I don't know how long you guys are planning to keep your phone for, but I've seen so many people spend like crazy money on accessories on top of your device. eg.
$500 for the Fuze
$30 for bodyguardz protector (i want to buy just 1 piece for the back cover... but they don't sell it separately... can anyone draw me a pattern of that piece?)
$30 for an Innocase Surface - Black
$50 for a 16GB microSD
$30 for TV out cable
.... etc
By experience with the Tilt, I've only kept the phone for 10 months. In average, I change phone every years... and not all of those accessories will fit on your next phone. So why spending so much on something that you'll get rid off soon?
This is just out of curiosity, no finger pointing or judgment... I think it's fun to see who's the biggest spender here.
As for me, here are what I've spent so far on my Fuze
$550 for my Fuze
$10 for an N95 Case with wallet (which fit the phone nicely)
$15 for an 8GB microSD, Class 6 Trenscend
$10 for a desktop charger + extra battery
$15 for the rubber back cover on expansys
$10 for a stylus with Ballpoint Pen... but I'm still waiting, it should costs around $5 once it hit eBay.
----For a total of $600----
and i find this is quite expensive for a new phone. Hopefully in a few months I'm still able to sell the phone for a good price. I only buy what I really need.
$200 for Fuze via Amazon
$50 for 16gb SanDisk MicroSD
$8 for leather side flip case w/ magnetic latch
LOTS of freeware and recycled apps from my 8525
Fuze--Free
8gb san disk--35.00
Leather case-- Free
Seidio Innocase holster and surface--Free
T.v Out --30.00
Special Orange AT&T Sim--Free
Bodyguardz--Free
So a total of 65.00
so far $199 for my Fuze and nothing else. Looking to get a case and a screen protector as I already had an 8 GB card.
Fuze--$400 on Craigslist
Seidio Innocase --$30
Screen Protectors --$10
$300 for Fuze
$10 for Case on ebay
$18 for 8gb card through online deal
so far.....
Where are the big boys?
$350, officially, for the Fuze. No contract, employee purchase. Subtract $50 for AT&T gift cards earned through sales program. Ditto for the SDHC's.
Phone (Net): $300
8GB MicroSD: $0
Total: $300
The Tilt lasted me 7 months. The E71 was my main phone for ~4 months. Hopefully this one will actually last me until the next HTC flagship lands on AT&T.
Fuze:150 with 150 rebate through Justtalk.com
Fuze:Free- net price
8gb kingston class 4
with extra mini Usb adapter: $20
Screen/body cover: $10 (still in mail)
Usb or bluetooth stereo headset: TBA when i find a good one. would love some recomedations on either one.
$400 - Fuze - No contract
$15 - 2 1340 Mah OEM batteries
$15 - Video Out Cable
$18.50 - Invisible Shield
Planning on selling in December when I am eligable for an upgrade, where I will snag the latest phone from HTC.
1 Fuze $399 - No contract.
1 Fuze $199 - 2 yr. contract.
Everything else I already had.

I have acquired many friends in the wireless industry over a 13 year career, and I take care of them and they take care of me. By the way you should see all the free stuff I received when I was at the CES show.

Mostly Shirts, Hats, Pens, Golf Balls, promo stuff. Then there is the cool stuff like the wireless induction charger, car chargers, cases, gift certificates from restaurants, Atomic clock, Rugged Bluetooth earpiece, Jump Drives, Lazer Pointers. The all you can eat and drink party from NOKIA. Oh yea and the IPHONE that was live and I went to jailbreakme.com on ( that was funny ). And the whole trip was complements of my employer and all you FINE at&t customers. Keep paying that bill so i can get ripped at CTIA.
Here is some more, I hooked the Nintendo dude up with a refurb tilt and boy did he hook me up.

It's true - I was in Staples on last Friday and was able to pick up the wall charger and dock for the prices quoted above.
thanks for this
I also got the Dock for $12.50 and was in Staples today and the WiFi unit is $299. I already have a GED Xoom thou. Way better than getting SCREWED with their Crappy XYBOARD.
Hey thanks for this. I just got one from my staples for 299.99 with an extra 5% off for floor model. Now I found your coupon Ill get that $50 back and hopefully they have the accessories you listed too!!!
Edit: Returned it.
I just got back from my local Staples. The only one they had left was a return from a couple of months ago. Perfect condition. They gave me an extra 5% off for being open box so with the coupon it came out to $235 + tax!
got one today in nyc for 239 with tax included. its my 3rd xoom and this one iam keeping
I just went into my local staples and nothing was on sale? I even checked the website and everything was full price?

For even more savings the standard dock is $9.99 at Verizon Wireless corporate stores. The HD speaker dock is $19.99 but I haven't been able to locate one.

I traveled to Germany. Not so cheap there, especially gas price. If you close I'll give one to you.

The Canadian Staples stores also seem to be selling the accessories on sale but not as cheap.
The Charge dock, normally 49.99, I picked up for 14.97
I did find the car travel charger for 5 dollars in a clearance bin too.

Have a spare, sent mine back twice and got a charger each time.
i have an extra one
Go buy a charging dock from Verizon. It includes a standard charger and they are on clearance right now for $9.97. Even if you don't use the dock it'd chapter than just buying the charger which for some reason is still $30. I also heard Staples had Xoom accessories on sale for super cheap.

I can't use eBay looking for someone with an extra for sale

I have one but it probably wouldn't be worth it to you by the time shipping costs are included. As stated, just go to a Verizon store and get one for 10 bucks.

Got one from the vzn store!! Thanks man. Dock for $15 and leather folio case for the same price

I know the OP was able to grab what they needed from Verizon, but for others who may be looking, another option is the HD Speaker Dock. If you can FIND one, they're going for $20 new from Verizon as clearance (prolly to make room for the Xyboard accessories). I went in person to a VW store and lucked out, getting the last one they had. I don't think (not willing to try it) you can plug the more powerful power source straight into the Xoom itself as an alternative to using the dock, but I have to say having the HDMI port in the back of the dock and the speakers is pretty nice, at $20 a pop.
I picked up a couple at a local Staples for $1.50 each. I have one extra I don't really see using.
If you're local in central CT I'd happy to give it away to someone who would use it.

Actually, its for less than $20, and I just got mine yesterday for $14.98 only, free 2-day shipping.
BoxWave has a bunch of Galaxy Note 2 cases on sale on Amazon. I've got a few of them, and they're all good quality. The cases are anywhere from $5 - $10 shipped depending on the case.
Use the promo code NOTE2SLE at the checkout screen.
