Different Types of Accessories for the Motorola Xoom
When shopping for accessories, most people do not know the difference between OEM accessories and aftermarket accessories. OEM accessories are usually sold by the same company that sold you the XOOM, such as Best Buy, Verizon, and more. Although not all of these accessories are necessary, some of them are nice to have.
Aftermarket accessories are those that you can purchase in any store or online and are listed as compatible with your device. A good example of frequent aftermarket accessories include ear buds, cases, screen protectors, styli, and occasionally batteries. While some of these accessories are perfectly fine to use with your device, there are a few that you should avoid as they could potentially void your warranty if you experience any problems during use.
Using a weak aftermarket battery or charger with your tablet is not recommended because if the device has a power failure, it might not be covered under warranty. This is especially true if the aftermarket battery has caused corrosion or has done damage to the device through leakage. The best way to prevent this from happening to your Motorola Xoom is by only using OEM batteries and chargers, as if something happens to the device with these, then Motorola is obligated to replace it as the accessories were official Motorola accessories.
In the case of other accessories, such as choosing a case, you are safe in using aftermarket accessories. Because the quality of these cases may differ greatly, purchase one online if only the case got great reviews from customers. Cases made from leather tend to be more expensive but provide more protection than cloth of vinyl cases, so keeping this in mind when choosing a case can help you pick one that will last for the life of your device without needing to be replaced.
Other accessories that are perfectly safe to use from aftermarket companies include screen protector packages. Screen protectors can come in packages of 3 or 5 and offer great protection from everyday use with your device. With an aftermarket stylus pen, the device becomes much easier to use. Good aftermarket screen protectors should not have any adhesive backing on them to make for a clean removal. They should be thick enough to efficiently protect the device, but not that thick to prevent easy functionality. A good way to judge whether or not screen protectors will provide the protection you need without affecting the use of the device is by comparing the thickness of the screen protector to paper. If it is any thicker than a piece of standard white paper, your device performance could be affected. Otherwise, it should be fine to use without performance loss.
