Wow, walking it back from systemd!
Everyone hates it but so much of the stuff in Linux is now built around that, so much corporate FOSS contribs behind it.

I hope they put out a good case(I hear that they were giving them away if you had an order in at some FOSS convention). I always look for the most military grade bulletproof cover, I even found an otterbox for my N900 which is still old nokia-grade admantium. I also like to put on a second layer of glass protection on the front.
I am the kind of guy who wrecks phones and watches frequently.
