Yes, yes, what sabredog said, please. I would say that some sort of protective case or cover is essential for just about any e-ink device, not just the Kobo, due to the glass layer that all current e-ink screens use. Their screens are very fragile, especially with even slight twists.
My Kobo dropped 1.5m down once. I almost had a heart attack. It was inside a very sturdy leather book-style cover though, and it had also landed flat on its back, so it was fine. Still no problems three months later.
