Hah, agressive autocorrect on my Dixons mention there
The case FINALLY turned up today, the Navitech cheap one. It arrived on the last possible day according to Amazon which means they took ages to post even allowing for bank holidays.
The case is fine for the price. It is a bit baggy around the top and bottom of the screen but doesn't interfere with the touch screen. There's holes for all the xoom ports so you can charge and use without removing it.
I guess it'll feel safer with the screen and case covered when I'm moving it about, but the corners are barely protected against droppage.
On the plus side, the lid folds backwards and a magnetised flap folds out as a foot much like a picture frame, to hold it upright nicely.
I am happy with it.
