Cover's are great protection for tablet/phone etc, but e-ink is a little different.

Jeez, what do you think I'm going to do with the thing now that it's in a cover, slam it around and treat it with reckless abandon? I'm "likely" to end up wondering why I have a cracked screen, am i?
All I said was that the case itself will stand up to the abuse of getting shoved into a backpack - IE when I'm packing up for a trip, with a fancy Noreve case I'd probably want to put it in the dust bag and carefully place it in at the end... whereas with a case with a resilient surface, I can stick it where it will fit. I'm not treating a hemp case as if it's some magical kind of force field that will give a halo of protection to my e-reader.
