What design?
A 10 inch screen inside a rectangular frame with smooth rounded edges?
Let's be frank, that is not what I would call a patentable design (in terms of style/fashion). Otherwise, anyone could patent a cube of any size, or any shape with nothing at all special, whose anyone could argue for intellectual property...
However, I agree that what is mostly questionable with such a silly case is the acceptance of such a patent in the first place.
Probably Samsung should just play "brute-force" here; the market will choose (even if it involves to pay a fine). As I understood, it is what's happening in Australia.
Note: what I would call fairly patentable designs from Apple is, e.g., the stylised Apple, which is the way the brand is known. And maybe some of the particularities of the unibody case, even if that is questionable (some manufacturing innovation regarding this would be more understandable).
