[Xoom Accessories] slack04:
I just posted this review on Amazon, but figured you guys might like it too. Hope it helps you make your choice. I think this one will work for me until I make the final decision whether to keep my xoom or not.

Here's a link to the Amazon listing: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004QKLPUY/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_img

There's also a red one, but no amazon prime: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004US57G0?tag=5336653508-20

First: this is a cheap case. If you want an expensive case, don't look in the $15 range. You will need to spend at least 3 times that to get a "nice" case.

Now that we have that over with, I just got this case yesterday and I'm happy with it. not "5 stars" happy, but it works. Here's what I think you want to know:

1) It is not made of quality material, but I think it will hold up for a bit. I wouldn't expect it to last if given to a child or left in a backpack.

2) It will not protect the sides or corners of your xoom. They're exposed, and the bottom corners may stick out just a hair. Not a problem if you're like me and very careful with your electronics.

3) The case does not stand upright, and doesn't hold iself up for typing very well. You can mess with it to get it up at a bit of an angle for typing, but it's weak material and just slumps down after a while. I assume this will get worse as the material breaks-in.

4) The cutouts are poorly done. You can see that they're done seperately (one for the speaker, the other for the camera-speaker-power button) and they don't line up with each other. Also, because the xoom isn't held perfectly into the case, they don't always line up perfectly with the case (but this will be a problem with everything but a very tight case). The worst part is that the power button is partially covered by the case. Whoever the genius was that decided to put the power button there is really at fault, but this case makes it more difficult. I plan to find an exacto knife and open it up a bit to make the button accessible.

5) Two things are incorrect in the description: there is no "built-in pockets for documents" and it didn't come with a wristband. Fine by me; I don't think pockets would get used, and I don't really get the gimmick of a plastic bracelet...

6) The latch is only semi-usable (it's a pain to get it into the slot, and doesn't really hold it closed anyways) and it covers the ports when it's used. Really, just setting it off to the side would have solved this problem, or make it wider with a hole in the bottom to allow cabling. The strap is the biggest design flaw... Very irritating, but not fatal.

OK, so I've been very critical, but I gave it 4 stars. Why? Well, it's $15, it serves its purpose (to allow me to put my expensive electronic thing in my bag and take it away), and I don't think it's going to break any time soon (though I may try to modify the strap to be, well, useable...). Like I said at the beginning; if you want a nice case, spend the money for one. If you want a cheap case so you can safely take this thing outside: here you go.

***UPDATE: Nothing above is incorrect, except that as it's aged, the bottom corner straps have sagged and now it's a bit off. I'm getting the Acase (to keep the corners protected). 2 stars now.
