that simply protects the case and allows me to use the HD audio dock, without removing it. Access to all the ports and the power button is an obvious "must have". Grippy back surface would be a plus. I was looking at the Body Glove Phantom, but they don't seem to be available any more. Does anyone have a recommendation?

I have an Incipio shell. Works very well.

I went to look at the Incipio cases. They have at least 3 made for the xoom. One described as the kickstand case, one called feather ultralight hardshell, and one called Silicrylic. It never can be easy can it?

Heh. I have the red Featherlight.

If less is more, there is always the gel case. All ports (apart from SD card slot I think) are open.

Thanks Kenny,
I bought the featherlight and it's just what i was looking for...well made, secure fit, not cluttered with features that just add bulk.

Yeah, I must have bought 5 or 6 Xoom cases in the time I've had it, and this one is the one I've settled with (I'd better buy a spare while I still can, come to think of it).
What I use when carrying it around is this case, which has a pouch that I keep a small BT keyboard in, as well as my USB OTG cable and a cleaning cloth.

Yust use the gel case

My little review on the "Beyond Cell" "Duo shield" Samsung Galaxy S3 case.

My little review on the "Beyond Cell" "Duo shield" Samsung Galaxy S3 case.
after getting my s3, i like everyone else started looking for cases.
I couldn't justify spending $40+ on a case ( i know its not much ) but for me, i could essentially vacuum formed ABS around it & then painted that with 1 can of plastidip & had a case as good, if not stronger then a otter-box defender
so i went perusing the beautiful internets of china & saw some cases that were around $10-$20 . i saw a few, but it seemed like all where the same but the sellers were just inflating the prices.
so i decided i also wanted a kickstand, so what i wanted was:
kick stand,
hard-case
soft gel case to go over hardcase
So enter the Beyond Cell DUo Shield.
it cost me about $13 shipped & i surprisingly received it about 5 days after ordering.
I have dropped this thing 3 times on purpose from about waist height. & 2 on accident (it was on my lap when i got out of my car) & all is well still no cracks or breaks...etc.
the rubber sleeve has nubs on the inside of it, that press the buttons, so you don't have the hard dead feeling like with hard buttons. all the ports are accessible, 1 little issue i have with it, is i dont like how it emcpompases the LED, speaker & camera...but those are aesthetic issues.
pics are below.
I will get the pics of the phone in the case when i get my Nexus 7 from work since i cant take a pic of the phone in the case with the phone...lol

Fake Leather Sleeve-- review + pics

I wanted an inexpensive sleeve that offered a little bit of protection without adding too much bulk. This sleeve is well made and is the perfect combo of size/padding. I ordered the Samsung Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4 size, but I am using this for an LG G Pad 8.3. The G Pad has similar measurements, just a hair smaller in all dimensions except for thickness. The G Pad fits in nicely and pulls out smoothly. It is dark brown even though it looks black in some of the pictures, with a lighter brown microfiber interior.
The best part for me was the price. I got it for $2.14, shipped. It looks like now it is available only as an add-on item, but still for $1.99.

This is what it looks like if you shove it in all the way, but a more natural fit is shown above.

I also have this. A very good sleeve for its price, I bought it for 1p (yes 1p but with £1.99 postage, in total £2 )
A very happy purchase :laugh: although it smelt kinda funky when it first came.

Looks like an excellent bargain,I'm going to get one.Thanks for posting.:good:

Me too! £2 very well spent! Although I am still trying to find a very slim case....

Mine arrived today and I really like it - thanks again to the OP

My custom kevlar backpanel

Hello guys,
As an ex razr owner, i miss the premium,grippy and sturdy feeling of my phone. Unfortunately, our Moto G 's come with a cheap plastic backcover that would never feel premium. After all you get what you pay for.
I had a spare xt912 backplate lying around so i said why not apply the kevlar on the G backcover as an experience. The result i could achieve in 10 minutes with sticky tape is visible in photos below. If i had more kevlar, i would have done this more professional.
Btw i'm not using this cause it looks so bad. Just looking for an online seller where i could get the OEM Moto G Ferrari kevlar backpanel.

It is KEVLAR material licenced by Dupont from the original RAZR. I don't know if else but stock original part.

Look here http://www.skinomi.com/sk14869-motorola-moto-g-carbon-fiber-skin-protector.html :good:

Little note about composite materials: Kevlar is an aramid fiber, not carbon or glass fiber, they're three different types.

PET Screen Protectors are also available

I have ordered the Style Swap cover from Amazon and Oneplus glass screen protector the same should arrive tomorrow. Will post image and review as soon as I get my hands on them

So today I got two accessories the style swap cover and the glass screen guard from OnePlus.
So what are my views on the style swap cover well I would say it good but its not vow and the reason could very well be that I am not wooden panely type guy but a fibre carbon type of guy hence it could matter of tast.
However please note that I am no waying that the cover is bad its good however it does not for me stand out.
The fit and finish is excellent and it has two connectors i guess its for some sort of antenna which is built between the plastic bottom and the bamboo top.
Images of the cover are below more will be posted tomorrow

i dnt like the wood either but like the fact your phone looks so different. Does this protect the phone in anyway? Im careful enough not to drop my phones but i like them looking almost brand new so i can sell them a year later and upgrade to the latest model

No these wont protect the phone in any way you will need a good qulaity transparent bumper cover to protect the phone
