Thanks, acidzebra!
As far as my stepping on it, I'm really optimistic that I'm not prone to it. It was a confluence of events that led to the stepping on it--I had put it on the floor while I was cleaning off the bed, and a couple of magazines got put on top of it.
I stepped down on the magazines without thinking, forgetting the reader was under there, immediately remembered when I felt it, but by then, *pop* went the screen. I don't think I need something that will bear the full weight of stepping, but just be strong enough to hold off a little pressure from an accidental step (or something akin to that). I'm confident that had the reader been in a case when I did the stepping, I would have been able to avoid the screen popping (I let up on the step well before I had applied the full pressure of my foot).
Anyway, I've seen several threads on how to DIY the dummy book as a case, and I'll revisit them. In the meantime, if you get a chance, let me know how you keep it closed. Did you make a latch of some sort?
Thanks!
Joanne
