Welcome to the forum, Fractalis!
I've had my 505 for about a year. I don't use a padded case, but I use a zippered fabric pouch to protect from the Reader from the dust, lint, and other debris in my purse. Sometimes I cringe when my purse topples over (really gotta clean that thing out) or I toss it into the car a little more exuberantly than I should, but the Reader has shown no ill-effects.
