A case is really important and again, how you handle the e-reader is really important too. I'm kinda freakishly careful with my e-reader because I had a Nook that broke less than 24 hours after buying it. It turns out the broken screen wasn't my fault and it was replaced with no problem. Still, I'm treat my e-reader carefully. It actually took me a while to get a case for my PRS-350 after I brought it. So I made sure to treat it extra carefully before I finally got a case for it. I finally have one and even now, I'm very careful with where I place the reader in my handbag and where I place it when I'm not reading. I place it where my cat is not likely to walk on it and I make sure that I don't place anything else on it either. I never place it in my bookbag. Between the laptop and paper books, I'm afraid that too much pressure will be exerted on the e-ink screen and it will break.
