Hello guys
I have recurring problem with the Folio Case for our Edge 30 Pro.
I'm talking about fabric case from Motorola, with Folio windows for AOD option, and stylus + stylus back pocket for wireless charging it.
I use Moto since May 2022. Until now, I have second Folio Case, given by my seller. Both of them have same issue, cracking corners and loose holding to Phone themself.
In this case, I want to ask you:
[1] Do you use your Motorola Folio Cases?
[2] If yes, do you recognize same or similar issue to mine?
Actually I have Open discussion with Motorola/Lenovo Europe about guaranty process by "factory defect" or "material defect in product". See, what will I can do.
Please, share your Xperience
Best regards for best comunnity

Hello!
Yes, same issue here. I reached the Lenovo/Moto support and they refunded me.
Then I purchased a new one, and I'm extra careful with it. I never extract the device from it, since I guess the corners crack when removing/inserting the device multiple times.
Would be nice to find a 3rd party folio case with a Stylus holder!
BTW, did you notice a slow wireless charging with the Folio case, or is it just my impression?
Thanks!

Hi @dielle27
Thanks for you reply. Actually I can't get refund, becuase My Edge 30 Pro was sold me in one-pack, as one position in invoice. Well, in this case, refund amount is undetermined. Bad
I want to buy a new one so much... but, in my country, Folio Case isn't able to separate Sale.
Anyway, I don't know if this solution will help, because I was very careful with actual 2st. of Folio cases, and it crack happened. I never extract Edge from case too, without serious reason, only once when I change Case to a new one.
And you have absolutely right, there should be 3rd party option to buy other case with a Stylus holder, maybe made from other, more elastic material, not that hard as a original one.
PS. I can't tell you anything about slow wireless charging, becuase I only use wire charging. Only my Moto Stylus use wireless charging while in holder, of course
Best regards and thank you for reply @dielle27

Same here. Got my phone and folio two weeks ago, now three corner are cracked, from using the phone lightly around the house. I got the phone and case directly from Lenovo Sweden, trying to get hold of them to resolve this.
In Australia I can't find the folio case anywhere.
Quick update.
After tons of email and light-years of discussion with my local district of Motorola, and escalate this to father-company, Lenovo, I get warranty ticket month ago, send my full damaged and useless Folio case to company, and yesterday, without any announce, I get new, shiny and tasty Folio Case for Edge 30 Pro!
Corners seems a little thicker, but I'll see how long it hold in one piece this time. Wish me years, this time

I just spoke to some folks at Seidio today and they notified me that their system has a note that the Tilt 2 for AT&T will never be produced as per their Product Management team.
This is an incredible let-down for myself, and I find it hard to believe that they can't just modify the case currently for the HTC Touch Pro 2 to allow for the PTT key, and sell everyone that case regardless of your service provider.
Anyways, if anyone but myself was waiting on this case,I guess we need to find something else which is a shame.
I was waiting for this case also. I emailed them weeks ago and the return email was on the line that they are in the process of developing products for the tilt 2. So yes, this news is disappointing.
My suggestion, don't spend the extra money for a half-baked case. There are PLENTY of alternatives out there on ebay. I have one and it's wonderful and cost about 1/10 of what any of these "upscale" brands charges.
Sorry, forum was messed up.
Yes, I purchased one of those and it did not come close to fitting my Tilt 2.
For those of us with a Dremel and too much time on our hands, is it possible to mod the Seidio case to a near OEM look. Seems like taking about 3/8 of an inch off the PTT side would be golden. Opinions?
I'm not personally interested in having to pay so much money to "make do".
What I've personally decided to try is the Seidio holster that works with out phone, and a GadgetShieldz full body protection. I was actually really impressed with how this phone looked and didn't want to hide it, so this might be a good compromise.
I use a hard case I found on ebay for about $9. It works wonders, combined with a holster side pouch I bought on the street in NYC for $5. Total $14.
MUCH less than anything Seidio wants to charge.
Just had live chat with Seidio and this is the result.
Angela: hello
Customer74: hello
Customer74: Will you be making the innocase for the tilt 2?
Angela: Yes, we will be, but we don't have an exact ETA yet.
Customer74: Thank you.
Angela: You're very welcome. Is there anything else I can assist you with?
Customer74: Not at this time, thank you.
I had a long chat with them within a day of the original post and they emphatically stated that they were not making it. Who knows....
methinks they're messing with you.
I spoke with them on the phone today (as apposed to the chat like last time) and they again told me that it was not going to be released. I was unable to get any more details.
By the time they get around to making it, it will be like wanting to buy a case for the original tilt - there will be another phone out all off us are moving to =P
I am afraid you are right.

I just applied the GadgetShield a few hours ago and it's already looking great!
Going to wait until tomorrow to try placing it into the case - after feeling the new rubbery skin of the phone (which looks great) I'm not sure it will work together.
When I talked to them in early Dec, they told me at the end of Dec. :-(
Is it possible to use the Touch Pro II case and let it just cover up the other button?
I saw the post regarding modification, just wondering if its possible to ignore the button all together.
I had this case for my original tilt and hated it.
Going with a full phone gadget shield and then a slide-leather case.
the bulkiness of the innocase is just too much for me.
Greetings all,
I saw this auction, and am honestly surprised I haven't seen anyone bring it up here. I'm honestly curious about it (specifically, how tight it fits), so I'm wondering if anyone is willing to bite? I already bought a different case through the same seller, so I'm strapped to purchase another one, but if someone picks this up and reviews it, I wouldn't mind selling my current one for this bad boy.
Anyone??
When I bought my G-Tablet it came with this case/keyboard combo. Here are some quick thoughts on it:
-its a great combo and does exactly what it needs to do
-build quality of the case is pretty good, materials feel a tad cheap
-stand on the back is VERY useful, held to the case with a magnetic enclosure
-tabs that hold the tablet in place are metal, tablet is held loosely in place on 3 of the four sides, it IS possible that it could slide out if you carry it wrong
-hidden magnet in the "spine" holds the USB plug in place
-keyboard keys are a little small, some keys are tightly crammed into the bottom right hand corner (. , / and shift plus direction arrows)
If anyone has any specific questions, just send me a PM.
Notice the tablet they are showing is not the Gtablet
You can buy these on Amazon for about the same price, if you don't want to mess with an auction.
I ordered one and it was shipped really quickly. It is about worth what you pay for it. It feels a little cheap, but the keyboard seems well-made and sturdy. The keyboard works perfectly fine (Vegan) and it is pretty easy to get it hooked up. The only potential problem I see with it is that there is nothing other than the clasp at the top to hold it in. I certainly wouldn't turn it upside down.

I mean granted. But they had the other G Tablet case that doesn't have the G Tablet shown in pics, and one of the XDA board members showed it off, and it's a nice, snug fit.
i purchased this case directly from the sellers website. i used it often. it is china-based, so i did wait about 30 days for delivery.
i am completely satisfied with it given the price.
Do not buy
This case looks and feels really cheap. It is made from shiny plastic. You will have to remove the metal tab that is on the left side of this case to access the USB port. It doesn't hold the gTab secure at all, it will slip around a lot. The keyboard is plastic and not silicone so it will constantly rub against the screen.
There's already a thread here that people have been discussing this case for months and it is a piece of junk.
Ordered and returned two of these
Each case with keyboard I ordered was defined as specifically made for the Gtab, but in order to use the usb port, I had to bend the left tab out of the way. Each vendor did issue a refund.
I thought the case was ok, and the keyboard worked fine. But having to adjust the tab was unacceptable.
I' m patiently waiting for the bluetooth keyboard and case to arrive at electroniccrap.com.

i got it . keyboard works very well . But tablet doesn't fit tight and you need an other cable to connect from keyboard's cable to g-tablet's usb ^^ it's not really good
Here is a video review of this case made by moi.
Before you roll on the floor laughing at my Asian accent, damn it I'm trying the best I can.
Ok, here it is.
I recieved mine from Amazon a few days ago. Tablet didn't fit in it at all until I bent the Tabs in to hold it better. And you still have to be careful that it doesn't fall out the end. Turns out I don't think I'll use it that much at all anyway, since I mostly use my tablet on the job site. Unless you REALLY need a keyboard, you're better off spending a couple of bucks and download thumb keyboard.

Bluetooth keyboard support is "iffy", at best. Good luck though.
I have one that I got a few days ago from Amazon.
I am not having any problem with it fitting correctly, so it may be that they are just not very consistent.
You do have to be careful about it sliding out the one side when carrying it around and the one clasp does cover the small USB in port for connecting to a computer.
In my case the USB cable had no problem reaching.
The kick stand is a nice feature.
All in all am find it useful but it does have some short coming, so it would not be for everyone, and there are probably better ones out there, though for the price and am happy with this unit so far.
Case/keyboard on Amazon
Newbie here. Got my gtab a week ago and have been looking at this case/keyboard combo. Am I crazy? I thought these were $30-$35 a few days ago. Now $127.50?????
[I tried to post the link ..... but newbies can't.]
THAT ...... is no bargain.
And a big thank you to all who post the good info here!
I just received mine from an Amazon seller...they said it was the Gtab model...
It doesn't work. I plugged it in...can't figure out how to get it to work.
Anybody have any ideas?

Did you plug it in before booting up the tablet? It seems to not work sometimes if you plug it in after the tablet is already booted up.
Just got this case. nothing but praise:

That worked...I now have a G-TableTop
I got one of these but it was the one marked for Apad/Epad/Gtab so needless to say it doesnt fit exactly but it wasnt a big deal. I am not having to many problems with the case in any way infact my stylus clips on the band quite nicely. I have noticed that the caps lock doesnt seem to work but thats another issue for another day.
Anybody find another case?
Been checking this thread and I am wondering if anyone has found a good keyboard/case? I would appreciate a link if you have found one. Thanks.
I received my MiniSuit Portfolio on Saturday.. It is a very nice case, very well made. Yes - it adds bulk but if you can't tell that when you ordered it then you didn't look at the pictures . It's a tri fold so of course it will add bulk, plus the leather. It is obviously very functional, and the side that holds a business card can probably hold a few pieces of paper but otherwise too much or it will just get entirely too fat..
OK, so the obvious things aside..... Here come the constructive criticisms. I'm a little concerned with the fit. The leather covers the bezel so when you dock it, it is really, really really tight.. I wonder if it puts "stress" on the fit of the dock and tablet.. The part that holds the dock snaps on.. It has little strap on the top corners, and when you add those it added and even tighter fit.. If you leave them off, and the dock slides down quite a bit when you are using it.
After only one day's use, the parts of the leather that go between the tablets and dock are pretty scuffed up.
Since the dock snaps off, I thought I'd be able to use the case for just the tablets if I didn't have the dock. Well I CAN, but the magnetic closer is part of the tri-fold that is on the dock portion, and so unless you have that part (even if it's empty), then the cover is very "flappy" (which is OK, so just fyi).
In all fairness, I am calling MiniSuit tomorrow. I need to get ask about another part of my order anyway (a different case, different purpose). This portfolio case is also ever so slightly "off" center enough that the camera is partially covered up (yes I've tried moving it several times but it still settles into the same place) I don't think that is normal, my friend's case is aligned perfectly.. So maybe this one is just a little warped overall.
I'm definitely giving MiniSuit benefit of doubt here, I am sure they will replace this one anyway since he camera hole is off center. Perhaps they can explain the width of the the leather between the tablets and dock. It's late and I can't remember ever seeing a "spec" for that. All I know is that it is really small.
I've include some insanely detailed pictures for reference if anyone would like to see what I'm talking about
EDIT:.. Pics will have to come another time, gallery not cooperating

I just installed one of these covers on my wife's Prime and the camera on the rear is way off to one side also. And there are a few blems and over glues on the cover. I am not happy with this product. Let us know what you find out. I bought mine through Amazon so I am not sure what is my next step.........Thanks......
Ok, I talked to them and they were really great. They are sending me a replacement (and a prepaid label to return the one I have). They offered me a choice of replace or partial refund but I want to try a replacement. I told them I had photos of the camera port and the way the pictures came out and they very nicely asked if I wouldn't mind sending those in and thanked me in email for doing so.
I didn't not ask them about the leather being a bit thick (for my liking) or it getting scuffed already. I've read the reviews on Amazon and I don't really see anyone else mentioning this or thinking it's a problem. I'm hoping some folks on here get theirs in so we can see if there is a "space" difference between the og and Prime and maybe that is why it's not mentioned?
I think that is going to have to be a judgement call on my part. Dangit - if they had just made the bottom part hold the tablet with nice straps it would be fine, but the fact that it scuffed leather after one day ... seems to me like it is too tight. On the other hand......my friend looked at it, said he thought it looked fine and that it was leather - it would "break in" and flex. If I thought I would ALWAYS have the dock with it, I might be tempted to cut the dang leather off the bottom, but you can't really do that or the tablet will fall out with the dock gone. If I keep it, I might end up rigging it after a while anyway
Like I said - it's a nice case, very functional, it does add bulk, but anything we get that carries both will do that.
Ok...pictures. I used a toothpick for reference, you all have one of those and can tell for yourselves how far on will go in the small space between tablet and dock
Yeah, the case didn't fit my tablet and dock perfectly either. But their customer support is nothing short of amazing. I just emailed them, showed them a photo of the problem and they are sending me a replacement (they shipped it the same day I contact them). Should be getting it soon. Best thing yet is they don't even need me to return my defective unit.

Same here - they shipped it out and I have a tracking number the same day I called.
I didn't think they wanted the defective one back either, but in their email they wrote " A prepaid label will be included with your shipment for the defect". So.....I guess they want it back. Which is fine of course. I'm just not sure what they will do with it cuz I really don't think they are going to use it to make any changes or anything.
Well, I got my replacement. They did not end up sending a pre-paid return label so they don't want the defective one back apparently.
However the new one is worse than the first one as far as the camera port hole goes. It is obviously cut VERY wrong. So now both have been off very far towards the flash, covering parts of the camera lens. I realize i wont be using my camera very often, but I have noticed that it's rarely "planned" when I DO want to use the camera.
I also still have a big concern about the leather being so think between the dock and tablet. If everything else were perfect, I would likely rig it. I'd probably just cut it off. This would really only present a problem if you were to have the tablet without the dock because the tablet could slip out of the case with the having that section secured, but I'd just not use that case without the dock then (I have several other cases)
This is the perfect case for the combo, but it is flawed
Funny thing is - I received my other Minisuite case and LOVE it!! The ports and camera holes are perfect. It's the 360 degree rotating one (does not accommodate dock). I think, obviously, all these cases that look the same are made by some company in China, and then stamped by companies here. But for some reason the template they used for the nice leather keyboard/tablet combo is just not right.
Pretty much my experience, I do not believe they had an actual Prime in hand when they designed this case. Not pleased overall and waiting for better options.
Well, this happend sometime ago but i figured i'd share it just in case.
so, i dropped the stylus pen (for the hunderdth time or so) and it fell directly on the nib, cracking it almost into two halfs.
i started looking for replacements nibs. HTC had no idea what i was talking about, and after a short search i found this:
https://store.motioncomputing.com/TABproducts.asp?SolutionCatID=95&LevelID=3&TabID=1
i have no idea why or how htc, thinkpad and this guys all have the same pens but they are the only ones selling nibs.
i purchased the 5 for 13 kit, got it after a while from a friend living in the states. (shipping is ridiculously expensive out of the USA).
the replacement took about a second, you simply yank one out, and shove the new one back inside.
it's not the original color, but it works just the same.
so incase anyone else should encounter a destructive fall - its a solution.
Hello all,
I have still the spigen slim armour view, but the door is broken at the hinge. This happend after a few months use. You know this problem. The case could be a good one, if Spigen would have fixed that failure, as soon as it was known shortly after market launch. But nothing has happened. So, I don't want to buy another one, as long as Spigen does not want to fix it. And right now they want crazy 60 USD in their web for this not perfect case.
I only want a case, which activates the phone, when you open it. S-view function is not important to me. Do you know a case like that?
Or do you know, how to prepare a different case by taking the chip and magnet, and putting it into that other restistant case?
Maybe I am not the only one looking for that.
See you,
Moon

There's an app also aviable for regular flip covers. Uses the proximity sensor, unlocks device as soon as it's opened. But with my memory I can not remember the name of it lol. Will edit post as soon as I recall the name
