I believe I just found the perfect case for the Motorola Xoom!
I really love the original Motorola Xoom Portfolio case but the fact that is leaving scratches on the Xoom and most importantly the missing angle for typing on it, was keeping me away from buying it.
It looks like this case I just found is completely identical with the original one, extremely similar design but with an extra adjustment for typing! Hopefully it doen't leave scratches too!
I beleive this is what most people are looking forward to..

I am not familiar with this website and it looks like a wholesale/mass order seller and there is no price.
But at least this is a great start
What you guys think?
Edit, more info:
It's made by a company called Y-Case.

It looks exactly like the Motorola portafolio case. But probably more expensive.

And still no port for charging while closed.
This case will probably leave scratches 2.
It's very similar to the popular Toblino iPad case, which is well liked.
I actually reached out to the manufacturer of this case. The reply back was:
"The price for this case is 5.0usd/pc,MOQ is 300pcs." ... sadly I'm not an importer and am not willing to take the risk to import 300 units and resell them! Even at $5 each!
Hopefully someone will pick it up for distribution in the U.S.
FYI, the KeviKev case is available on Alibaba as well, for significantly less $$$... the markup is pretty severe on that case.

Yes it is availible on there as well now get a quote for genuine leather not the $5 PU man made stinky stuff, add the shipping import taxes customs duties shipping supplies federal taxes state taxes cost of operating, web fees paypal fees ebay fees ect ect and i bet you would be amazed at what they wind up costing. Now look at the flimsy cheap motorola OEM case that sells for the same price, who's mark up is worse? and as you said you wouldnt take the risk at $5 That $5 ends up being $30 by the time you add everything up,Thanks

are you sure the KeviKev case is the same one on Alibaba? Maybe the leather quality is different?
I'm only asking because I was actually thinking of getting the KeviKev case. The Pdair case is nice, but very expensive ($120) http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=11000659_11001165_11001166&products_id=32373

@kevikev ... your points are exactly why I wouldn't take the risk. Note I didn't cut your business down for doing the importing... in fact I think you're doing a great job and a fantastic service to the Xoom community. Bravo. If you peruse the forums, here and at the owner support site, you'll quickly notice I've been pimping your cases... because of these reasons. As a matter of fact, I was one of the first to note it and drive people to your site and ebay auction. So, be nice! I'm allowed to have an opinion kevikev!
That said... $48 is still pretty steep for a case... including the crappy moto case I purchased on day 1. Not to say I wouldn't pay that much for a decent leather case... with proper cutouts of course ;-)

that's good to know...the leather makes all the difference
Also, the xoom is kinda curved in the back...does the leather curve up as well so its not a loose fit on the side edges?

Risk is right the other night the power went out and I tripped on a stack of them lol
I have 300 plus I pad 1 cases that I can't sell for less than I paid I also have 200 tab cases that I can't sell at cost, I could go on and on but that's the risk its not like getting 100 of your friends together and everyone pitches in 20 bucks you order 100 cases and split them you don't. Need to pays taxes accountants and so on. Thanks for you post I'm glad to see someone realizes that this is work. Best buy probibly pays 5 bucks for the motor case now that's a markup

Its a good fit not curved though, I do have one being built that is like the Motorola case but in a carbon fiber leather like material that the clips are leather warped if you look at my website at the tab case you'll see what it will look like but made for the xoom it will actually have a typing position did you guys get the coupon code for the xoom. Case 10% off use the coupon code xoom.
ZooGue Case
Just wanted to let you all know about the ZooGue case. It can go into any angle and you have access to all the ports. It at a good price aswell for only 49.99

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.

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??
Why is it that there is no real good selection of cases...I can't even find where to buy the asus premium case...why release something with no protection?
**** I went to best buy today and they had a whole rack for the tab 3...nothing for new nexus 7. All the cases that seem to look decent are not even available for the next week or so. I just am at a loss...I just want a nice flip case that ideally has a magnet that doesnt screw up the screen and actually fits the tablet...I'd even shell out decent money...
They don't want to give case makers the heads up on the design because leaks would be instantaneous, but I think if Google was smart they'd manufacture their own case to have ready at retail right alongside the tablet. It makes their brand look 2nd rate when people like us who are fans of their product can't buy things to protect it. Asus has the travel case but that thing is a joke.

The best place to find cases now is at Amazon.
Most of them come from China, but they will do the job, at least in the interim.
They're typically under $15 with shipping.
I got this one for $5
http://www.amazon.com/Fintie-Classi...id=1376113513&sr=8-1&keywords=nexus+7+2+cases
It's nothing special, but it will protect the device...even has a magnetic cover.
The Asus premium case hasn't been released yet, but it's supposed to be $40 when it becomes available in September.
More and more options are appearing daily.

Shows it on the preorder page. Currently 87/1400 with 30 days to go.
JUST PREORDERED! #89!
This is going to be the case that keeps our ONEPLUS protected but gives us our precious back which we all love to feel!
PREORDER PEOPLE!
Idk if we'll get enough people to pre-order to even get this bumper made. I mean It's still in the double digits.
There is 30 days left and they will give you a refund if they dont get enough. This is by far the most beastly case you can get for our phone. PREORDER SO WE CAN GET THIS SICK CASE! There is no reason not too!
If they reach 70% of there goal they start production so lets get there!
#96 here
You have nothing to lose, money will be returned if they don't make the 1400. Plus it's only day 3, and there are 30 days left! That's on track for 3000+.

Well if you look at an Otterbox they start at $40 bucks. This is a premium case for our beautiful phone. The company has incredible screen protectors and there cases have proven to be really protective.
I want to protect my device but still have the back open. This is the case to do that.
If you don't want a one of a kind case for our device than don't purchase. This is basically the only high end case from a high end company, I pre-ordered right away.
1500 pre-orders... lol...
So they want you to pre order a bumper for $30 without seeing it.
You know you CAN see the one they made for the iPhone.
Personally, I am not a fan of bumper cases, I do realize that the bulk of the damage on a phone happens on its' sides but I just can't help it, I want a case that covers the back too. That's why my favorite kind of cases are the hybrid "TPU on the sides + a hard back" type.
I can however understand the guys that want to see and touch the back too, especially one as unique as the One's.
If this bumper came fused to a hard back too I could prolly see myself paying the 30+ USD price.
Use a rubber band.

This is NOT a casing, it's a mere bumper. An Otterbox is a fully protective casing.
$30 for a bumper only; or,
$40 for a fully protective casing.
Which do you think is more valuable? Unless Evolutive Labs show us the design and prove that their bumper really works on this device, I'm not buying this. You cannot believe them right away by watching their iPhone demo. The iPhone is thicker and is easier to get protection from the bumpers. The OnePlus One is very thin and how do you think a bumper (unless bulky), is going to protect the device?
And no, they have NO cases sold or made and used by the consumers. There is nothing to be proven. The iPhone crashguard is still in the Kickstarter stage. Nobody have used it, nobody have proved that their crashguard actually works. This is Evolutive Labs's first take on a bumper.
While I do like their screen protector, but there are still some things that I'm not satisfied but I'm not going into that here. Well, it's up to you. It's your money after all. Okay, how about you prove it to us that it works when it gets on your hands (IF this thing actually make it into production)? For science, of course.
I bought the G4 with plastic back, thinking that I can eventually replace the back with a leather one for less than the $40 difference. So far, I have been unable to find a leather back cover for less than that. The cheapest OEM LG cover on ebay is $60. Crazy right?
Anyway, I am sure as time goes on, there will be more and cheaper options.
Meanwhile, if anyone knows of one, please post here. Again, I am looking to replace the plastic back cover with leather, not applying a leather protector case on top. With G4 slightly larger than G3, I find it really bulky and ugly to add anything to it. I will most likely just use it naked with a screen protector.
Mobile Fun has brown and black for pre-order for $50. I think over at AC someone posted that LG might officially be releasing leather backs as early as tomorrow.
An LG rep told me that they will be selling leather cases starting Monday.

Thanks. But I don't think they are worth more than $40, which is what LG wants for them if you buy the one with the leather back. I might be willing to pay $20, but ideally around $10. I know, I am cheap...
Lol...I paid 70 after shipping for my red on on eBay.

Any more info on the backs straight from LG?
Nothing that I've heard yet. Once It gets it a little later in the day here in Cali I'll text my LG rep see what she says about them.

Why no black?!?! Y u do dis LG?!?!?!?! :crying:
Just ordered my 2 for 1.
Shipping is free so I'm getting 2 leather backs for $76.02 including tax.
they may get cheaper in the future but I don't care.
I have the deep blue verizon variant and I ordered the red leather and the yellow leather.
I know the yellow could get dirty, but I'll only use that on certain occasions.
According to web site, they'll be shipped on 6/26.

I didn't like the leather cases. Plus I use a case to protect the sides. So relevant. I got the white back. I love it.
So they're doing 2 cases for the price of one, but I only want one case. Anyone (who doesn't mind getting a Verizon model*) want to go in with me? I'll get two cases, and send you one for half of what I pay plus whatever it costs me to ship it to you. (Bonus if you're in the Chicago area and we can do this in person.)
*LG asks for carrier. I'm guessing that just means some kinda branding, but it's barely possible that brand has something to do with how the case fits. I'm on VZW so I'll be specifying that on the cases when ordering.

I'd be up for that deal. I have the black leather VZW variant, and would enjoy a red leather back to swap out on occasion.
why only in US.
this is bad for us Italians.

hahah this alone could be a good enough reason
Heads up - a few OEM black leather cases just popped up on ebay for $34, cheaper than the BOGO deal. Search for item 251989020528.
Personally I think I will still hold out for the $10 price point. But it's nice to see a quick drop in prices on these...

I just bought that. Let's see how the quality is and how genuine.

Very interested to hear what you think of it. My completely uninformed guess was that LG's would be higher quality. But I'd love to be proved wrong.
