Question for people with broken screens

Dear people who have had a broken Cybook screen at some point...

Did you have your Gen3 in a case when the screen was broken? The reason I'm asking is that I've got mine in the standard brown case (without a hole to see the LED), and I'm not entirely convinced it's fool proof. If I drop the book it has to land on a corner, unless it does the virtually impossible and land completely flat on one size. So if it lands on a corner I'm not confident there's enough padding to prevent the plastic shell of the Cybook making contact with a hard concrete floor.

It also seems that where a screen has broken it's often the case that torque/torsion/twisting has happened, and again I'm wondering if the case is enough to prevent this.

Also, sorry if I bring back any bad memories from people with broken screens, I realise it can't have been a pleasant experience at all, and I hope I don't sound unsympathetic.
