One of the things that struck me while they were doing the "fashion demo" was that if they made it symmetric (even with just a plastic facade on the other side), it'd be a lot more pleasing to look at. I'm sure we'll see styles like that.

I disagree. Asymmetry has for a long time been a staple of fashion:

Google may or may not be able to propel Glass into being a fashion icon - but if they fail I really don't think the device being asymmetrical will have anything to do with it.
I agree. However, G-Glass is a bigger cross between fashion and tech than regular smartphones.
IMHO the G-Glass should just be a monitor+camera for your phone. I think manufacturing it will be much easier and the the size of the system will be smaller which will allow people use G-Glass without anyone even noticing. Like people can go buy regular sunglasses for $100 and the G-Glass version would cost i don't know $200.
