I am banking on my experience being similar to yours in the future. Your point about the case is the most important advice to give regarding protection of the device. I believe mine broke (in my briefcase) because it wasn't in its case. - Unfortunately, Pixmania were not able to ship the case when I bought the reader, so I had no choice, except to leave it in it's box.
