I'm not sure what you think will 'crack.' If you are sloppy trying to hit the slots in the plastic case, you might force a crack, I suppose, but it certainly wouldn't be a functional crack. My perception is that the covers are for traveling protection, not for everyday use and handling. In fact, trying to use the K3 with the cover on eliminates (for me) the ability to hold it in one hand and turn pages while holding a cup of coffee in the other hand.
I think that if I wanted to use the K3 with the cover always on, I would be turning it off to blank screen between uses. Waking it back up takes the same 2 seconds as from 'sleep' mode. The question is, then, do you have reset problems while using it in the cover? I don't use mine that way, so I don't know. I find the cover awkward and it doubles the weight of the K3 while obstructing the page turn keys.
The tab video was interesting but puzzling, because it is not consistent with what I'm experiencing with my WiFi/unlighted combination (and I have two of them). Obviously it isn't a simple problem since Amazon seems to be having so much trouble determining the cause and is replacing unlighted covers with lighted covers....
