My EE has slid off furniture (24 inches to 36 inches) on to carpeted floor a couple times. Didn't notice damage then. Otherwise, I've tried to treat it like a baby. The outside of the case is scratched and starting to wear in places from being put into/taken out of protective carry cases.

I have noticed the plastic between the buttons on the eInk size is cracked. Don't know when that happened. It appears there is too little plastic there, and the case can flex enough to stress it when pressing buttons. I've heard they made the buttons smaller on the PE, so there is more plastic/strength in the case at those points.
