The impact causes the reader to flex cracking the screen and casing and I don't know of many covers that can adequately protect against a fall...
You can still have a sleeve that the reader with cover goes into for added protection when carrying it around. But, when you read, you have to take the reader out of the sleeve. Then you get no protection at all. Granted, there is no perfect protection other than not dropping it. But it happens. And a case can give some protection which is better then no protection.

Also, with my 505, I find the case is good to help hold it in one hand.
