So I actually use my Note 10.1 at work.. I have the Belkin leather case, and carry the tablet around like a small notebook and use it for note taking at meetings. I noticed the soft plastic backing when I bought the tablet and was rather annoyed by it at first. However, I think I now see the logic in that type of material for the back..
When I write notes, I use the wrist rejection a LOT. I write on my tablet exactly as I would on a notepad, with the full weight of my wrist on the screen while scribbling away, and I believe that was how the Note 10.1 was imagined being used with the S-Pen. However, you don't want the glass to absorb that kind of weight over a prolonged time. Therefore, I'm pretty sure that the soft, pliable backing is there to absorb that extra weight.
Now, I'm not exactly trying to defend Samsung nor its reputation for horrible build quality, but I think this is something worth considering as a possible explanation for this specific type of material.
Thoughts?
