Any flexible non-glass screens out yet?

Howdy, I have been out of the loop for a while. There used to be a few ereaders in development based on the flexible displays. I was wondering if anything has actually come out? I have not found anything myself but I figured this would be the place to check. I am looking forward to the flexible displays because the glass backed eink screens break so easily if dropped.

I am currently using a kindle paperwhite v1. I really love the front-lit screen...but I kind of miss the physical page turning buttons. The lit screen is enough of an improvement that I can't go back though, even though I still have a kindle keyboard. What I would REALLY love is an ereader that has the front lighting, physical page turning buttons, AND a less breakable screen. I doubt it exists out there and things seem to be moving towards touch screen rather than towards physical buttons...so I suspect I am out of luck. Still if anyone wants to make my day and tell me about an ereader I have not heard of, that would be awesome!

Thanks
