Smile Acase Leather case for Xoom

I got tired of the rooCASE that I recently purchased so I picked up an Acase from Amazon. The case is pretty much the design equivelant to the plastic Motorola unit but this one is made of buttery soft black leather that smells like a new pair of shoes. It feels great in your hands and provides verly little bulk. Open, aside from the tabs keeping the Xoom in place, the bezel remains incovered. With the rooCASE, dust constanly got under the covering and drove me nuts. There are cut outs for the volume, headphone jack, camera, and power button. The only problem I see is mounting to a dock, you would have to remove the case to do so.There is no snap closure either but rather a curved piece at the top which works well. Fits inside my rooCASE prefectly for travel.

$30.95 + 4.50 s&h

Ships from Amazon

Been thinking about this one for a bit. Looks great, but I have the same question about stability in the 3rd position.

i see that kevikev guy on here has a carbon fiber version of this case that has the improved slots has anyone tried that one? he also has a lower priced litchi leather one that is a lower price that states that the lower angle is not that stable thus the lower price im thinking about getting the carbon fiber one, it looks different and i like the look,

How long took the shipping to you? I'm thinking about to order it to our california headquarter so that my collegues could bring it to Germany when they travel back after this week...

I also have this case and I have to say: "I love it". But yes, the lowest vieweing angle doesn't support well the weight of the xoom, and it easily drops then. But the other two angles work quite well. All in all, the size of the xoom + acase is perfect and it is easy to take out from your backpack, check whatever on the xoom, put it down somewhere. Ahh, and I got mine for only 14$ in Amazon. I don't know if they still have at this price.

Best,

Default my only complaint

Yes, just like the Motorola case. What I do not like is that all of the ports on the underside are covered when the case is closed. So it has to be opened and lay flat to charge. And you must have it open to plug in headphones.

Sorry for such a delayed response. The third position is not very stable, it falls with a light touch. First two are okay though.

I paid for next day shipping because I hate waiting for things but since the order is fulfilled by Amazon you will get it rather fast depending on when you want it. 2 day shipping I believe is 10-15 bucks. Mine shipped from Lexington Kentucky.

Thx, but I've already got mine on monday.

My boss brought it to Germany when he came back from a visit of our company headquarter in San Francisco. I've ordered it to that office on Amazon.com before, costs are €33,83 incl. 2-days-shipping ($34.95 w/o shipping).

I'm really satisfied with it, fits much more better than the LuvTab and doesn't bloat it so much.
