The glass sub-strata of the screen will break if any of the readers are bent. Usually this happens when a jumble of things are placed on top of it. If the object pressing down on it is sharp and pressing somewhere near the corner, you are effectively applying two force multipliers to that pressure.
Two solutions:
1) Any case that keeps the reader somewhat rigid and can 'blunt' the sharpness of intruding objects. I got a bog-standard gate-fold cover, but now find I would have preferred an envelope-style slip pouch, since I like to read it bare-back (the reader, not myself).
2) The best solution is a jacket with a copious inside pocket. There's no chance of the reader bending, since your body's keeping it rigid. A laptop bag would work just as well. Having observed the state of most ladies' handbags ... I think this would be virtually as bad as a rucksack, unless the reader was alongside a hard-back book - and that sort of defeats the object of having a reader, n'est pas?
