There was an article on Teleread where one of their staff visited Irex. The writer asked Irex about the cover, and they said that the screen surface was made of a heavy glass, rather than plastic, that would provide adequate protection from anything short of a direct drop. They really didn't think it was an issue.
But given the nature of the device, I disagree -- and I'm generally not concerned about screen protection (I don't have a case for my Treo). The problem with the iLiad lacking a cover is that if the device is placed in a bag with other books, the screen will be constantly rubbing up against other surfaces.
Aftermarket cases are a sub-optimal solution. The Sony Reader and Jinke are designed with mounts specifically for their covers. The iLiad was not designed to accommodate an attachable cover. There's just no excuse for this kind of oversight.
