If I slam my computer monitor, I expect it to break. Readers do not break just by touching it or putting it down. You have to give them some sort of twisting or stress. Slamming will break them. I would not slam my iPhone or my iPad or any other electronics. Why would I do that and expect it to survive?
Most Readers have a glass backed screen and those can break if the Reader is twisted, stressed, dropped, or slammed. But the Kobo Forma has a plastic backed screen so it can take more stress before it breaks. It's one of the most durable Readers out there because of the screen. But even with the plastic backed screen, you have to treat it properly. But the Forma ill not break in cases where someone puts a Reader in their carry bag and take it out ad wonder why it broke. It broke because it has a glass backed screen and too much stress or twisting was applied to it in the bag.
The same thing can happen to Kindle, Kobo, nook, and any other Reader with a glass backed screen.
