It is proposed that the `bare' strange matter stars might not be bare, and the observed pulsars might be in fact the `bare' strange stars. As intensely magnetized strange matter stars rotate, the induced unipolar electric fields would be large enough to construct magnetospheres. This situation is very similar to that discussed by many authors for rotating neutron stars. Also, the strange stars with accretion crusts in binaries could act as x-ray pulsars or x-ray bursters. There are some advantages if pulsars are `bare' strange stars.
