Using a device that weighs only sixteen ounces in a cover seems to defeat the purpose. A bit of rubberized coating on the back would have been sweet.
The trend towards "thinner" devices *is* getting ridiculous. I don't want to curl up with a piece of sheet metal. The tactile experience is important. I will be looking for a softer cover, maybe leather if it's light enough.
