My Sony 900 cost me $300, so I don't feel that is cheap, if it breaks I am out a reader and it will be quite a while before it can be replaced.
Saying that, I have yet to find a cover that I like at a price I can afford. I have carried it in my purse and have so far not dropped it, but in picking it up (which I just did) I realized that I have picked it up on a corner quite often; not the very tip, but then my thumb is on top of the cover over the touch screen (but it isn't much of a cover). So far no problems. Granted, I don't read from it every day either.
I keep the cover closed 99.9% of the time if I am not reading it and have no cats who would walk on it. Never allow anyhing more than a sheet of paper or two to be laid on top of it. I've had it for almost two years, but I will still be as careful as I can.
