Yeah, I've had eReaders for years, and haven't broken, cracked, or scratched a screen yet. Because they've almost all had a cover. (Except for the Rocket eBook reader, which I don't think had a cover anyway. But a washcloth over the screen was helpful.) I don't mind tossing them into my purse when they're in a cover. They'd be in mortal danger if they weren't.
And I hate the sleeves as well. Easier just to flip the cover open. And I don't think people buy covers to mimic a paper book. It's to protect an expensive product.
Now, I just have a popsocket on the back of my paperwhite, and no cover, but it's not what I throw in my purse, my backpack, or my suitcase when I travel. My Onyx Nova2 has a cover, that also holds the pencil.
I figure I can get a cheap paperwhite if I goof and it slides off the stand and falls into the sink like the Onyx did. (not a scratch!)But I'm not going to want to replace the others because I have butterfingers, and a scratched up screen was driving me crazy.
