I think all of the suggestions are good ones. I carry my Kindle (and before that my Sony 350 and 650) with me in my purse everywhere I go. All my devices have only been in the official covers--no additional protection. In the over 4 years I've been doing this haven't broken a screen yet (knock on wood!). Like krazy4kats, I do have a separate pocket in my purse that only has my reader in it. But, with your Mom's history of bad luck with devices, a little added protection (a sleeve or more robust case) might not be a bad idea!
