The kindle itself isn't fragile. It's just plastic. It's the screen. There's a brittle layer somewhere that cracks when you apply pressure in just the right way.
I see no physical sign of damage like a crack. Nothing is loose. But the screen is all messed up.
Ironically, I dropped it on a tile floor back in Xmas. Nice dent on the plastic at the top, but it was fine and dandy.
Interestingly, the eink site shows flexible eink display and touts it as "rugged".
