I bought a case for my nearly one month old indigo Neo - I'm impressed with the quality (or at least I am on the first day lol). Here's two pictures of the MBN in the case, and a picture of the keyboard cover which effectively solves the problem that we have been discussing about keyboard visibility on the indigo model. It seems very well built, and the materials are high quality. I like the fabric material on the top. In the box was the case, two (2) silicon keyboard covers and a mousepad.

Is anyone else planning on getting a case for their MBN? They are starting to proliferate on Amazon. One thing this case solves is the fact that the aluminum can be slippery when holding the device - now there's a better grip.

The brand I got is the KAIJIAbox for $31, but there's a growing choice.

I like the keyboard solution but the case is, in my opinion, hideous.
I like the fabric look - very tasteful. The bottom, which has the stand and the holes for heat (I guess lol) is not as nice - but, hey, it's the bottom for crying out loud 🙂
 
Not a big fan of that type of case. I keep my MB in a zippered pouch and slip it out when I need it, slip it back in when I don't. 100% protection when you need it most...which is primarily when you're toting it around from place to place. Besides, why hide the color of your beautiful indigo MBN? My ten cents worth.

Please tell me the make of this keyboard cover as it pears to have the letters and numbers printed on it as opposed to clear ones

For me, the color of the device is important when I first buy it, and then maybe for the next two or three weeks. After that, I sort of forget about the color - So, yes, the indigo is beautiful, but after having it for a month or so, I don't think about it as much as I think about its usefulness and keeping it protected.

I had an iPhone 8 Plus for four years, and got it in the red color - which was a thing Apple was doing to help with Aids, I believe, at that time. I used the phone caseless for about a month, but then cased it up in an Otterbox Defender.
