You should only not drop it.
It's not the screen's surface that gets broken. It's the glass subliterate that gets broken. So this Asahi surface is not going to make the glass substrate any stronger.

If Onyx Boox wants the Poke 3 to be that much harder to break the screen, then they should be using a Mobius screen with a plastic substrate. That is the hardest eInk screen to break and that I can see going in a pocket. It's the ones with the glass substrate I would not put in a pocket.
