Hear hear. I bought the Forma because I've had two previous kobo devices with glass substrates that unexpectedly died (as in the substrate cracked for no apparent reason, just turned them on, no recent fall, and it was kaput). My Forma is still going strong long after the other ones died and I do not regret it.
I have a cover but I only use it when "travelling" (this includes commuting) but since thanks to the pandemic I am lucky enough to work from home, I haven't worried about the screen getting scratched up in my bag or anything of the sort.
p.s. Having said that, I do love how thin and light it is.
