I always, always use a cover, and there have been a number of occasions over the years where that's saved the reader. The most recent one was only a few days ago. A beautiful spring day, so I was reading out in my back garden on my concrete patio. My phone rang, so I put my Voyage on the arm of the chair to answer it, but then accidentally knocked it off. It fell 3 feet onto the concrete floor, and made a large dent in the side of the leather cover. Had it not been in the cover, it would almost certainly have broken the screen.
