I dunno. I think the solution space is extremely constrained. What else is there for these devices other than some variation of rectangles and radii. I swing the other way, I want more choices with greater variance. If you want something rugged that won't fly out of your hand but also reasonably spec'd, your choices are limited. Forget anything from Apple. Ok, you can have a ruggedised case as a clip-on-around extra, but if you want a rugged case with bigger battery and a physical keyboard, forget it. Today's designs are extremely limited, it's all just a scale of progressively more fragile until you're buying something that looks more like jewellery or a display-case item. Fine China even. And! The goal posts keep moving. You look at new devices, find something you like and think "okay, I can probably afford a secondhand one of those from two years ago" - nope, doesn't exist. And the same applies in reverse: You like the device from two years ago, and are prepared to splurge on new: NOPE! They don't make that combination any more. It's like a dystopian choose your own adventure. You can choose from any of the following one bullshit option. Maybe I'm just a malcontent.
