rooCASE Executive Portfolio (Grey Graphite) Leather Case Cover with Landscape / Portrait View for Mo

I ordered this because I'm in a business environment and thought this would be perfect. The material quality is excellent and it looks very professional. I absolutely cannot complain there. The biggest downfall is the access to the power button. You either have to remove it from the velcro board or reach your finger around and push the button. It's a tad awkward when your tooling around trying to find the power button with your finger in a business meeting. There is no quick on access for this case (Xoom is to blame here to for there stupid placement of the power button). Lastly, the velcro that holds the the Xoom in the case is to weak. Gravity causes the Xoom to begin to slip down making the home button in accessible. It's a simple fix to flip the case around 180 before attaching it to the velcro backing but I thought I would point this out.

Update: Manufacturer/Seller contact me within hours of my generating an RMA. They clarified that the black case does not have the velcro issue and offered to give me a black one as an exchange. Very impressed by the customer service quality. Since I already ordered another one, I declined the generous offer. They also indicated that design change was being made to address the issue of velco noted below. I would consider buying V2 in the future.

Original Review:

It is much better than the Motorola case in many aspects, but I found the following problems that irritated me enough to return it and try another slim leather case sold on amazon. Slim.

The velco that hold the xoom in the smaller leather case (the one that goes into the big case) is not strong/sticky enough. After about 30 seconds of use the whole xoom slides down enough to cover the bottom buttons on the screen. After about 5 minutes of use the xoom simply slides down. Luckily I was sitting the bed and mine didn't break due to the fall. Tried carrying the xoom without the inner leather case and it just bounced around a lot. If the velcro was stronger, I would have probably kept it and overlooked some of the other minor dislikes.

The side leather covering is too wide, it covers right up to the edge of the screen, which is prefect for protection, but when I am using the browser in full screen mode and want to invoke the "Quick Controls" it makes it a little difficult.

The flap that props case up at 45 degrees is not strong enough, it bows under weight of the case + Xoom and sometimes flip shut, dropping the case flat.

The velcro at the back of the inner case (circular patches) are strong, a little too big and awkward against the fingers, specially if you want to use it as a reader.

It is rather bulky. Probably because it is built with good quality leather and good quality zipper, etc, that adds considerable bulk to the whole thing. If you want to enjoy th slimness of the Xoom, not the right case. Some people like the protection on a $600 or $800 item, some people prefer the skinniness of the Xoom, to each their own.

On the plus side:

The case is built well and if you are going to carry only your xoom, a few business cards, a pen (or stylus) and 2 sheets of paper, it is great. Protects the screen very well. Though I don't know if it is TSA approved. I have a neoprene case that I have been using prior to this one and I don't have to take the Xoom out of the neoprene to go through airport security. Not sure if the leather one would be allowed.

The leather, zipper switching of highest quality I have seen on any case

The color quality is great.

The xoom can be placed at all 4 angles 0/90/180/360 such that for charging I can just open a slit on the zipper.

Definitely worth the price.

Let me first say that overall I'm pleased with the case overall, it fits very well and looks great with east access to all ports and when its sealed in hits binder youbwouldnt know its anything more than a notepad.

I am a little frustrated with a few things.

First (my fault for not reading more carefully) the pictures looked black or at least a darker grey. I would much prefer the back version and may even order it seperately.

Second I don't know if it needs to be broken in but like many other reviews for other Xoom cases the Xoom doesn't seem to slide far enough in. For the most part thus isn't a big deal but it does partially obscure the front facing camera at times.

Finally I have to remove the case to put in on my Motorola dock, but I think this is true for any case so far except the terrible Motorola portfolio.
