I dropped my K1 in the parking lot while in its cover and it was just fine. I keep my Kindles in covers and try not to toss them about and sit on them. They have traveled with me across the US and internationally without any problems. They have been on the metro and on busses without a problem.
I wouldn't want to sit on it or let my dogs play with it but other then that it is a sturdy little device. I know around 15 people with Kindles and so far only one person has had to get a return and that was due to the K2 sun fade problem. No one has had a Kindle break and all of those Kindles have flown, many have been on international cruises, many are in houses with children under the age of 10, many in houses with pets.
It is a robust device.
