Because you leave the screen exposed. There is nothing to protect the screen. Most of the time when I carry my 505, I have the cover closed. So if I was to drop it and it landed screen side down, the cover would be there to offer some protection for the screen. The skin offers no protection for the screen at any time. A cover offers protection some of the time. I'd rather the cover to protect the screen then the skin to never protect the screen. And I have seen my wife drop her reader once and it was in the cover and the cover was closed and it came away fine. Had it not had a cover, I cannot say if it would have survived.

The edges and the sides need less protection then the screen. With eink, it's all about the screen. Well, mostly.
