In addition to the aspect of protecting both the front glass and the back aluminum (which I care less about, though it's nice to see that it's still in such good shape when I pull it out of my case), there is also the aspect of being at least somewhat covert. I often carry my iPad around tucked under my arm. It would be a little too easy a target if it was so easily recognizable. By having it in a folio type case, it blends in a bit, making it less of a target for a would-be thief who happens to be walking by.
Also, I've been looking at the cases that have been announced, too. I'm thinking seriously about the BooqPad case. The one major downside I see with this case is the lack of a hole for the back camera. But for me, the business card pockets and the "ticket" pocket would be exceptionally useful. I'd probably get rid of the pad and just use the top/bottom pocket to keep some additional stuff.
If there were a folio case that had pockets like these and a hole for the rear facing camera, I'd be sold on that so fast...
