I dropped my PRS-500 on the tile floor, and it dented the top-right corner. The screen functioned perfectly for years afterward, as did the Reader's bezel; the dent never interfered with holding or using the device.

If it was "high impact" plastic, I'm curious what would have happened. My Reader denting absorbed the impact. Wouldn't high impact plastic just shatter?

I actually don't like the look of the T1. BUT! I loved the PRS-500's style. When I saw pictures of the PRS-505, I hated it. But when I bought one, I fell in love with the style. The same goes for the PRS-650, pictures and real life were very different experiences.

In terms of look, we definitely need to give the T1 a chance.
