First, if the case were to protect you against 10 potential breakage scenarios in its lifetime its total value is much more than your calculation.

That said, to me the case has much more value than protection... the Kindle is easier to hold w/ the case, feels better in the hand, turns on automatically when opened without fumbling for a button, gives peace of mind, etc... a nice case makes the device much nicer to use IMO.
