I keep mine in a felt sleeve and make sure that it doesn't move around in my backpack (i.e. keep it between two books, or in a tablet pocket), and so far so good. But all devices that fall have a high likelihood of breaking, it's not like ereaders are outliers in that.
Either way, my money, my rules.

I've read many posts of a Reader that's gone in a bag and come out broken. So unless the sleeve is solid, it's not all that useful. I know a Reader can still break when in a case, but at least the case gives some level of protection that's better then most sleeves.
