And I'm yet another one that doesn't handle my readers with kid gloves and have never broken one yet. I take a reader with me every time I leave the house all year round in Midwest extreme temperatures. It's got a decent sleep cover on it, and I carry it either in a very small purse or a pocket. About the only thing I pay attention to is not to have something else that's an odd shape pressing against the front of the reader when I stick it in my purse or pocket.
I've dropped my Sony 350 about 3' onto concrete several times, not even a scratch. I haven't had butter-fingers with any of the Kobo readers for the concrete drop test yet, but I really suspect it's just a matter of luck in how the reader lands.
I know that the substrate is very fragile, but it's never been a concern for me just using common sense in stashing it away.
