The issue you're referring to only involves one particular kind of attachment mechanism used to mount the Kindle within the cover, i.e. the "hinge" system devised by Amazon where little hook-like things are actually inserted into the device. And as Kindlekitten pointed out, the problems appear limited to a specific model with that system. So it's not something to worry about.
So far as storage/carrying: the covers shaped like a book cover with some variety of mounting system (there are a few different styles) that holds the Kindle inside and allows access to all functions/buttons while in use are meant to act as, well, book covers (hold like a book, protect the Kindle from dust and mild drops). There are cases without a mounting mechanism where you can just slip the kindle inside and close it like luggage or a pouch, and these are probably a good option if you prefer to use the Kindle "naked." A common variety is the "sleeve":
