But being such a fierce advocate for never doing it rather than being sensible when you do and remembering it's in your pocket well...

I put my Glo HD, in it's official Kobo case, in the front pocket of my pants during short walks. The pocket is large and loose enough not to stress the device. In winter, I might use the pocket of whatever warm jacket I am wearing. The risk in both cases is very low and is probably no worse than putting it into my backpack. I've dropped things more often when putting them into the backpack than when putting them in my pocket.
If he was actually saying why he thinks it is a bad thing, and pointing to examples of reported problems, then OK, once or twice. But the idea that a "feature" of the Aura One is that it is to big to put into most pockets is absurd.
And I won't deny that I was having a little fun when I followed his post with my original post about pockets. But, I was also getting close to my limit on how many times I was willing to read his statement.
