Ive read many buyer reviews of the device saying that their H2O's were very fragile. I believe some were on the Kobos website itself? Or the Chapters listing. Either way theres no way I damaged my device due to misuse - I treated that particular H2o as delicately as if it were my first born child.
Check out these reviews!!!

Im with them on this one - hope the new device is a bit better in that regard. Though I doubt it - a larger sheet of glass seems a little more unwieldly with a greater propensity to snap, in my minds eye
