Well, YOU may say that you "regard the case as essential", but there is certainly nothing on the Bookeen website that indicates that this is the case (no pun intended)...

In fact there is nothing on the Bookeen website that indicates that one must take extra care ( and by 'extra' I mean more so than any of the many, many other gadgets that I own).

Correct me if I'm wrong (I can't get to the website from work) but I don't recall seeing anything saying that the screen is more delicate than, say, a PDA. I regularly drop my Treo when I'm getting it out of my pocket and the screen has never broken (damn thing - I want a new Centro...) - though I would not realistically expect any gadget to really survive a drop onto concrete or whatever. I left my Cybook on the bedside table and the screen broke. Go figure.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that, if the case is essential, should Bookeen not include one with every purchase?
