Have never used a case (unless you count Sony PRS-505 cover) for ten years now and daily carry my reader in a backpack. Have yet to break a device. My only damage comes from a small scratch on a Kindle PaperWhite2 when I brought it to the beach in Cuba and a grain of sand got between my finger and the screen when I swiped.
Edit: One more reason I don't like the typical cases is because of the magnets in the cover. When I have a few things in my bag, like tablet, reader and phone, the covers and devices use to take turns waking each other up with the @!#$%^&! magnets and drive me crazy.
