Although, as you say, three sides of the Kindle are exposed on the Origami case, the case still extends outwards beyond the edge of the Kindle, so in a fall it should be the case that absorbs the energy of the impact, rather than the Kindle itself. With the cover closed, the Kindle is held very firmly in place, so it's very unlikely to come out of the case, I think. The cover would need to flip right open for the Kindle to come out, because the sides of the case hold it firmly in place.
