Yes and no. I've had 4 or 5 e-readers, never used a case and never had a broken screen (I do use a wooden/plexiglass box to protect it if I have my e-reader in luggage etc). I have at least 2 that I've managed to drop and the edge hit a hardwood floor hard enough to deform the plastic on the edge of the device. As soulfuldog said, I'm mostly concerned with my devices if going into a bag or something where it might get a direct hit on the screen or more importantly get twisted (with twisting I'm not convinced most cases help you anyway).
I know there are a number of users on here that use their devices on transit during their commute and don't seem to have a problem. With a bit of care and a bit of luck you'll be fine.
