When transporting the reader in your suitcase or backpack, I don't think the silicon cases really will protect the unit.

I've got the polycarbonat case for Kindle 2. Great for holding the reader in your hand. More or loss the same dimensions as the "naked" reader. It's very robust, but still no solution for the screen, which is the most "vulnerable" part of the reader.
Thanks for the info. I was concerned about it, I just got myself a black one.
Oh another question guys, I have seen these vinyl stickers, decals to decorate your reader. Are they safe as well?
