I never can make up my mind about cases. I currently have all my ereaders in a case. At other times I'll leave them out of their cases. I really prefer them without cases but I worry about them.
I'm pretty careful with them and I've been using ereaders for about 7 or 8 years and I've never damaged one yet even though 2/3 of that time my devices haven't been in cases. So I think my worry is mostly in my head but putting a cover lets me relax a bit so that's sometimes what I do.
Before ereaders I read on Palms and other PDA's for years and I rarely used a case for those either and I never scratched or damaged one. I always had a case and I sometimes used it.
One correction: I usually do put an ereader in a case if I take it with me for any length of time. I never did that with PDA's since they lived in my shirt pocket. Now my phone lives in my shirt pocket and I don't use a case. I've also never damaged a phone.
