Yes but for some of us it's a risk worth taking. Relative to the weight of the reader a case can add a significant amount of weight to the reader. It doesn't slip into my pocket nicely due to the added bulk. It hinders my ability to read with either my left or my right hand. It's just a pain in the butt in general. I've had my readers fall from the bed to the floor, I've sat on them while in my back pocket and I've had one drop from my cargo pocket onto the concrete platform while waiting for the train. I also throw it into the front pocket of my shoulder bag which really offers no protection at all and my readers have never even suffered as little as a scratch. I'm all for covers for phones which generally cost three times as much and fit into pockets whether they have covers or not and I would not be able to get along without even for a few days if I were to break it. Readers on the other hand are a different story which is why I appreciate it when they come with a nice easy to hang onto backing.
