Interesting I have had the exact opposite experience with my leaf 2. I’ve had it for almost 3 years now, never in a case, just drop it in my bag loose with everything else. Not a scratch on the screen at all and it just works. But yeah, since I’ve had literally zero issues I cannot speak to the quality of customer service, I haven’t needed them.

cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 1 week agoThey were my first choice, but like this user I found they were quite fragile, arguably poorly designed, and either you’ll get no sympathy from customer support. Two different models, both in cases, both screens broken, one within days of receiving it. Very disappointing.
Granted, I torture my devices. I read in bed and almost every morning I find the ereader has fallen on the floor at some point during the night. It takes a pretty beastly device to withstand the abuse I put it through, and my Kobo does that without breaking a sweat. That’s why I recommend them.

I built a 3D printed ereader stand that has a RAM mount ball on the other side.
Right now it’s sitting atop a manfrotto monopod between my bed and side table. Eventually want to mount it on the wall, but the monopod has worked well enough I don’t see too much need to change things up.
With a cheap Bluetooth tiktok ring remote bought online, I’ve had a very enjoyable reading experience in bed, and if I drift off there’s no worry about the device
