I've also only had one ereader break on me, and it was one of the NST line maybe the NSTG? but that was due to the battery going bad not the screen.
Yes the plastic substrate is nice, and I worry less about it breaking. But I personally never really worried about breaking the substrate on any ereader I've owned. Despite having them take some falls on to both carpeted and wooden floors.

I didn't use a cover on my Aura h20 either for at least the first 6 months, and due to being in my briefcase with lots of other papers and stuff actually caused a bunch of scuff marks and tiny scratches around the screen that I really can't stand. The screen was unaffected though. So, I bought a cheap cover on amazon and the beating stopped lol.
This brings me to another inquiry - those of you that have the forma, do you find yourself needing a sleep cover? Not just to protect the screen but the device as well?
