I certainly empathize with the original poster - I've also 'broken' 3 kindle screens so far and don't know who to blame more: kindle (or the e-ink screen manufacturer for making these things so fragile), myself (as I clearly must be doing sthg wrong as well, even though I really TRY to be careful) or the cover manufacturers for not being able to provide a genuinely sturdy cover that can stand at least SOME torque. I have to say that Amazon has been amazing so far in replacing the ones that were under warranty.
It DOES seem to me that is a hole in the market. But so has nobody found ANOTHER (NON-DIY, NON-Kindle-specific) solution for this? Because I'd basically go for ANY type of light-weight, genuinely sturdy (is aluminum the best for this?) box in which I can put the kindle when I travel.
