A single bump might set it off and by the time you notice you no longer remember the bump anymore (if you noticed in the first place).

Most cases do not protect against torsion/bending at all. At best they will distribute pressure and dampen some shocks... you'd need it to be solid all around, like a wooden/metal box, a bit of cardboard does not help much.

Kobo should start using plastic substrate instead of glass.
