Yes. The person just needs to be careful.

Just like my iPhone, my rMB will go naked.

I would love to keep my iPhone naked but the one time I dropped my phone because it slipped out of my hands. I find it quite slippery while naked:p

I use a Sedio Surface case which adds almost nothing to the size of the phone yet gives it a nice rubbery feel like the top of an Thinkpad.
 
Sorry guys, my comment reflects the fact that I'm just not buying this being a fragile laptop. I think it's tougher than that. Is it possible to bend it? Of course. Is it going to happen in ordinary use? I'd be absolutely shocked.

It is funny, though, how some people overprotect things. I'm paying a lot of money for the small physical size of the rMB. There's no way I'd make it heavier to carry around. It should be tough enough from the get go for most places.

I keep thinking of the largely hysterical episode with the iP6+. OK, yeah, maybe if you put it in the back pocket of your tight jeans and slam your butt into the hard wood chair at Starbucks you can bend it... :rolleyes: I think people are worrying about this one because it is light, but light and weak are not necessarily the same thing.

I must admit, though, that I did bend my iP6+. I had it in the front pocket of my jeans and went biking. It was warm (why I was wearing a jeans I don't know) and the constant pressure bent it ever so slightly at the volume control buttons. I bent it back but ever since then my speaker sounds bad, like it resonates at certain frequencies . :(

I thought the whole iP6+ bending thing was a hoax. Maybe I was just careless. I thought it could easily handle what I did to it.

Wow. That's a whole different situation. :(
