I have not seen anything online but thought I’d ask. Anyone found a rugged case which fits this? Preferably one which accommodates the device in tablet mode?
Are you looking for a hard case? I have used Nanuk cases (B&H Photo has various sizes and styles on sale from time to time) and like them. You can get them with specific types of padding inside, but the “pick and pluck” foam versions can be modified to fit whatever. You just get one with an inside size a bit larger than the device, then modify the interior foam to perfectly fit the laptop.
Oh, and welcome to the community!

Again, just speaking of hard cases, the Nanuk 910 would just fit the FW 12. It’s probably deep enough to hold a small charger and maybe some expansion cards underneath the laptop. If you want something with more space, the 915 is mostly just deeper. The 923 is bit larger overall.
I have no affiliation, but I watch for deals and get one once in a while when they go on sale to hold camera and sound equipment.
The 910 has an interior size of 13.2” by 9.2”. It seems like it’s probably about as small as a case could be and still leave a bit of space for foam, at least the 9.2” dimension. If nothing else, this should give you a reference of how big of a case you will need.

That’s actually pretty cool, but not quite what I’m looking for. I doubt what I want exists as it is likely “nearly impossible” to create, but I’m hoping for something which has the ability to have a wrist strap when it’s in tablet mode. This is a problem if for no other reason than it would cover the keyboard and where does this physical obstruction to the keyboard go when using it like a laptop. Something like the below is what I’m hoping for, but is impractical for previously stated reasons.
My second choice would be something like the below but that would not prevent the framework 12 from folding back on itself for tablet mode. Doubt it exists either, but thought I’d ask
I also doubt it exists, but if you find one, I want one too!
