For my T1, I use the neoprene sleeve from the 600 I traded in. I'd use a cover if I could find one that was light, thin, protective, inexpensive, and could be folded back to hold with one hand.

I accidentally dropped my old 500 in the Sony case on ceramic tile. It broke the housing of the ereader but was still functional. Sony gave me the full $100 trade-in value to put towards my 505 (special promotion at the time).
I have dropped my T1 in the Sony case on carpet (accidentally feel asleep on the couch while I was reading). OK, I might have done this 2 or 3 times... It was fine.
Really it's case-by-case. How far did you drop it? Where was the point of impact? How hard or soft was the floor?
