I have both the portfolio case and the silicone case. On a daily basis I use the silicone case. When traveling I'll use the portfolio case, although, I agree it's not really the best design.
The OEM portfolio case does not block the speaker or the back camera - there is a cutout that goes across that area. But I agree - it's pretty bulky, and the inside of the cover is a little fuzzy - so when I open it up my screen is fuzzy too. The portfolio would be okay if you were going to set it up to watch vids or something, but when I use the Kindle app it's bulky to hold. Having said that - I love my Xoom.
Around the house I don't use a case. I do put it in the Folio Case when I take it with me though. I don't like scratches on my devices if I can avoid it.
I use the silicone case around the house and folio when I go to work or somewhere else I'm taking it. I agree, it needs to be protected out in the big bad scary world.
