soon to be xoom owner

i'm ready to purchase a xoom and looking for a good case i know otterbox makes good stuff but i hear it makes the tablet extra bulky is there another good recommendation ?

This one looks pretty good.
Has anyone purchased this Incipio case?

There are a few others on the XDA forum here who said the Incipio case is really good. But as far as non-folio cases go, I really like the Body Glove Phantom. It's sleek, snug, and still gives great access to the ports while still giving the protection.

The otterbox rubber sleeve is fine on its own, its only when you put the shell part on that it becomes too bulky, imho of course, I have since stopped using my otterbox and now just use the motorola folio case.

Staples has the Moto folio case for $10 on clearance but didn't like it. I ended up getting the Moto gel case because I don't have to take it off to fit the desktop dock.

I tried the Otterbox case but it was too bulky for me. I tried a cheaper CaseLogics case I got from Ebay which worked great with modifications but didn't hold up to well after a few months. I also tried the gel back but was always anxious that I might damage my screen in transit. I finally got the original Moto folio case made for the Xoom and it is the best one I've tried for my needs. Easy access and minimal bulk with built in stand/prop capability. I haven't even taken the Xoom out of it since I put it on a month ago. It is super slim but if you need the extra protection go with the Otterbox.

Same here!
I actually bought mine off refurb at WOOT.
They're having it for 329.99

Having a tough time deciding on a case

I thought about getting the ballistic case, but I honestly don't need something that big unless I'm out in the field in the military, and for those I don't bring my tablets, the phone is good enough
now I'm looking at the slim cases just for basic protection and I have found a few
Here are my choices -
AYL® High Quality Slim Leather Case Folio
This one is nice, but no prime on amazon (I like to use that feature for fast free shipping and get my money's worth lol) but I think the ratings are skewed because the company sends you a stylus pen if you write a positive review... so everyone is rating the damn thing a 5 star. it's ridiculous and I can't trust the reviews on that thing because of it...
Body Glove Moto Xoom Phantom Case
It's an inexpensive case that seems ok like a not as tough ballistic case, but no screen cover which I kind of want (and no tablet stand)
Acase Slim Leather Folio Case
This thing seems identical to the AYL and I can't tell a damn difference, and it has prime. some people said it doesn't stay put when you have it on tilt while you type though...
rooCASE Executive Portfolio (Black) Leather Case Cover
Now I really like this one and it looks professional but no stand for it, so I don't know about that...
Snugg Motorola Xoom Case Cover and Flip Stand
Just a very sleek nice looking case, I love that white sticthing

I just bought the rooCase and it's nice...a bit bulky, not really slim, unless you use the inner sleeve by itself, but it's very protective and the case doubles as a stand. It's like carrying around a rather thick agenda, with all the pros and cons of that.

AYL CASE
Got the AYL case 2 weeks ago, did not receive that Stylus promotion though.
Overall I would give it a 4.5/5 as its all good except that the top is closed just by pure pressie, so I'm afraid after constant usage the stitching will start to give out.
I would recommend it though. Solid case.

How about that acase slim? it looks identical...
that roocase I think is bit too much for what I want it.

I'd say go with the AYL case... it looks nearly identical, to the carbon fiber folio case from kevikev:

I've had the kevikev case for about 6 months now, and I absolutely love it. I haven't even thought about another case. I notice the AYL case has a cutout for charging and ports too which is nice.

I love that case. The CF look is real nice too, I might go for that case when it's in stock. Shame not on amazon

I do not have any of those cases, I have a zoogue, but I could not use a case without a stand. No stand narrows your choices a bit.

I can't decide... (yep another case thread)

I wanted a as slim as possible case and I wanted it to protect all the way around the perimeter of the phone. Here are the choices (in order from first to last), help me decide.
Rearth Ringke Slim - At $28 it's a bit expensive and it doesn't cover the sides. Also looks to be less grippy since it's hard smooth plastic.
BoxWave Blackout - I'm worried it's thicker than a case like the Rearth, but with that said it protects all around and is really cheap at $12. I think the material is more rubber like which sounds more appealing to a gloss hard case. Not many reviews anywhere for this case.
elago G4elago G4 - I'm not sure about this case in general.
Thanks for your input.

Personally I like the Leather style flip cases, The one that doubles up as a wallet.

I would never pay more than £10 (delivered) for a case.

in terms of slimness i've basically narrowed it down to two giants.
1. sgp ultra thin
2. casemate barely there.
not sure which ones better but from what i can tell they're pretty much the same, both at a hefty 25 bucks.
anyways, i'm in the same boat as you. XD
not sure which case to get.

I have the rearth and it is very slim, the only down side it is a beeeoootch to take off (i have a dock/charger for the phone) and if you take it on and off a lot it cracks and the part closet to the usb port cover, nothing earth shattering it actually makes it much easier to take the case off - that and the sgp ultra clear and it is almost like having nothing on the phone at all.

I have used diztronic cases for the last year (for my SII and now my N7000). They are very similar to the boxweave case you posted.
http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Fle...0386413&sr=8-3&keywords=diztronic+galaxy+note
As you know TPU protects like a silicon case but doesn't stick in your pocket or collect lint and dust due to it not being "sticky" feeling. I recently sold my SII for over $300 after 8 months of daily use because my SII was in perfect condition as a result of being in a diztronic tpu case. No, I never dropped the phone on cement or anything but I dropped my SII on the carpet from 5+ feet and the phone was unchanged when I picked it up. Didn't pop out of case or battery, etc. Because the tpu cases have a 1/8 or so "lip" on the front they also allow the phone to be placed face down on flat surfaces. IMHO and experience, a good tpu case is all you need to fully protect your phone unless you work in construction or somehow expect to drop it on cement.
So, my vote goes to the boxweave or diztronic cases. BTW I got 2 diztronics for $14 from amazon, the black matte and smoke matte. Great deal!

^I'm actually thinking of getting a real cheap TPU case like that I can mod. My ideal case is a TPU Bumper, maybe the Boxwave Black out without the back part but have the vol and power buttons cut out. I guess it's just not feasible so far... ?
Anyway, Thanks for the input so far guys, keep it coming.

first post here,
I have one of these.
search amazon for bumper cases.
I'm not allowed to post urls.
I like it, I have it on right now. What I have is different from what's
in the pictures. No cutouts for the buttons and the other cutouts are not
as big. The covers of the buttons are pretty sensitive, unlike the covers
for the Boxwave type which I got from Hongkong for 2 bucks.
Check amazon out, they have a lot of cases.
I also have the elago Breathe case, I love them I have two.

I ended up taking my chances on this. I guess it's going to be as close as I get. Thanks everyone, I'll let you know how it is when I get it.

I have the 3 of them
Go for the Rearth Ringke Slim , is THE BEST OF ALL !!!

Hi all, I'm in a similar dilemma.
I've got a choice between these two:
https://www.gearzap.com/media/catalog/product/3/4/34484-2.jpg
and
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HYBRID-SI...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item416682f7b6
I know I should pick the Zenus, but would the inside bit that holds my phone scratch the outer bezel? And since the hybrid one has a silicon case THEN a hard outer shell I figured it would be good too. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I use a an SGP Ultra thin. Comfortable case. Considering the size of the phone the case is great. Merges with the Phone. +1 anytime.

I ordered this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160732471512?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649. It has a stand that works in both axis.

good
Nice

Nillkin Fruit/Fresh: Reviews?

Hey guys, I'll make this short and sweet. I've been looking around the boards for a few weeks for a simple flip cover that wont break the bank or damage my phone.
All I need is a good fit, earpiece hole and sleep/wake function (not spending $50 on the official LG flip cover though)
I came across this one on amazon:
http://www.amazon.ca/Nillkin-Fruit-...2338300&sr=8-1&keywords=Nexus+5+Nillkin+fruit
I haven't seen any reviews of this case other than a single sentence saying they didn't like the thickness and it is only one person's opinion.
Has anyone else had experience with this case? I'm mostly concerned about the polycarbonate inside scratching the corners of my Nexus.
Any input on this case is appreciated, but I am also open to other suggestions for cases that meet the above criteria.
Thank you!

I just got this in the mail today. Only $7.99 shipped from this seller:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/271320259952
I've always liked Nillkin products. Good quality stuff. This case is no exception. I got the black one. The case is a glossy polycarbonate. Fairly thick. It's a gunmetal metallic color. The flip cover is a sturdy leather like cover. The magnetic closure works really well. Sleep/Wake works great. The design of the magnetic closure reminds me of the great Poetic cases for tablets. The entire case gives the phone some weight and a very premium feel and look. Wireless charging works fine with the case on. I think it's better than the LG case and for only $7.99!

Hello
The serial number of the Nillkin Fresh Fruit can be used on a single device? I've first tested the case on my phone but now I want to use it on another phone. On the second phone it does not accept the serial number. What can I do ?

Searching for a case like Griffin Survivor, maybe Seidio Dilex?

Hey guys, new to here, I work in schools, and recently the case for our iPads catch my attention, never used rugged cases before, only TPU, or cheap silicone, or wallet style cases. I some how start to like that industrial design of the Survivor, .for now I use the original Quick Cover, but it has no protection from drops, just a piece of plastic case, with some fake leather flap, id does feel good, and premium, but was ridiculously expensive, but we all know, it's the same for other original accessories, and rarely they worth the price of the company's logo. For example, I searched for some good dual QI charger, but found on from 3rd party, ZENS it is, and I was awsome guys. Now about the case I liked, a searched for a while here and there, stopped at 2 options, Dilex by Seidio, and Aegis by Trident, the Seidio is more useful, and looks nicer on images, but the construction is different. I don't really care for port covers, as I have a pack of separate caps, I bought some time ago, as I only use wireless charging.
My perfect cover would have a built in stand, have good drop protection, not bulky and heavy, and work with a glass screen protector, I use iLoome FLEX, that are most thin glass protector I know of, and do not interfere with GPS, WIFI, and especially QI wireless charging. Is Dilex is the case for me? any good bad experiences with it? how is the material? in compare for OtterBox, is it silicone, or rubber? and how much hard or soft it is? Thank's. and feel free to recommend me other covers that come in mind, that have that features. I rarely drop my devices, but just in case, and want to try some rugged case, maybe I will like it, like I like it on our schools iPads.
