This morning while walking into the other room with my Kindle held up to read as I walked I tripped and the thing went flying across the room, hit a shelf and fell to the tile floor. I was sure it was a goner but, in fact, I can't see any signs of damage or scratches.
This was a Paperwhite 3, about 6 or 8 months old, with no case. It hit pretty hard on the shelf and almost as hard on the floor and it held up very well.
I always keep one Kindle without a case because it's easier to hold up over my head when I read laying down and this is the one.
I don't have many device accidents. About 6 or 7 years ago I dropped a Nook HD tablet (in a case) on a sidewalk and cracked the screen. Maybe 5 years before that I tripped and an MP3 player, actually a 4.5" tablet-like device, went flying into the toilet and died a quick death. And now a dropped Kindle which survived. That's it!
