It's my understanding that the damage that has happened to Kindles from the Amazon cover was with the first generation of that cover that didn't have the elastic strap that holds the cover closed. I believe that Amazon added that strap to help prevent that problem. Of course if you don't use the strap you could still pick it up the wrong way because the strap is now on the back rather than the front and picking up the cover upside down is what caused the problem in the first place.

I stayed away from the Amazon case for my K2 but I've ordered the Amazon cover for my K3 because that's going to be the only one I'll be able to get before I leave for vacation on 9/4.

I think that this is mostly a non-issue and anyone who is reasonable careful with their things won't have this problem.
