You're right. I forgot about Amazon refurbs.
Still, for the price of the refurbed K2 you got, you can buy a KSO 3 now. Unless the page key size or the lack of numbers on the keyboard are an issue, I think that's the better deal.

I bought an unlighted case for my K3 Wifi, but when it was caseless, I really didn't feel like it was all that fragile. My K1, by comparison, was built like a brick sh*thouse, but it was also a lot thicker and larger. I really don't see anything bad happening to your K3 that wouldn't happen to a K2 under similar circumstances. The screen (which, if I understand correctly, is the biggest failure point) is the same size. And the thickness is about the same, so there wouldn't be a lot more danger there.
