I will probably just pocket it as well.

I just don't any case form factor with the exception of the sideways pouch working well at all with the horizontal sliding keyboard.

Usually someone comes out with a case like the metal one I had with my original i730. Although it provided great protection, opening that front door to use the touch screen and slider was simply annoying.

I really liked my Vaja case for my Treo 700, but even it became very bulky after a while.
