I was pleased to read this:
Amazon says the tablets were built to withstand drops from up to 1 meter (3.3 feet) in the air without sustaining damage. That's a big deal for business users who want an affordable mobile device they can depend on, since most budget tablets are too far flimsy to survive that kind of spill.

I don't plan on buying a cover for the 6" device. I Have always bought nice covers for my tablets, but was hoping at that size to be able to tuck it into a pocket without a cover adding to its bulk. Excellent :-)
