The same goes for my phones, I have a solid multipurpose cover for them, I have dropped my phone outside a few times, and it survived unscathed. Even the phones I use as mp3 players have a case on them to prevent them from slipping out of my hand.

This is me as well. I'm always afraid I'll drop my reader because it's just so slim and smooth to hang onto. The cover is a big help with that, plus I wouldn't be without the convenience of a sleep cover so I can just open and close the reader.
I'll agree with them that the manufacturers' covers are ridiculously expensive, usually 1/3 or more of the cost of the reader. So I always get 3rd party covers as well for under $12 and they've been every bit as good, even better in a lot of cases.
My phone also has a glass screen protector on it, I'm saved from having that on my reader because of the cover protecting the screen. I hate having my gadgets with scratches on them, I'd get a new reader or phone just for a scratch.
