Device: PRS-505 (RIP), Kobo Touch, Kobo Aura One
I've had a Kobo Touch for 4.5 years now, with daily use on transit, at home, and everywhere else. I've never used any case for it. It definitely works best to make sure whatever bags you carry have a good place to put the reader (so that you don't end up with a heavy weight resting on the device at a weird angle or something).

I used a Sony PRS-505 for several years before that and only rendered that one inoperable when I took the thing apart to attempt a battery replacement and tore one of the ribbon cables inside. That thing was well built, plus it had a lanyard attachment built in, which was great for reassurance when you're reading one-handed while hanging onto a subway strap. Just loop the thing around your wrist and never worry about dropping it. I wish more devices still had those.
