We took a flight back and forth in Europe a month ago. At Schiphol Airport we had to dig "everything electronical" out of the bag into a tray. Included electrical cords, toothbrush, wall charger, powerbank.
We had four kobo's with us, but I made sure they were double bagged: the readers are all in a fitted cover, but around the cover I put neoprene sleeves or a washcloth. Purely for travelling purposes; an old glo broke a couple of years ago while in a cover in a bag, so I'm really really careful now.
On the flight back (from a really small airport in the south of Europe) we had to dig everything out again! Every Kobo, every smartphone, dig around for the toothbrush again.
Anyway, I'm really careful with those screens, especially while travelling. Sometimes I read in Kobo ereader reviews: "the reader is so great, I just throw it in my bag and take it everywhere", I always hope the reviewer won't end up with a broken screen.
