I am not even sure if a slim case cover would rescue a reader when one pokes their elbow into it, while getting up. My cover didn't rescue the display in my bag when I took a tumble.

A cover might help, but there is no guarantee.
A cover won't provide 100% protection. But it does provide some protection and it makes it easier to hold the Reader and you have the benefit of sleep/wake so you don't wear out the power button.
