I have never used a case for my Kindles (but do have one for when I am travelling with it) and instead use a silicone grip cover. I find that far more comfortable and easy to read with, the only ereader I like using a case for is my Sony PR350 as it still feels pretty small and light in my hands. And <touch wood> so far I've yet to damage any of my 'naked' ereaders!

A very good point but one that many people choose to ignore just because they personally want more choice (even from people who don't own a Kindle and don't really have any intention of buying one).

I was told something similar by WH Smith when considering the Aura. Thanks very much to Crowl for posting that link to the latest consumer regulations, however the difference is in both cases, we weren't buying online but from a high street shop, and your rights are different.
Also, even when buying online, there is the difference of returning an ereader because you don't like the way it looks (for example, the screen looks too yellow, shadows from the lights, those scratches along the top of the Aura) as opposed to an actual defect. With Amazon you could return it and ask for a replacement and they'd do that no problem, even sending you the replacement model out before you sent the old one back. With Kobo, they might eventually do the same, but they'd be asking for photos first, and the turnaround would be a lot longer.
