Here is the Motorola Folio case. Enjoy!

[anon(52425)]

Picked this up just about an hour ago. It is a lot different in person that what I took from the internet pictures out there. It has a nylon-like front and back to it and the interior is nice and smooth (fleece-like). It gives me a good idea as to the size of the Xoom (see that paper insert). I will say this, I DONT find that it is worth 39.99. I was on the fence when I was looking at it. The Verizon rep though hooked me up with 10.00 off, so I paid 29.99 which I think is more reasonable. Sorry for the low quality pics, my wife has the digital camera so I used my mobile.

I will be stopping by best buy after work to take a look and likely buy the folio. I wonder if there are different ones (i.e. leather)

I asked him that. As far as he knew, this was the only one Motorola made.

And one last one:

The one on motorola's site looks leather. And I feel like I read somwhere that there would be different materials and colors.

 

[jaeisber]

and it looks leather on BB's site too. I will have to check and let you know.

Thats the impression I had when I came to the store, thinking it was leather. Either way I do like it and I believe it will offer good protection. The full asking price though was a bit silly once you have it in hand.

And now I have an empty case to look at for the next day!

Looks like there is a leather one:

If you hover your mouse over the pictures of the case, it will enlarge it and you can clearly see a leather texture. Oh well, I got a nice discount out of it

Ha, I'll probably be in the same boat as you. If BB has them in leather, I will be buying it after work. But then I will have to wait until tomorrow to fill it. Luckily I have a 7:30 apt at VZW to get my Xoom so the wait wont be too long.

I tried 2 Best Buys in my area and they wouldnt budge in selling me one. This Verizon store also denied me the case yesterday but today I lucked out. The closest Best Buy to me said that they might not have any accessories until next week which was reported by another user here the other day.

 

[jaeisber]

I am looking at best buy's site right now. Every Best Buy within 10 miles of me (6 or 7 stores) has all of the Xoom accessories in stock and available for in-store pickup today. If they tell me I cannot buy the folio today, I will just go online, order it for in-store pickup and head to the customer service desk to get it, ha.

The question is, do you think the leather version would be worth $44.99?

I have that 25% off coupon for any Motorola accessories, and this may stop me from buying the "durable" version tomorrow at Best Buy.

I just wish Moto would make the accessories available on their website already!

 

[anon(52425)]

Good idea I forgot about their in store pickup. Good luck.

 

[jaeisber]

The leather version at BB is 39.99

 

[Live2ride883]

The leather version at BB is 39.99

I have a 15.00 BB reward zone certificate... I will be getting the leather one.

 

[ckeegan003]

The leather version at BB is 39.99

I thought that was the "durable" version, which is what the OP picked up for $39.99 (before his discount).

 

[anon(52425)]

I still believe that its a bit steep in price for both. But you might think otherwise

If you have a discount it will ease the blow.

It sure looks like a leather texture in the picture, but the item model number (89448N) matches the Motorola Protective Portfolio Case that I just picked-up from Best Buy. The one I just bought is definitely NOT leather.

The Case has a smooth, hard plastic frame and Xoom holders, the inside is a dense foam like neoprene, and the outside front and back are a textured rubberized plastic (if that makes any sense).

I am looking at best buy's site right now. Every Best Buy within 10 miles of me (6 or 7 stores) has all of the Xoom accessories in stock and available for in-store pickup today. If they tell me I cannot buy the folio today, I will just go online, order it for in-store pickup and head to the customer service desk to get it, ha.

That's exactly what I did: placed my order last night, received an email today noting that my order was ready for pick-up, and just got back from picking it up.

The leather version at BB is 39.99

I don't believe that there is Motorola leather version. Check the model / item number. If it's 89448N, then it's just the plastic Portfolio Case.

You are correct.

I'm sure that 3rd party cases (including leather ones) will be available very soon, but I want to have my Xoom protected from day one. That's the main reason that I bought this case. The other reason is that I had a $40 BB gift card to use. Otherwise I would have bought it at a VZW store for $30 after a 25% discount.
