Not sure what to enter - I 'prefer' to go naked, but having spent £1500 on a device that's so easily scratched I feel I have to protect it with something :-(
Understand. It's not so easily scratched. I think the excitement of posting naked should surpass your worries, but you don't have to naked all the time. That's exactly my point: You want to protect you device when there is chance to scratch it, so, get a good looking, stylish sleeve or soft case. When it is time to use it, on desk, lap whatever, you take it out, go fully naked.
What the folio case bothers me is: the case is used as semi-permanent skin to the Surface. Yes, you can still take it out when use it, but that's not what a folio case is designed for. PLUS, there are two way a folio case can hold the Surface: a frame or a elastic straps. Neither way make the device look good. I can tell you one thing for truth, those icrap owners barely have a chance to look at their devices the entire life. They are trapped in the case. How sad is that? It's like you bought something to admire, but you wrap it in not so good clothes for the life. Image your Surface is your girl friend.
