Definitely the cover. Also, don't forget to get a clear plastic cover that fits over your reading screen (you can get them at Amazon for $1-$2 each). It's a pain to put them on without getting bubbles underneath, but well worth it. I was being careful with my Sony 700 the first week (even with a cover) and still the screen got scratched in my bag.
I highly recommend the clear plastic films to everybody, it's so annoying when you get a scratch/speck of anything on the screen and have to read thru it!
