You say the Zagg Slim Book Go offers a better typing experience but "only slightly." That's not enough to overcome the screen vibrating back and forth like crazy when you type (watch your video review of the Zagg). I think that would be annoying. The Zagg seems flimsy compared to the solid Brydge.

Deplorable! Can’t Apple brick stolen devices and render them useless?

Mom jean? Apple's web site talks about "pre-wash hand sanding, pumice stone wash, wet/dry treatments, and a finishing of hand sanding along the edge to create a classic worn-in look and feel." At least they tried. They have a video showing them do it. Maybe a couple of rips revealing the MacBook inside would help. I do agree with other commenters. It is hideous. It would look like you're carrying a pair of jeans. Incase has the same envelope form factor in other materials, and they don't look bad, but denim is an epic fail.

"I’m curious how anyone could use a physical keyboard without a trackpad. It would drive me nuts." The touch screen is the trackpad. Check out Microsoft's Surface Book and Surface Studio. They take a completely different approach.

Love my X, but I miss the big screen. Looking forward to my XS Max.
