I can (and do) carry my 3ds in my pocket all the time without fearing the screen scratching and the sticks wearing off, in that point, the 3ds is far superior to the vita, which to me, is more of a luxury item than a portable console, and a item that would force you to have a protector case if you wanted to punish it as a regular portable console, being a portable console user since a long time, I can tell that the clamshell design is the best thing Nintendo has put on their handhelds.

I'll be probably getting a Vita too, but I don't think it's not the kind of thing you take with you in a daily basis, nor you throw it on a backpack while traveling or keep it on your pocket all the time.
