I'm also in the camp they could have used more minimalistic dock like Sony Vita, equivalent (or smaller) "footprint" to "toaster".
OR simple modification of existing design is soft plastic "bumpers" to ensure dock touches tablet's EDGE and not screen itself.
That is also a possible DIY solution, potentially better than "cloth" which can collect dust/grit which can still scratch screen.
EDIT: Same effect can be had by installing same "bumper" rail on tablet itself to ensure edges "stick up" above screen itself.
EDIT2: That would also protect screen from scratches when you place the tablet face-down on surface while un-docked.
