I'd be hard pressed to say whether ergonomics outweigh protection in my decision to use a cover, but improving the comfort of using the device is at least as important as keeping it safe. Standing up on their own at a comfortable reading angle is right up there with library portability and variable font size in making ebooks preferable to print. Having rigging of various sorts to hook a hand through while needing just a thumb free to turn a page is also nice, whether in bed or in line or on a train. Doorstops have always figured heavily in my reading, so even tablets have had an edge in weight and manageability over pulp editions for many years. The cases I choose tend to add more than enough maneuverability to offset any weight gain.
Granted, I'm a biggish mammal with Nosferatu fingers, so YMMV.
