It's the 'more give' of plastic casings that cause the screen to break. Give me sturdy, please.
When the screens are plastic, then I might consider a plastic case. As long as the screens are glass, I'll stick with the Sony.
YMMV, of course.

My mileage certainly would vary, since I wouldn't dream of carrying around a reader that wasn't in a decent protective cover, for precisely that type of eventuality.
