I have a refurbished lapdock and was looking for a case for it. The best case I found was the Motorola sleeve but I will not pay 59.99 which is the suggest price. Anyways picked up the sleeve for 29.99 no tax and free shipping at amazon.com

There are 2 left last time i checked
I'm using a $5 dollar neoprene case (Case Logic) I got along with my Viewsonic GTab.
Even though the case is a bit smaller, it stretches enough to allow a tight fit since its made of neoprene.
Even my USB Logitech trackball mouse along with several usb memory fit inside the side compartment!

Where did you find the neoprene case for $5? I found it on Amazon for $12.59.

Neoprene Sleeve
I just ordered this @ $5.99 for my lapdock today. Comments say it fits the Acer 11.6" notebook (presumably the Aspire one), which is thicker/wider than the lapdock, but an 1" shorter in depth. However the description says the inside dimensions of the sleeve are 11.8" x 9.1" x 0.25", and the lapdock is 11.18" x 9.3" by .54"
Should be a good snug fit, will let you know.

I upgraded to the Otterbox Defender Series case for my XOOM. I got the Portfolio Case laying around back in the original box I had purchased it with (from best buy). I bought this case the day I got my XOOM knowing that I would upgrade once a better case had hit the market.
I am willing to sale this case and ship it for $15. just pm me and I'll let you know how to pay me through paypal.
I figured another XOOM owner needs a case...
any takers?
I know there's gotta be a XOOM out there that needs a case...
pm me for details...
How do you like the Defender?

Motorola Xoom Portfolio Case - Saved my Xoom
I want to share a quick story with you guys.
Yesterday I was on my 7th floor balcony playing Poker on my xoom, and smoking at the same time. I accidently dropped xoom, which landed on a patch of grass. While watching it flying down, I was already thinking, there goes $600.00 down the drain. While in mid air case closed it self and zoom landed flat. When went to pick it up, not one single scratch on it, and works perfect. $50.00 Folio Case saved my xoom.
I'm glad you didn't crack the touch screen glass.

bought the portfolio case and returned it w/in 2 days, upgraded to the otterbox ( i think they only have one xoom case) and couldn't be happier, my otterbox stand/outer cover actually cracked, i called otterbox and they sent me an entirely new case, even when i told them i only need my case/stand (1 of the 2 included pieces). props to otterbox

Super helpful.
I quite like the case. The basic design is sound just its execution could be better. There's definately a lot of variation in quality control though. The first one I bought at full price from authorised dealer the fit was very tight. I returned that when I found one for sale half the price elsewhere. Had to return that because the plastic clip was coming away from the vinyl.
On the third one now & this one seems to be much much better. The tab slides in easily but is snug so no chance of it accidently sliding out. The device just seems to fit in much better, but whereas the previous 2 had a cutout for the charging hole this one does not.

Are you talking about the Moto case? You has ones that had a cutout for the charge port?
I had to put one in mine with a hole punch. I had always given the moto case a 99 out of 100 for being such a great case but lacking that one super simple feature.

Yes the oficial Moto portfolio case. The first two had a cutout for the charging port but the one I have now does not.

I really wish they'd get a case that lets you access the Micro USB slot on our device. Using a wireless mouse, BT keyboard, and HD Dock to the TV, that would make me a content customer!
I've bought this case and I love it.
Just ordered a Xoom off of Woot. Can anyone point me to a decent quality case or portfolio? I'm not sure as to who makes good cases for the Xoom. And I'm hoping to not spend more than $30.

Best Buy has the Motorola Portfolio Case for $20 right now, its fairly decent for what it is and is definitely a better price than its MSRP of $40.
I've heard good things of the slim AYL case on amazon. Should get mine next week. Apparently they offer you a free stylus if you post a review too.

+1 on the AYL case at Amazon. I paid $25 delivered and I'm pleased with the case. No funky smells, has cutout to access the dock connector, charge port, etc. while in the case and with the case closed. The case will take a bit to "loosen up". Recommended.

I had the Motorolla portfolio case first, it's ok but after a while it started to slip a lot.
Then I went to the ZooGue case, http://www.zoogue.com/products/XOOM-Case-Genius-Black-Leather-.html
I was a little skeptical of a velcro setup, but it really helps keep it stable. It has the cutouts for charging etc. You can easily move it to pretty much any angle you want very quickly, and it will stay there.
Just got my ayl case and i love the slimness of it and the way it feels when folded with the case behind the screen compared with the plastic bulk of the moto one. Definitely recommend it! Oh and open charging ports definitely a big plus ;-)

AYL case
received mine today after reading good feedback over here. Quality is top notch, would highly recommend to all Xoom owners. The only thing I was unhappy about is postage costs ( $31 and it's not as if I am living in Africa or the case weighs a few kilos...)
So if you can get it posted at a reasonable price - go for it, defo the best case for Xoom
There are several leather case for xoom. http://www.digglove.com/tablet-pc-a...m.html?sgmid=d11867ce71291fe4da6d557a119e3df9
good price. each case is less than $16. and the shipping just $2.99. Black 360 Degree Rotary Leather Case With Fur Inside for Motorola Xoom especial this one is very excellent.
I am liking my AYL case. Charging cutout, nice leather feel, stable prop, good angles... What more do you want in a case?

After contacting the seller got a half price refund on postage. Excellent service and product
I can say stay away from the official Moto case - about the only thing I like about it is that it protects the device well when it's closed.
coming from the otterbox one I like the Motorola one as its smaller and lighter, however it does suffer from slipping and I'm not keen on the fact it covers the ports on the bottom. The device also slips down in the case when you fold the bottom section down.
Think they should put groves in the side of the unit so cases have something to grip on.
I ended up ordering the AYL case from Amazon after reading the comments here. It is nice and thin, but sturdy. Fits the Xoom well. I highly recommend it.
Hey guys...does the ayl case allow for docking on the moto dock while still on? I have the zoogue case, like it a lot but i would like to be able to dock while the case is on....
There are some nice gel cases on ebay
I just replaced my original xoom portfolio case with the AYL case. I think it's a great value. The fit is excellent, and the current version has a cutout for the charging and usb/HDMI ports.

I would like to know about this too.
I came across this post and I thought I would share the love:
"Looks like Motorola is shedding all inventory for Xoom accessories. Check out their official page at: MOTOROLA XOOM Accessories - Tablet Accessories - Motorola Mobility, Inc. USA But the portfolio cover is $4.99, the dock is $14.99 (or $64.99 for the speaker dock). Heck even the keyboard (not on sale includes a free BT mouse). Not too shabby IMO."

I like to use a neoprene sleeve (or something similar) for traveling with a tablet. Has anybody found one that fits well? Most of the ones I've found are either too big or possibly a little too small. Seems like one designed for an e-reader might work.
I bought for my G Pad a 8" Yarvik sleeve, but as almost every 8" tablet, the Yarvik sleeve is designed for those squarer 8" (our G Pad is more like a rectangle). So in for height the G Pad fits great, but in width there is a lot of empty place, so the tablet inside is moving to the sides. Still better than nothing though...

No Neoprene but fits perfect
wrong thread - please delete.
Samsung 7-8" Pouch Stand
It's not a sleeve pocuh, but I love its functionality and cost (in Spain 10-15€). It's available in 3 colors, I have grey and lime, for my Galaxy Tab 7.7 and for my G-Pad 8.3. The Galaxy Tab 7.7 fits perfectly, but the LG is a bit taller than pouch, about 5mm. It fits very good, but maybe the top of the tablet exceed over the pouch.
I recommend you the pouch because its functionality, the size is not a real problem for me.

I bought this one and it arrived today. Big disappointment. It's very tight and it's hard to get the tablet in and out. It's pretty much useless as a stand, and the flap does not close when the device is in the case. I put in a return request already.
Here are a couple that I am looking at.
This one kind of looks good but concerned it may be too big / bulky.
http://www.amazon.com/Optimus-Protective-sleeve-messenger-Black/dp/B00GVHUP1K/ref=sr_1_111?ie=UTF8&qid=1386732131&sr=8-111&keywords=lg+g+pad+8.3
This one appears to be more of a pouch / case to accommodate accessories along with the tablet. Nice but pricey. Still tempted though
http://www.sfbags.com/products/tablet-cases/travelcase-tablet.php
This last one is actually designed for the Mac Wireless keyboard. I actually own one of these and the G Pad fits perfect width wise, but the sock is too tall / long by about 2 1/2 inches. It can be folded in if desired. It's nice material and soft. Still a little pricey in comparison to the first one.
http://www.sfbags.com/products/keyboard-cases/keyboard-socket.php
Tough deciding. May go with the last one if I can convince my daughter to shorten it and sew the end back up for me.
I've got this one: <amazondedomain>/gp/product/B008H3MOY2/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Though maybe only available in germany and not made of neoprene but some fabric (which I like much more, btw). Fits rather tight in length and has 1-2cm space in width, i.e. seems to be meant for some 7" tablets.
Sorry for the missing amazon.de domain... my first post and i'm not allowed to specify external links...?
I got this one at 5 below in New Jersey. It is a perfect fit but I did have to remove the Velcro from the inside and make a strap to latch it shut.

i just ordered this one as i was looking for a leather sleeve, not a neoprene as they are too stretchy. i will let you know how it fits when it arrives but i believe it is custom fit for the g pad.
Neoprene cover
I bought the one above a year ago for my N7.
I'm now using it for my G pad. The fit is perfect. Be aware that it is quite bulky, but it's great quality and even has an extra pocket for accessories.

I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts about it when you receive it. I've been looking at it too but have yet to find any other seller selling it. I can't order from this one because they don't ship to Sweden.

We have something you don't in the US!
It's a bit shocking how limited the accessories are for the gpad. With luck my new VOIA jelly case will be here from the US by the end of the month. That's only 6 weeks........
I'll have a look on the US Amazon site and see if I can spot it for you as I'm sure it's a rebadged generic case, even if it's very nicely made.
