@PerfectDark Wow, this is... uhm... ... ... wow...
What a strange idea for a handheld. 😆
I think I'd still prefer a flip where the screen is on the inside though. If you stick this in a pocket the screen isn't actually protected. To me that's more important than that it be a small minimal thing for music/etc. Though, I suppose if you look at it more as a MP3 player, ebook player, etc etc where you might not care if the screen gets scratched, it comes out ahead for that.
The case is really nice, and there’s a screen protector to put on there, but I will be VERY interested in seeing everyone’s Rotate after 6 months or so!
I’m that weirdo who kinda loves wear and tear on metal devices though. It shows they’ve been well loved!
@PerfectDark I don't mind wear and tear on the casing, just on the screen.
Thing is, I've had scratches happen even on tempered glass screens before. So I'm a little bit more paranoid than most. (I've also had a PDA come out of a pocket with the screen completely busted and broken beyond use before, but I'll admit that's less applicable to modern screens probably. Still, it's a thing...)
I will always love the clamshell design of the NDS/DSi and 3DS the most personally. I wouldn't mind seeing a PSP/Vita style design where something just flips over to protect the screen mind you. That can work with almost anything, but no one does it. Still, the clamshell offers extra thickness and flexibility so it really is the best design for a pocket.

Not protected? Take its name as a hint and turn it around to face your leg, instead. Boom. Solved.
