Depends how you use/hold it. My missus got this one, it had to be purple....

Does the job fine. Dcent fit to the tablet. No complaints.

We only thend to use it flat or in the shallow wedge form as that's what works best for us. If you want to stand it on a desk to view films then you'll want one that works well that way.

The one you linked looks ok for that. Maybe look at the ones where the angle is adjustable, so you can get the right viewing angle. I have seem some that use velcro to adjust the angle of the wedge, but think that migh be a pain in the ass if opening/closing/adjusting a lot.

I'm on one right now. Had it about 6 weeks. Been really impressed with it, had no issues and done everything that's been asked of it. It actually gets used much more than i thought it would. Mostly used for surfing, e-mail, iplayer, etc, but i also run some mapping apps on here such as Google Earth and MMTracker for memory map, amongst others. The built in gps is good and gets an accurate fix very easily, much better than our HTC phones. The inbuilt sd slot is handy for transfering data from camera, video, etc. Have not used the 3G, been used on wifi only so far.
It's not quite as slick to use as an ipad, but is 99% there and not noticable unless comparing side by side.

only just got it (£250 from Argos), but seems great for what I want it for - kids games etc, surfing t'internet and watching films.

Slightly laggy when flipping the screen, but great for the price.
I also quite like the heavyweight of it.

Wi-fi only here too.

Err, it's a Xoom not a Zoom.

Had mine for about 18 months. Brilliant bit of kit, and for 250 it's hard to go wrong.

The Motorola case is on offer at the moment, and pretty good but can be uncomfortable to hold. I had a leather one which was nicer to hold, but the proper Motorola one has better protection. (though you can't charge with the case closed.

If you think it's laggy, just tap the edge (L or R) of the screen rather than swipe it.

Mine's wifi only, and I just tether it if I need 3g.

Only used wifi tether to my phone to use 3G data allowance from that, which works fine.
