The screen itself is inset, so having a pen in the case should not matter as it may touch the frame, but not the book itself. I have dropped my reader, put it uncovered in my handbag and carried it around all day, without incident. I did purchase a case (the one that holds pens), so I now am more careful.
I don't hear much about broken reader screens after a fall etc as much as broken screens that seem to be a manufacturing defect--suddenly, without provocation, the screen looks wonky.
