I currently have the T1, 505, and 300 Sony models. Previously, I owned and sold a 500 and 950. Each unit has its pros and cons.

While the metal cased units seemed sturdier, it seems to me that all ebook readers have the same weakness -- their thin glass screens. These can easily be physically damaged due to excessive pressure or pronounced flexing of the case.

I would love to see an ereader with a high contrast plastic-based flexible screen that can handle more abuse. In the meantime, I've invested in good protective covering for my ebook screens (Bookarmor cases, Sony inner case with an added outer hard shell, etc)
